This is really coming along, waiting to see it at some local shows in the future.
Root, get well quick! I am sure there is still a backlog of projects for you to complete.
I believe all his research went to Don Rogers who is on Ford Barn as well
Don't think Lawson ever published, He's on the Ford Barn.
I used the Speedway stainless steel and they turned out nice.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
On my 1937 pickup it had the same early strike plate. I think Ford just used what they had. Spacing is different, so they do not interchange.
I have a set of old Cragar wheels in good condition, with caps and lug nuts, 14" x 6" and 15" x 7". I don't have a clue what they might be worth....
I have had several, at 13 a Mac 10 with duel carbs on a caper cycle mini bike, then a 235 chev in my 37 pickup. A 365 cad with factory duels in my...

As usual you make it look easy! Great work so far! I am looking forward to more progress in the near future.
Welcome aboard! lots of good info here and on Ford Barn. Root did a forum on 35-36 pickups....

I am looking for advise on which brands of air conditioning I should look at for my 1937 Ford pickup project. I definitely need air, as in the...
I went ahead and ordered from Wescott. Probably the best decision. I can save my steel parts for a little rougher project in the future.
I am considering Fiberglass fenders for my 37 pickup since the original steel are so bad. What fenders are the best? Speedway, Macs, and others...
As usual you guys are doing a terrific job, and inspire the rest of us to try harder. I noticed your radiant hydronic system, what type of foam...

The model for the Carter pump is P 4070. You can see several versions at Summit racing. It says for either type fuel, and wont vapor lock. I'll...
I recently purchased a Carter 12 volt positive displacement electric fuel pump from Flathead Jack. I'll be a guinea pig and see how it works out.
I saw your 40 at the Chelan show this past weekend, and it is better than the pictures. Really captures a late fifties or sixties feel. Looks like...
Guys, I can't take this, I'm salivating, my heart is pounding, I feel like a kid in a candy store! No more!
It will look fantastic when it is done. Great project considering how bad your winter has been this year, it keeps you inside!
Great story Root! I agree that the old drag cars or race cars from the 50's and 60's didn't have the quality that we see today. I remember working...
The 37 bed is longer than 35-36, by about 3 inches. The tailgate is a one year only design. The cab and fenders are the same as 35-36 except for...
The chassis engineering cross member fits where the old one did, drill out rivets, and works great. Sent from my SM-G920V using The H.A.M.B....
