Is it possible that during the change over to the improved 1926 T that any of the late 1925 Cars could have been built with the new 1926 Engine? I know most of the parts are very different from the frame up but is it possible that the new block was being produced before the end of the 1925 model yea...

This is a 26 I have had in storage for several years. I got it out this week to get it running. Put in a new battery , fresh fuel and it started right up. Good to see it running again.

The gas tank on this is between the Frame and under the seat and bed. Just installed a Rocky Mountain 6 speed and Rocky Mountain brakes.

1914 Speedster Pickup

I was driving at a steady speed and it shut off completely. Restarted on battery fine but didn’t run anymore on mag. I’m just happy it wasn’t the mag that failed.

Has anyone had a mag short out from what I think is band lining and oil touching the post ?My mag failed and after checking the switch and replacing it found this at the contact point For the post. All connections were good and still no voltage. I cleared that goo away and all is ok now.

I have a restored side shift and it works great . It’s for the Ruckstell. A little fun on a Speedster.

Yes , He is in Modesto uses part of a shop in Riverbank. I see him on occasion and can get you his number. PM me and I will get it for you.

Everything is new. Dismantled the car and started over. I had the dash apart to look for a gas leak (26 car) and probably caused the loose headlight and amp wire to be loose. Before I install any new lamps I will test the voltage with the engine running and see if the voltage goes up to 10 or 12 vol...

I think the loose wire at the switch was possibly the problem. The engine was running at the time I tested the lights. I installed the new starter and the battery at the same time so a 8 volt battery was not really needed . The old engine and starter combination turned over fine . The new engine wit...

I did find a loose wire on the back of the head light switch. Maybe that contributed to the problem. I put in a new bulb and it instantly burned out. Burned bulb number 3. Checked the voltage at the lamp socket. 8 volts.

I have installed a Rajo head on my T. I am trying an 8 volt battery to give the rebuilt starter a boost. It works great but now the headlights are burning out. I am using 6-8 volts bulbs . Is there an alternative 8 volt lamp or a LED lamp that will work on 8 volts ? Is there a resistor that will onl...

A hose reel can be made out of an old T or A wheel when it is damaged beyond use.

This looks to be a 1923 to 1925 one man roadster top. I will be posting it for sale but I don’t want to ID it wrong. Looks like it has only had one top on it.

1926 Roadster pickup with Ca. Commercial plates.

Completed the restoration of my 1926 Roadster Pickup with the last part I needed. Stan Howe sent me the Zenith U5 carb for the Rajo Head I needed.

Thanks. Makes sense now.

I found this in a box of spare parts with a Model T I bought.

Made some racks for my Roadster pickup.

Nice work! Did you have to make the missing nut from the top of the float in the first photo?

1367EC07-2A2E-482E-AF39-584EFD49C8C3.jpeg Just a follow up on stains on my nickel radiator shell from duct tape . I tried a few products but the stains remained . Then as suggested I looked for a product that mentioned Nickel in its line up of metal it would clean. I tried Flitz Metal polish an it ...

Yes . The new springs were to long. I used the old ones. I also preloaded the bottom spring as suggested. That’s the only way I could get enough thread to start the nut. All good now . Thanks for the help.

Seeing a more clear drawing really helped. The lower thimble didn’t fit the hole drilled in the radiator flange . I had to ream it out. When I got the roadster the hood didn’t fit right . It was sitting up to high. Now I see why. Now everything lines up. Thanks.

Thanks, This makes it much more clear . I will check out the gallery. I didn’t know to look there. Mike Robinson

Does any one have a clear view or cutaway showing the proper installation of a radiator on a 1926 T ? I have a Ford manual but the photos aren’t clear as to the correct layout of all the Layers of parts starting with the fenders on up to the crown nut.

Seeing the doors installed brings the color pattern together. Maybe it served as some sort of taxi or shuttle car.

How does it mount on the car and did it really help in any way ?

What is this part ? Looks like it could go on the front axel under the motor mount. What would be it’s function ? It was in a box of T parts.

Thanks . That is what I am worried about . Doing damage to the finish. It’s to nice to wreck it by rubbing through or making things worse with the wrong process or chemical.

It looks like a chemical reaction from the duct tape through the cloth covering that was protecting it.

I purchased a 1926 nickel radiator shell that was wrapped in rags and then wrapped in duct tape in 1979. The tape caused a stain on the finish that doesn’t wipe off. What product would be safe to polish it out? The staining is just dull areas.

My shop took a hit this winter. Branches hit two cars.

The thickness of my 26 is 13/16 . My bed has been replaced in the past but it fits correctly.

Does anyone know how Ford would finish the wood in the bed . Oil , stain varnish or paint ? Or was it just left natural ?

Yes the holes are there.

Thanks for the photo of the blocks. That really helped. I will set it up as suggested and things should line up a lot better.

After painting my 26 roadster pickup I am installing the body back on the frame. When I took it apart there was wood in odd places between the frame and body. Things really didn’t line up right either . Does the body bolt directly to the frame or should there be some type of spacer like a rubber was...

Picked up my 26 T Roadster pickup from the paint shop Friday.Im very happy with the results. Now the real fun begins!

Oliver, First day we got him.Eight weeks old.Broke him In right away. He is eight months old now and sits up as tall as me! He needs a leash on as I think he would go over the door to greet another dog.

Thanks for all the input from your experiences. I will try it myself first with sand and see how it works.i will also try paint remover. If I end up taking it to the local shop I will have them do a test piece like the tailgate and see how it looks. The paint on the T is very hard and fairly thick. ...

I am getting ready to prepare my 26 Roadster Pickup for new paint. Does anyone have a recommendation on what media would be best? Sand, glass beads ect. I have been told sand can damage the metal and warp panels. The local powder coating shop said they do car bodies using sand without any problems ....

A couple episodes back the owner of the lumber yard sat in the drivers seat as his wife hand cranked the engine without pushing in on the crank . If spun over very quickly but the funny part was hearing the starter crank the engine in the background

I got this old speedster project back out that I started about 10 years ago. I installed the engine last week and now need to make time to get the rest of it done.

I will need to do the same on mine . I always thought this was sold as a bolt on accessory. I might just save this for a future speedster project we’re I can move the firewall. Thanks

By chance a friend of mine has the later modified B head. we set it on my block and the head clears the firewall nicely but the rockers still hit the firewall and the valve cover is also hitting the firewall. Even with that head cutting would be needed. I have not seen this done on the later firewal...

I am looking for information on installing a RAJO B head on a 1926 T Roadster pickup. it looks like I will need to modify the firewall and possibly the gas tank to get the clearances needed to install the head. Has anyone done this installation before on a 26 ? This is a stock pickup and I don't wan...
