Looking for a 1926-27 Front bumper with brackets. Please contact me if you have one to sell. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

How about the new Warfords offered? Is the $2800 price tag worth it? Pretty expensive

Alex Dragone

I have a 27 TT truck that I recently acquired that has a Ruckstell and 5:1 higher speed rear axle. I want to have enough speed to keep up in traffic or with other model T cars. It currently has a milled low head, Chevy downdraft carburetor and original TT Rocky Mountain brakes installed as well. I h...

Looking for a KC Warford transmission for my TT truck. Please contact me if you have one you would consider selling. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

Looking for a 20 inch TT rear rim and lock ring to use as a spare for my truck. Please contact me if you have one you would sell. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

I am looking for a Kunkel heater for my TT truck. If you have a complete setup or mostly complete setup I am a serious buyer. Thanks! I attached a few photos of what it looks like.

Alex Dragone

Brad, thanks for the reply. I will give you a call tomorrow (Monday). And yes I would very much like to see some photos under the seat in someone’s closed cab. Also photos of the underside of the cab around the gas tank to see what the panels look like. Thanks! Anyone else?

Alex Dragone

I am restoring a 27 TT closed Cab truck and I have a few questions. I am currently fixing a few of the panels on the truck, does anyone have a photo of under the seat? The previous owner replaced the door that goes over the gas tank with plywood so I'd like to see what the original door looked like....

Alex Dragone

I know this is not a model T size tire, but I am in need of four or five 35x5 inch whitewall tires. Please contact me if you have a set you would sell. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

There were a few different wheels used throughout production. First in 1909 you had the very skinny spoke wood felloe wheels with the smaller diameter hubs. Next you still had fairly skinny spokes in 1911 with the larger diameter hubs. Around 1913 the spokes got a little larger in diameter and I thi...

Alex Dragone

Sorry for another separate post but that car also has super short front fenders. Very interesting

Alex Dragone

Also if you look closely in the reflection of the body near the rear fender you can see there are only two rivets for each fender bracket on the rear fender instead of the usual 4. Very odd car, maybe the very first model T?

Alex Dragone

Notice also on the car in the second photo that not only is it a 2 lever but it has Atwood Castle three tier side lamps and Atwood Castle tail lamp and most interestingly it has the two bolt front body mount and a two bolt body mount for the center body mount which I have not seen before. Usually th...

Alex Dragone

Hank, do you have a full set of hubs, front and rear with caps you would sell with the wheels?

Alex Dragone

It’s a whole set of 4? Does it come with front and rear hubs and spinners?

Alex Dragone

Gino, I sent you an email

Alex Dragone

So why would Ford use the two tier E&Js with a flared front but not the three tier? If you put a three tier flared lamp next to a three tier un-flared lamp, they are literally identical other than the flared ring around the front, same for the two tier examples. Does anyone have any E&J literature f...

Alex Dragone

Terry, thanks for the pics. Still anyone have any pics of the flared lights on an 09? I have also seen some 09's with two tiers with flared fronts, but I have not seen a period photo of a car with two or three tier lamps with flared fronts. Anyone else?

Alex Dragone

Thanks dan! Great photo! Anyone else? Any cars with flared front E&J sidelights?

Alex Dragone

When looking at period photos of 1909 cars you will notice that many have the larger E&J 3 tier side lamps. Most of these photos show that lamp without the flared front around the round lends. My question is: does anyone have an original photo of an early 1909 with flared front 3 tier side lamps? I ...

Kim, pm sent

Alex Dragone

I am very familiar with the regular model T rear axle, but not so much with a worm drive TT rear. Is the design of a TT rear a lot different than a regular car rear other than the worm drive part? I just acquired a TT and plan on doing it up to drive, so should I tear down the rear and rebuild it? I...

Alex Dragone

Terry I sent you an email. I wouldn’t mind figuring out a way to get it from Texas and Steve I will give Doug a call.

Alex Dragone

I just acquired a 26 TT truck and it has a ruckstell and Rocky Mountain brakes. I have been told that some of these TTs came with a 5:1 gear ratio rear axle. How can I identify if this truck has it? Do I have to disassemble the rear? The previous owner was said to have driven it at 35 mph or more. A...

Alex Dragone

Looking for an original TT truck express pickup bed. If anyone has one please contact me! I attached a photo of a TT with one. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

Looking for 1 original stamped E&J 466 headlight tag like the one I have pictured. I have one of each style so I would even trade my other original stamped tag for one like the one pictured. Please contact me if you have one. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

I am looking for an original pair of Edmunds and Jones 20 headlights. If you have a pair please contact me! Thank you!

Alex Dragone

Still looking

Alex Dragone

Anyone have one?

Alex Dragone

Kim I have a nice one that I had made and never used. I can send some pictures tomorrow if you are still looking. Just send me an email. - Alex

Alex Dragone

Please contact me if you have a tapered leaf front spring you would sell. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

I have a brand new set in the box, never used. Purchased about 10-15 years ago. I can send pics if interested. - Alex

Alex Dragone

Anyone else?

Alex Dragone

I have seen little information about the E&J 366 headlights. I have seen pictures of very early 1909 cars with three tier E&J sidelights and what look to be E&J 366 headlights. You can kind of tell because the rims of the 366s are smaller in diameter than the traditional 466's used on the late 09-10...

Alex Dragone

Anyone? Will pay for them $$

Alex Dragone

Looking for original E&J 466 headlight tags that get screwed on the top of the smoke bonnet. Please contact me if you have one or a pair! There are two different versions, either will work. Thanks.

Alex Dragone

Scott,

This is very interesting, and certainly a fun debate. Either way those lamps will look good on someones car.

- Alex

Alex Dragone

Hi, my cell is (203) 218-1903. You can call any time. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

Scott, Atwood castle was a supplier of lamps for Ford in 1909, but Castle was not. Two different companies. The Atwood Castle lamps in 1909 were #104. I have had the #204 Castle lamps before, but I don’t see why ford would go out of his way to supply side lamps by a different company. While the 204 ...

Alex Dragone

These are not for Model T. The Castle lamp company and Atwood castle are not the same. Ford used Atwood Castle. Atwood Castle was located in Amesbury, MA

Alex Dragone

I have this interesting aluminum accessory valve cover for a Model T and would like to know more about it. Obviously the front is a screen to catch air to cool the valves? But the hole on the other end is puzzling to me. Its a round hole and has a hole at the top for a set screw. Does anyone have an...

Alex Dragone

Price drop: $650.

Alex Dragone

Joe, thanks very much for the reply. Yes I am using a nice Miller master carb and has the same size large throat as the original Roof intake.

Alex Dragone

I am finally putting my 16 Valve Roof engine together and want to have a few words of advice from others. It is a model B roof and I am using a new scat crank. It has been suggested to me that for driving a stipe 250 cam and stock flattop pistons are the best way to go. What do others think who have...

Alex Dragone

I can’t believe no one wants this body. Anyone?

Alex Dragone

Still available. Scott email me.

Alex Dragone

I am looking for a useable set of front Mae West style shackles. Please contact me if you have a pair you would sell. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

Not Firestone. Firestone aftermarket 5 lug wheels had heavy square wood fellows. These are metal fellows like the factory wheels used by ford.

Alex Dragone

Anyone? I can’t believe no one wants this body, especially for the price. How about $750?

Alex Dragone

Hi Jonathan, Thanks for the info! The doors are framed in wood so definitely 23-24.

Alex Dragone

This is a 1923 or 1924 coupe body that I am posting for a friend. Its in decent condition and is very complete. This is the type that has the rear quarter windows that go up and down which I believe was a feature of the 1923-24 cars. The dash is even complete with the original Stewart speedometer. T...

Alex Dragone

Looking for an original Jacobson Brandow coil box switch face plate. Please contact me if you have one. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

I am having a discussion with a friend and we would like to know if the 1909-10 brackets were originally made out of cast brass or pressed steel and brass plated. I have seen them both ways. It seems to me that originally they were brass plated steel. Can anyone shed light on this?

Alex Dragone

I am looking for another spare tire bracket like this one pictured. My car only had one on it and I am missing the other. If someone has one please contact me! Thanks.

Alex Dragone

Scott, thanks so much for the explanation. I have an 09 with a #120A taillight with the handle on the back. Is it possible it could be original to the car?

Alex Dragone

I am looking for a John Brown Model 75 taillight. Preferably unrestored but I will take anything. Please contact me if you have one you would part with. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

Does anyone know what the difference is between an Atwood castle 120 and 120A taillights are? Are the both correct for an 09 Ford? Or is one larger than another? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

Here are a couple of questions pertaining to 1909-10 runabouts: #1: Did all roadsters come with a mother-in-law seat on the rear toolbox? If not, than does anyone have any period photos of one without the seat? #2: Does anyone know what was used as a latch for the rear toolbox (under the mother-in-l...

Alex Dragone

Looking for a set of original 1909-11 forged steel hood hooks. The type with only one ear. If you have some please contact me. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

How about just the smoke bonnet??

Alex Dragone

Very nice. More photos anyone?! Anymore period black and white photos? Or even some more current pictures of cars with them. Great photos and info so far

Alex Dragone

Interesting that there are so many different manufacturers of this type of wheel. It’s also interesting that some have way thicker felloes than others. I’ve also seen the type with the steel ring on the outside. The Stanweld Type seems to have the thickest felloe. I also have a pair of NOS wheels ma...

Alex Dragone

Also I think they really serve their purpose. Meaning if you want to go really fast with your early T say with OHVs etc..I think they are much safer and just seem like they would be a period accessory for that purpose. Here’s a photo of Ed Archer with his yellow speedster that has a set of these 5 l...

Alex Dragone

Thanks for the photos and info so far. So I have a set that are Stanweld. Same very heavy felloes. I have seen very few photos of Model Ts with them, especially period photos. I really like the way they look, very stout like wheels on a larger car. Let’s see some more photos! Someone has to have some!

Alex Dragone

Anyone?

Alex Dragone

I am looking for photos of cars with the aftermarket Firestone 5 lug demountable wheels as well as info about them. I was told they were available as early as 1909? Any photos or info is appreciated

Alex Dragone

I am looking for a complete John brown 15 headlight or one for parts with a useable smoke bonnet. Please contact me if you have anything. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

I am rebuilding the rear for my 1909 Roadster and I noticed that the tube of the two piece driveshaft from this car is actually 1/4 inch smaller in diameter than the driveshaft from my 1915 which has the “one piece” closed spool driveshaft. The reason why I bring this up is because #1 it is visually...

Alex Dragone

Russ, that’s great. thanks for the answer and your help.

Alex Dragone

I am looking to put innards into my tapered axle 6 rivet rear housings. Will innards out of a 1915 and up rear axle fit into the 6 rivet?

Alex Dragone

If you have a lot of power (OHV) and a light car, 3:1 gears is awesome!

Alex Dragone

Also in Bruce’s black book he did cover the earlier version of this box with the small switch, but did not explain the change to the large switch and when that actually happened

Alex Dragone

Thank you very much for the info. So at the end of the day is this box acceptable for a 1910? Also I noticed that on some of the 1912 boxes that the Kingston tag is affixed to the lid rather than the box itself, maybe that is a difference between a 1912 vs. an earlier 1910-11 box?

Alex Dragone

I have a kingston coil box that looks like it had the large rubber switch instead of the smaller brass or rubber style switch, is it a 1909-10 box or a 1912 box? How do you tell the difference? I attached a photos of it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Alex Dragone

Who made your new wheels? Stutzman? They look great! I would love to have some done. Please let me know! Thanks!

Alex Dragone

Let’s see some photos of some early model Ts 1909-1914 time period with accessory wire wheels. I would love to see some period photos. Speedsters or stock

Alex Dragone

I have an original accessory 1936 Ford Greyhound dog ornament that I would consider selling. Send me an email if interested. Thanks.

Alex Dragone

I am building an OHV engine and I want to know should I bother spending the money in a SCAT crank or not? I know this is a topic that has been visited many times before but no one ever gives a straight answer. I have the $$ to buy one, but is it actually superior to a stock Ford crank. I have been t...

Alex Dragone

Anyone? You can’t get this head or a Z head with the Ford script. Last call or I’m keeping it. $475 plus shipping.

Alex Dragone

Price reduced to $500 plus the shipping

Alex Dragone

Steve, thanks for the info. I am open to offers. It’s s great head.

Alex Dragone

Hi Steve, attached are some pictures for you. From the bottom of the head to the top of the head bolt surface it looks to be 2 3/4 inches tall (this is to the very top, not down in the recessed part). I also have the special washers for the head bolts (photo attached). Its brand new ready to bolt on.

Alex Dragone

Guys, I found out by looking on the box that this came in that this head was made by Rod Jensen of Massachusetts in the late 1970s. I have been told that the combustion chambers are basically identical to the modern Z heads that are offered today. This head is a low style head and has the Ford scrip...

Alex Dragone

Offered here is a brand new in the box, never used, Rod Jensen High compression aluminum low head. I got this head with a car I purchased, still in its original box. Rod Jensen made these heads in Massachusetts in the late 1970's. They are great quality and I believe the combustion chamber is the sa...

Alex Dragone

It’s a high head. I can post more pictures tomorrow. It came from an old collector and I think this was purchased some time ago. It’s a nicely made head.

Alex Dragone

I picked up this head recently with a bunch of parts, can anyone identify what this is? Who made it? The chambers look like a Z head. I may sell this in the classifieds. It’s brand new, never used. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
