What size replacement cast iron pistons were available from ford back in the day? I pulled these from my 27 TT engines while back and just got around to taking the rods off them when I noticed that they were oversized. My 3-4” micrometer is out of commission at the moment and I can’t tell if these a...

It’s been a busy week and I realized that I had e updated this post in a while so here it goes. Upholstery and all glass pieces are in. The rear axle is apart and partially rebuilt. It looks so good I almost want to just keep looking at it. New differential bearings, bolts and one of those fancy 5:1...

Good talking to you Tim! I’ll send the check today.

Brad

I had the same problem when I got my TT. When I took the tires off, the rims all but fell apart. So that got me thinking about another direction. Now we’re making up a set of adapters to run 19” wire wheels all around the the truck. 19” tires are way cheaper than those 20” options.

Just my 2¢
Brad

Sure is. Good stuff to work with and will almost last forever.

Brad

Hot off the work bench. I have multiple sets of Closed Cab TT body blocks for sale. These body blocks are made off of factory Ford drawings. Since these trucks are nearing one hundred years old, there may be some slight fitting required but hopefully not much. They line up nicely on my 1927 TT chass...

Adam I'll take it for that, I have a case that' s in worse shape I can take the hole flange off of if needed. Just out of curiosity how much to repair Hank?

Craig,

I have a set of low speed gears to get you rolling if you want to piece the granny together.

My 27 TT came with an early TT axle that has two spider gears instead of the later four. All of the differential parts look good aside from case bolts that will be replaced. As big as these things are, is there any reason that I shouldn’t rebuild it and find a later axle just because the 4 spider ge...

Mine are round about 0.561”. So +-0.002 would be nice.

10-32 is the trick. Picked up some Phillips heads from the Big box store so I can button up the door until I can get to the local hardware to get the oval flat heads. Thanks guys!

Just go get a bucket of the red stuff from the parts store. I think it’s labeled as wheel bearing grease. Good stuff to have on hand.

Can anyone confirm that the screws that hold on the door glass trim are #8 fine thread? I’m finally installing the glass channels and glass in my doors and the screws seem a little loose. I’m hoping they don’t need to be retapped larger.

Looks like a Dodge sedan to me. It’s big. In my google findings, it seems that only Dodge had the cowl light, vent and body line under the window somewhat matching the picture. I could be wrong but that’s my 3¢.

If the bush seized on the pin and it spun in the flywheel, there was not enough clearance. This is one place where looser is better. I aim for .004"+ difference between pin and gear bushing bore. .005" is better than .003" Others may differ. Allan from down under. I just set mine up with 0.004+ish ...

Give Bob a call over at Bob’s antique auto. He’s the one making the new pins. I just installed a set in my trucks flywheel. Nice machining and they installed very well. The end of the pin is slightly oversized to make up for the wear of driving the old pins out.

I know an old guy Thad does civil war and revolutionary war re-enactments and gave me a little advice on how to make new brass buttons and such look old and worn. Stick it in a bucket and pee on it! For those of us not quite that brave, I guess some ammonia or vinegar will work well. As to how long ...

I found a set of E&J 466’s a few years ago on Facebook marketplace listed as rat rod lights. A guy had them on a t bucket and wrecked it, moved and left them in the garage for the next owner to sell them to me for a cool $40. Let’s just say the payday on those was very nice.

I’ll take it.

I did not. Nothing in spam either.

If only it had the shifter with linkages and the rear plate.

Brass instruments were my bread and butter when I worked in a local musical instrument repair shop a few years ago. Should be a fairly easy fix. The downside is, unless you paint it, the repair will definitely be visible.

So something has been nagging in the back of my head for a while. When I got my TT all body work and paint had been done. On a whim, I decided to go up to that attic and unwrap one of the front fenders and sure enough no mounting holes have been drilled and the mounting brackets haven’t been install...

What year? I’m pretty sure the vinyl is only supposed to cover the middle wood sections and cut off right at the top iron. Here’s the only decent picture I have on hand. Looking at the rear bow on a 23 roadster. The vinyl stops at the bow.

Essentially yes, but the earliest '13 covers had a different clutch shaft to which the yokes were keyed and bolted. Later ones were pinned to the shaft and riveted over.

RV, is this one like you’re talking about?

Brad

I’ve got a real nice one going on my 27 TT project. I really like the bigger light housing. My lens says “STOP” on the top part when lit.

Brad

Hank what keeps the axle from sliding in and out other than a press fit and woodruff key? Looks like tight quarters to get one of the ring keepers in there.

To my knowledge, the only thing available right now in the “kits” is the cobra long grain material. I prefer the smooth material used on the open cars. As far as what’s supposed to be there, I have no idea. I haven’t seen a complete original truck with the original top still intact.

Brad

I used a nice leather grain tonneau cover from a truck bed. It was a blemished product from years ago. The area of material I used wasn’t damaged at all. Way cheaper than the cobra grain plus I really don’t like the cobra grain material. I do agree that it’s better. It’s definitely thicker and made ...
