Re: free starts
The completely worn out and badly tuned engine in my '26 RPU gives free starts about half the time.
So, I wouldn't take it as gospel that a free start is a sign of a good, well tuned engine.

Is that a spittoon or ashtray on the dash
The Model T Touring/Pickup in the movie Giant has some sort of receptacle on the dash. It looks like a spittoon. Or it could be an ashtray. Looks like it swivels to empty it over the side. You can see the top half of it in the closeup, and it looks like it's tilted over in the wide shot. Does anyone...

John, you need to go to your control panel and enter your member number. Then it will show up under your name and location.

Signature photos are HUGE
Some members are linking to HUGE signature photos. And unlike the Avatar photos, there doesn't seem to be any size or pixel limit to these. So the huge photos appear inline, over and over, in threads where they post. I know one solution is to turn off viewing signatures in my preferences, but some m...

Re: Pickup spare tire holder
George, after decades of off road driving, I've learned the same lessons. While I'll still mount the "T" wheel under the bed, there won't be any gearboxes, locks, winch or sliding rollers. I'm thinking it will just be a pair of gate hinges and a latch that looks like the tailgate latch.

Re: Pictures of why "ALL" lifters have to be Butt, New, or Used!
Are you grinding them flat, or crowned? That whetstone suggests "flat".
Flat would be much easier, and if you haven't found any issues with them, I'll follow suite.

Re: Pickup spare tire holder
A spare tire carrier for under the pickup box was produced by International Stamping of Milwaukee in the 1920's. I have seen the advertisements in the Ford Owner and Dealer magazine. I have one, which was mounted on a 1926 roadster pickup. It is constructed of lighter gauge strap iron riveted toget...

Re: Driving back roads in southern Utah
Also, explore the KMZ files on this site. They have gathered up a lot of data in those files. The "Utah Trails.kmz" is pretty useful.

They've also got more files on the other southwest states.

I've driven all over the Escalante area, and all around Lake Powell in Jeeps and trucks. Will be covering the area again in a T during another trip from Peublo, Colorado to Los Angeles in mid summer after the passes in Colorado are open. What sort of roads are you looking for? Easy dirt roads? Harde...

Re: BIG PROBLEMS WITH SHIPPING
I have 100% of the stuff I order shipped to my work address. Even Amazon junk, which they sometimes try to deliver after hours. Nothing gets stolen. Nothing shows up missing.
The only time I don't receive a package is when the shipper can't provide a tracking number.
