Re: Flathead V8 Installation

Ok, that is of some help. Perhaps the seller has misidentified the year, but it is a flathead engine. I'm not planning to take a long trip or go highway speed, My intent is to just stay around town with it, go to local meets, etc. I just like the look and sound of the flathead V8, and really don't w...

Re: Flathead V8 Installation

I haven't acquired the engine yet, but after looking over the truck and at flathead V8 photos online, it appears to be a fairly straightforward job with everything I already have onhamd.... considering the fact that the driveshaft has previously been cut and extended with a segment of iron pipe (thr...

Re: Flathead V8 Installation

Would that be a definite maybe, or is it purely hypothetical?

Flathead V8 Installation

After attending to other things, I'm finally finding time for my AAs !!!!! Just exploring the feasibility/practicality of stuffing a Flathead V8 from a '55 Sedan in a '28 AA flatbed with a worm gear drive rear end. It is well within my skillset to modify or fabricate cross members, linkages, fuel li...

Re: Worm Gear Drive Towing

Kingpins are a bit sloppy, so I rented a tow dolly to keep it stable. All went well. Thanks!

Worm Gear Drive Towing

Using a tow bar, to go a distance of about ten miles at around 25 mph. Is this advisable, or not?
Thanks in advance for responding!

Spare Tire Location

It's really tempting to put side mount spares on my truck just because I like the look, but I'm at odds with myself to cut on it order to modify it. I'm trying to come up with a way to incorporate them into the flatbed so they'll look 'authentic'. Since I have to refit the bed to the truck, modifyin...

Re: Flatbed

I greatly appreciate that bit information and will be sure to include the correction in my dialogue when discussing the truck with the 'uninitiated'. Thanks!!!

Re: Putting Wire Spokes on the '28/'29

Those snap in plugs are a great idea! They could even be attached to a ford script badge so they wouldn't look out of place to the untrained eye, and they'd serve the practical purpose of keeping out dust and water until I find the elusive deal on proper caps. Thank you!!!

Re: Flatbed

"Just because it came off of a '28 doesn't mean it left the factory with it." Copy that! I've come up with some very convincing Frankensteins that give some old timers fits, but Henry was a frugal guy and these were just work trucks. My "29" is actually an early model '30 with a ...

Re: Putting Wire Spokes on the '28/'29

just fitted up one side to get an idea of how it will look when finished. Always good to contemplate things over a beer or three!
