Re: Spring Start-Up - What to look for?

Your lube chart is for the Model 'A' . Only from the steering forward applies to your truck :shock: Maybe someone can post a lube chart for your truck, see what happens :) Very nice truck if that is in your space. Shelby, Sacramento

Re: Building a shop in my back yard in Sacramento SIMPLE

I never figured that this shop would get this number of viewer (14,150). Seems there was lots of interest. Hope everyone that viewed enjoyed the subject. My 30-31 AA is in storage in Louisiana. All the A's I have here in Sacramento is My L-31 Deluxe-coupe. :D :) :) :) Shelby, Sacramento

Re: Generator
