Yesterday I did re adjust the brakes all around and went out on a country road and slammed them on. Same thing. Just the fronts locked up again. I wonder if some other similar vintage Ford product would have larger bores. Time to hit the parts stores I guess. Thanks for the suggestions so far ! Anyone else????

Oh...rub it in why don'tcha !!!! It should go right in with the right bell housing you, you, you ......

Yes...a big Box full. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v154/olddodges1/?action=view&current=MVC-004F-3.jpg

Yes.....Cause I want you to send it to me for my 42.

Twice now this month I have had to slam the brakes on in my old 52 1/2 ton. Once on a down hill blind curve where I came upon a guy stopped in the middle of the road and backing up and the second incident yesterday. The guys brake lights and turn signals didn't work while he was stopping in front of me to turn left. My truck has the stock brakes up front and a 66 T Bird rearend in the rear with 3.0 gears for faster speed. ( Bad combo lately ) The front drums have 10 x 2 shoes and the rears,if I remember correctly,are 11 x 2.25. The stock brake lines to the front are 1/4" and the lines to the rear cylinders are smaller ( 3/16' or less ) With both panic stops only the front wheels locked up. The rears did not. Reminded me of trying to stop a motor cycle fast. This made the truck want to swap ends and rearend the vehicle stopped in front of me with my rearend. I had to keep letting off the brakes to stay straight which made Ole Yeller take WAY TOO LONG to stop. What can I do to make the rear brakes work as hard as the fronts? I'm too old for this crap. Plumb bigger lines to the rears? Add a proportioning valve somewhere? Sell?

They aren't symetrical. It'll only line up one way. Copper spray seems good.

I do Ed. email me direct at regoevans@sbcglobal.net Baby needs a new pair of shoes:rolleyes: ....Ole Yeller that is.

I went with Diamond Back radial wide whites on my 42 Coupe. 750/16 rear and 700/16 front. When I win the lottery I will re do with 700/16 rear and 650/16 front. Lots of road clearance and low engine rpm's now though:eek: .

My photobucket is working just fine but my mouser has crashed.

Cool....now where's the wall paper paste?

Bob, Glad that setup worked out well for you. Did you have to rebuild the 94's? Where did you find the air cleaners? I guess I'd better get busy and install the 2bbl I got from you.

Knuckleharley, Here's a photo of my 42 Bizzy coupe purchased a couple of years ago on eBay. She's called J Lo around here for obvious reasons. Congrats on your purchase !!! PS....according to this site more than 18 of these were made. http://www.autogallery.org.ru/m/dd1942.htm

Most of my old mopars are missing their heat shields. No adverse effects yet.

Don Coatney from the P15-D24 put one behind his flathead 6.

Does the noise change after the engine is totally warmed up? What's the oil pressure after warm and at idle?

Roberts shows them at $80 ea. in their on line catalog. Order # T47. Are they out of stock?

Whats the story on this sculpture? Is it sand or clay?

Is that the original bumper or has it been augmented? Nice body,butt ,I wonder what she looks like in the bed? Any more photos.

I've always heard that 59 was the last year for the flat head. Of course ,if I remember correctly ,I have forgotten 1/2 of what I've heard. What's the vin number? Is it a Power Wagon? I think Power Wagons came with a 251 or 265 c.i. engine after 1959.

I think Andy Bernbaum has them listed at $45. I think I'll look around some more.

OK Ed. Let me know.. Thanks:)

I'm definitely not an expert on tires or anything else for that matter. From my own experience though with my 57 1 ton with 20" 12 ply radials,45lbs seems to work fine unloaded. Hopefully there is someone else here that knows more about tires......or......maybe the tire store that sold you the tires can give you a better answer if you tell them the GVW of your 3/4 ton. Were your tires expensive?

Cool truck Bob!! I like the hand painted sign on the doors and the sun visor. Are those exhaust stacks I see there? Do you know the story of the business it was used for?

Tony, I forget what size your truck is. Heavier truck = more tire pressure. How many plys are your tires?

If that one got you swearing.....wait till you have to remove the starter
