In 1967 I bought a new grill for my '36 Ply from JC Whitney. Cost me $29.95. Sometimes the "good ole days " really were.

 

 

 

 

Ya at some point back in the ole days they had reproduction windshield frames for 39-47 trucks. Now they cost almost 1K

The 1937-1938 trucks are just as expensive...  Hard to find good ones.

Mike, in 1956 I bought a 37 Ford two door sedan for $40.00, then discovered it had mechanical  brakes and a V8. Brakes so bad I was scared to drive it.

One day while driving a 1933 Cadillac, I heard a loud "Bang" while applying the brakes.  The pedal went to the floor as I idled between cars while running a red light.  I was terrified! Needless to say, I don't care for mechanical brakes either.  I don't blame you one bit!

 

The pivot to the front brake rods broke....  It's dragging on the ground really didn't aid in stopping me.  It seemed to somehow affect the leverage to the rears, they really didn't seem to be useful.
