Re: 36 pickup stake pocket wood rails ??
The sides will be attached with old fashioned square head bolts mortised into the board.

36 pickup stake pocket wood rails ??
I'm starting to mock up the wood rails to go along the top of my 1/2 ton bed.
I plan to use oak.
1x4 (3/4" x 3.5") rails and 2x2 (1.5 x 1.5) in the stake pockets.
I've notched the uprights 1/8"...

Re: Figure this one out
I'm guessing as you are pulling it tight you are shifting the internals of the solenoid and completing the circuit.
Are you trying to tighten it like its a lug nut or something? 100 ft lbs?...

Re: Canadian Antique cars go to new market!
Why is it so bad they are going to China?
Is not a Chinese car enthusiast allowed to enjoy the hobby like the rest of us?

Re: Why no Ford flat 4 and 6 sections?
I think you misunderstand my intention, it was not to compare the Ford engine to the Volkswagon engine but rather the wording being used.
Tell me 4-banger and I think of FORD
Tell me 'flat four'...

Re: Problem with Drake fuel neck
It was based on threads like this I decided to get an NOS filler off Ebay. I was happy to only pay $50 plus shipping, cheaper than a reproduction and fits perfect.

Re: locking steering column
This is an assembled drop with the key and the toggle in the OFF position. You can clearly see the pin protruding into the column.
