Re: Anyone restored a E28/AR RPU?

The bed is unique! The bottom part of it has a different shape and it is, I think LONGER by 1" too 1.5"! You should talk with Charles Reese,...he know all this.

Re: drive shaft re-spline

Re: drive shaft re-spline

drive shaft re-spline

Who is the fellow in Paso Robles that re-splines drive shafts? He also does
the torque tubes.
Were doing a Quick Change and need a shorter shaft to fit..

Thank you,

Re: Rear Axle Taper - What It Does

John,
I agree with what you say...also, lapping the taper of the axle too the hub

Re: Brake cross shaft socket springs

Re: odd rear brake drum 30 coupe

You DON'T HAVE AN "AR" brake system...!!
You have a normal brake system for a Model A. An "AR" brake drum will
NOT fit.........the brake drum you have will work.
