Default Re: NOS 8RT camshaft

The last new flathead cam I bought was an EAB cam. It was likely the replacement cam toward and after the end of flathead production. That purchase was back in the early 80s when there was more NOS stuff available. The local Ford garage where I grew up in Kansas, couldn't give away all the 8RT parts they had. A friend of mine, that worked there, took most of it to his Dad's shop since he was the only one around that worked on flatheads. He had new heads, cams, and all sorts of chassis stuff for trucks. He used some of it but likely scrapped a lot of it after all the old Ford trucks started to disappear. He had a 1953 1-ton that he made into a wrecker but he converted it to a later Y-block to get more power out of it.
