U-Joint Housing early Ford V-8
Did all 32, 33, and 34 Fords utilize the same 32-48 style 3-piece clamshell U-Joint covers? Or was there an alternative single-piece design off the assembly line that eventually phased out?

Re: U-Joint Housing early Ford V-8
The 32's used a one-piece design, while the later cars used a two-piece design. I believe my 34's had the two-piece clamshell . . . but I can't tell you exactly when the change was made.

Yep, one-piece from Job #1 in March, 1932 through the '34 model year.

Re: U-Joint Housing early Ford V-8
The correct early design, I assume?

Re: U-Joint Housing early Ford V-8
Originally made of cork, but a lot easier to install the felt variety offered by thirdgenauto.com.

Re: U-Joint Housing early Ford V-8
There is another variation of one piece clamshell.
Pictured one has grease fitting mid point. I have some like that but also some with grease fitting at 5 oclock. The level of fluid with factory 4oz spec is 5 oclock Always thought the lower fitting was earlier . DavidG would be good to listen to on stuff like this |
