Changing oil on a 39 ford flathead, where do you get filters for these?

Re: changing oil on 39 for flathead?
Can you post a picture? What type of filter setup do you have?
If it's a typical bypass canister type, C4 Fram or WIX 51006 should fit. Napa carries the WIX. Best to pull what you have and post a pic of the filter or at least the housing.

Ya pic would help. 39 doesn’t have a filter.

First picture is Wix, second picture is Fram.
I am a Wix man myself. The third picture is the Wix filter I pulled out of my engine 11 years ago, after I bought the car. |

I like the full metal housing of the wix compared to the fram but the fram is easier to cut open for inspection if needed.

There's a video on You Tube where a guy compares the various brands of spin on filters. If you watch it you will avoid Fram filters.
