Re: 1936 Truck restoration
This is the correct under grille pan for the 1936. The pointy end bolts to the bottom of the grille... you should be able to find holes to attach it in the back.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
I don't believe you can 'fix' the temp unit yourself - it is like a sealed thermometer. There are places that restore gauges and can fix the unit, test/calibrate it, etc..
You might want to call these guys (not sure they do your particular unit, but worth checking out): Ron Beliles WILLIAMSON'S INSTRUMENTS, INC. 2018 E. Front Ave. Chester, Arkansas 72934 479-369-2551 |

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Looks like it's coming together very nicely!! Heck, at the pace you're going, you might be driving that baby in a week or two

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Default Re: Restoration help
So I'm at the point where I'm going to start on my electrical. I've not ever done a car this far back but want to keep the appearance of original most likely using 12v. I have all new wiring harnesses for everything and and a voltage regulator, that's the extent of my electrical parts. Just needing some direction ok what else I will need and where to get an original look 12v battery. (Does it go in the engine compartment or under floorboard for a 1936 truck. Thank you for your feedback. |

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
You'll need a generator that can output 12v. Several ways to get there, the best approach IMO is the alternator conversions inside an original generator housing. I have used Whitney if your interested. I keep the voltage regulator and use it for a wiring terminal. If your wanting to stick with a generator they can be reworked to output 12v. Also need to decide if your going to go with something similar to original for a fuse panel or something more modern. If your using original gauges you will need the voltage drops.

I don't think I've even seen, I have not looked, a fuse box yet. Is there anyone that sells an original looking 12 v battery? |

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
I'm going to go with original wiring and fuse block. I'm going to run a 12 volt system so any tips on what I might need to convert that would be helpful. I currently have the generator that went in a 49 8ba.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Either you take the regulator and fields from a -56 up and use them to convert your generator to 12 or go for a alternator coversion as Jseery recomended.
You need a regulator to drop the voltage feeding the gauges. A dropping resistor to heating fan. A 12v flasher relay. Some bulbs. |
