Default Schrader Valve Stems

Schrader valve stems are common with Model A Ford’s and I have seen some on 32-34s too.
Were Schrader valve stems used for 1935?
And pictures?

If you are referring to all metal valve stems, they were used in production through the '34 model year in the U.S., Schrader was but one of three suppliers of them to Ford, the other two being Dill and Bridgeport. Starting with the '35s, Ford adopted rubber valve stems and I believe that all three previous suppliers provided those as well.


As an aside, the inner tubes with integral metal valve stems sold today by Coker and others are very leak prone. It is not unusual for three or four out of five per vehicle to exhibit slow leaks. Quality control is an alien concept in some quarters.

That "alien concept" description is amusing but unfortunately, also very accurate.
