He left behind a large collection of magazines and she thinks it will be a shame to throw them away (and I agree). She's trying Ebay, but regardless of whether she can sell them, she doesn't want them to go to waste. As many of you know, old magazines contain a wealth of information that can be hard to find otherwise, especially for those of you who are restoring a truck. Some of them might be collectors items too. Here's a list of what she's got, please contact her for specific issues: (She can be reached at Nomoreplaytime aol.com, her name is Keri) TRUCKIN' CHEVY TRUCKIN' TRUCKIN' CLASSIC TRUCKS CUSTOM & CLASSIC TRUCKS CUSTOM CLASSIC TRUCKS CUSTOM TRUCKING HI-PERFORMANCE TRUCKING SUPER STREET TRUCKS STREET RODDER NATIONAL RODDER RODDER'S DIGEST HOW TO BUILD A STREET ROD RODS & CUSTOMS HIGH PERFORMANCE RODS & CUSTOMS CUSTOM RODDER ROD POWER SUPER HOT RODS & CUSTOMS AMERICAN RODDER STREET RODDER HOT ROD MECHANIX HI-PERFORMANCE RODS RODS AND STREET MACHINES RODDER STREET RODDING ILLUSTRATED RODDER'S WORLD STREET AND CUSTOM RODDING CUSTOM PAINTING CHEVROLET HIGH PERFORMANCE POPULAR HOT RODDING HOT ROD WILD WORLD OF STREET MACHINES SUPER STREET MACHINES ROD ACTION STREET MACHINES PICK-UPS AND MINI TRUCKS STREET ROD ACTION STREET ROD PICK-UPS FAT HOT LINE NEWS HOT CARS CHEVY CLASSIC CLASSIC & CUSTOM HOT TRUCK SPORT TRUCK CUSTOM CRAFT CUSTOM CARS ALL CHEVY CHEVY HI-PERFORMANCE SUPER CHEVY 1001 CUSTOM & ROD IDEAS ROD & CUSTOM IDEAS POPULAR CUSTOMS POPULAR CARS VANS & PICK-UPS 1001 TRUCK & VAN IDEAS SPORT TRUCKING ROD & CUSTOM YEARBOOKS ANNUALS THE BEST OF...

Mitchell makes a torque tube overdrive at around $1800. The least expensive improvement would be to install a 3:54 or 3:25 ring and pinion in the stock rear housing. -----Original Message----- From: Gary Vandergrift To: pre48-list ford-trucks.com Date: Sunday, June 04, 2000 12:46 PM Subject: [pre48-list] Re: Overdrive >I talked to Gear Vendors about an overdrive for the original flatty through >torque tube.

My solution was 9" Currie built to width/and with orig. bolt pattern. Bonus is much better brakes and my choice of ratios in a bombproof axle. I do miss that old banjo tho. PS I have the rear from a 47 p/u just removed free to a good home. located in Phoenix. Just come get it. Good Luck.

I think the standard car gearing was 4.11:1 through 1936, and then switched to 3.78:1 although 3.54:1 was an option as was 3.78:1. The same book ("Service Handbook 1932-41") says the big trucks had 5.14:1 gears standard with 6.6 optional (later standard and optional were switched), but these also had bigger tires. I was lucky since the 3.54:1 gears were in our truck when we got it. If I've done the math right (and using a figure of 752 revolutions per mile for the stock 6.00x16 tires), this works out to 2660 RPM at 60 miles per hour. 4.11:1 gears would be just under 3100 RPM. I think road noise and engine noise are about equal at those speeds. -- Tom Teixeira mailto:tjt world.std.com 1935 Ford Pickup (flathead V8) http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://world.std.com/~tjt ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 04 Jun 2000 19:14:05 -0400 From: Gary Vandergrift Subject: Re: Overdrive I had a 47 sedan with a torque tube so I assumed the truck did as well. -- Gary Vandergrift GV in CT ------------------------------ From: Rasloto aol.com Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2000 22:29:09 EDT Subject: Shop Manuals on CD Ken, I am not sure if you are the right person to direct my question to. If not, please forward this to the appropriate person. I have a 38 Ford pickup. The "FORDTRUCK1932" item ID ("1932-1938 Ford Truck Factory Shop Manuals on CD-ROM") for sale lists only "1938-1941 TECHNICAL BULLETINS" and "1932-1947 REPAIR MANUAL" that would cover the 1938. The 39 is virtually identical to the 39. However, the "FORDTRUCK1939" item ID ("1939-1948 Ford Truck Factory Shop Manuals on CD-ROM") does not list what is on the CD. I would like to find out what is on this CD. Are the chassis and body parts lists for the 39 (or 38) included on one of these somewhere? Thanks. I would like to feature this product on my web site because I think it is a terrific idea to have these resources available on a CD ROM.
