Oil bath air cleaner

Found a Ford y block -55, Oil bath air cleaner. I belive the stock -56 one is not a good looking as this one, So I will be trying to modify this one so that it can take a modern paper filter and mount to a modern 4-barrel carb.

New stock sized rims

Found a set of  new stock sized rims for my 56 ford truck this winter, today they finally arrived. The are 15x5" with 5 on 5 1/2" bolt pattern, primed and came with some new Dennis Carpenter hubcaps.

I wish I could find wheels like this on my 2011 daily driver!!! that would really set it of in the world of  5 spoke aluminium wheels..... maybe some day.

NOS Delbar reflector flare kit

 

From Ebay

 

Ok I admit it, I am a nerd. I just love the thaught of having a period correct reflector flare kit. Maybe its usual in the states, but I have never seen one in Sweden.

 

 

Ebay add:

 

This is an NOS, complete Delbar Reflector Flare kit from the 1950's or 1960's. The box is made of a light gauge aluminum and is in excellent condition but does have one small dent on the backside (see picture #5). All three of the reflectors flares are complete including the tripod, red flag and the spring loaded rod which supports the flag. All three of the tri-pod bases have beautiful yellow cadmium plating and were never used. This reflector flare kit was required in some states and was sold by automotive and truck dealers. Payment is expected within 10 days of the close of the auction. We charge actual shipping only and are always glad to combine shipping on several auctions or you would be welcome to pick them up at our shop. Thanks!

 

 

 

"Attitude is everything" metal sign

This little metal sign is on its way home to Sweden. The color and meaning should fit great on the truck when it´s finished. Maybe in the back window? 15 3/4" x 4 3/8".

Eaton power steering pump
