    *1937 Ford Pickup Project*

     



    I purchase a 1937 Ford Pickup Street Rod in February and I'm in the process of slowly making improvements. I have replaced the shocks, Tore all the interior out, & replaced the outside door handles. Currently the pickup is in the shop having all new interior put in. Should be gone for about 5 weeks. I gave the upholster all new door handles and a shifter boot to put on once completed. Still a lot of work to be done.

    Very pretty truck and I'd like to offer a suggestion, you might want to think about carrying a spare coil if that's a Accel Super Coil as it appears to be. I went through two of them on a 66 Mustang I once owned and IMHO if it says Accel on it it's junk.

    It's a 37 with a 36 front grille and tailgate. The split windshield is the determiner.

    The coil has been on the truck for over 5 years that I know of. Still working fine.

    Sweet looking truck. I'm on the hunt for a door latch for the drivers side. The previous owner welded the door handle to the latch as the square hole in the latch was rounded. Quick fix for him but not for me.

    I had to drill and chisel the weld off the old handle and it damaged the square hole in the latch getting it out. Do you have a spare you would be willing to part with?

    Can the latch on the drivers side be removed without removing any of the window track?
