I'd purchased a Lincoln Viking 3350 auto darkening hood for my son a few years ago to work on a project we have. He's since enrolled in a Welding/Fabrication course at a local college and is giving it a workout. A couple months ago the lens started failing and I called Lincoln after reading they...

Trying to be clever and piecing a puller set together, but will probably cost more than buying complete. Anyway, just need the yoke, CJ123-1. Thanks, John

Looking for 1/2 drive SK 11/16 and 13/16 deep sockets. Knurled preferably, but not essential. Trying to fill out a $6.99 Thrift store set I bought. Thanks, John

Hi, I want to tie into my 240v supply at a 6" square box in my garage to add a 50 amp outlet. Already have 1" EMT from the outlet to the box. I've seen the Polaris connectors and copper lugs, but not too crazy about mondo wire nuts on #6 THHN. What are thoughts on the best connectors to...

Looking for the backing plates primarily, but shoes, springs, T bolts that mount to the axle flange would be a plus. Thanks, John.

Hi, Not sure this is the correct forum for this, but this is where all the vehicle fabricators post so figured this had the best chance of a reply. Need to replace the driver's side door window for a '59 Ranchero and wondering if it originally had the FoMoCo logo. The current one does not, but...

I have a project that isn't anywhere near a build thread so I won't go into that, but definitely will be doing panel repair. The little I've found usually lists 1018 or 1020 CRS and for some reason I'm drawn to the 1020 though not sure I can even get it from local suppliers here in Seattle. Is...

Slowly working on a '59 Ranchero father/son project that was originally manual shift and plan on an automatic. There are a few Ford fans here so hoping someone can advise on which years would be a bolt in. I've read at least '58 - '62, but confirmation is always good. Thanks, John

Hoping this is the best forum to use as a lot of great builds show up under this heading. Basically stock rebuild on 460 Ford with same distributor prior to rebuild. Installed with No. 1 on TDC but spark is occurring between contacts on cap. Different ignition modules, coils, pickup coil, and...

Might not be the correct forum, but there are a lot of really great builds going on here so hopefully someone can direct me to a source. I'm looking for a complete set of OEM style manifold bolts and Ramp Lok washers to mount the stock exhaust manifolds on my rebuilt 460. Dearborn Classics...

Hi, These are all 1/2 drive sockets, mostly 12 point, a few 6 point, and one rusty 8 point. Hopefully the photo shows enough to ID them, but certainly feel free to ask if something appears interesting. Mostly top left is Williams, 1 Duro Chrome, 1 Snap-on, 2 Blackhawk, middle mostly Indestro...

Never had a huge exposure to them other than a couple truck vendors, but always passed them over for the shinier Snap-on or other offerings. Once I read about the hand forging I started to appreciate the somewhat crude finish. I don't see a lot of them around though. Is it people just hang onto...

I received these in a box of tools and have no use for them. I'm open to offers or trade for US 1/2 X 9/16 DBE wrenches, 7/16 to 9/16 Combination wrenches, or a clean Craftsman 3/8 RHFT ratchet or you pay flat rate shipping and they're yours. I just want them gone. Take one or all three. All...

This wrench kept showing up on ebay with no interest so being the sucker I am for underdogs and misfits I went for it. Nothing comes up on Google other than additional ebay listings and a hole punch. The MFD looks like a Proto stamp, but that could be generic. Any ideas? Thanks, John

The ad had been up a week or so ago and I passed it by as I really didn't "need" these, but it popped up again with apparently no takers and was only 20 minutes away so, I figured why not? All older Craftsman sockets which the seller had slowly replaced with Snap-on so these were taking up...

I didn't find anything in the archives on this but if there's a link already please direct me to it. Does anyone have photos or memories of what brand hand tools were common in drag racing pits or shops in the 60s or 70s? I remember S-K ads in Boys Life magazine from school in the sixties, but...

In the bottom of my last tool box find was an Intermec Janus 2020 barcode scanner. I have no idea if it works, but it doesn't have the base and any software is a big ? They sell for a couple hundred with all the accessories, but I'm guessing this one is probably older and maybe kaput. I can post...

Thanks to this forum I picked up my third (only need one) roll away today. It was a $65.00 CL item for an older Craftsman and when I went to pick it up the seller and I were surprised to find some tools in it. She was going to empty them out and then asked if I'd take it "as is". Sure. The...

Hello everyone! I've been looking at this site for a long time so decided to finally join. I'm an old guy (62) and started out as a Navy diesel mechanic, then inside machinist on lathe and vertical mill, outside machinist in a shipyard, welder, and lastly, an industrial mechanic which I'm still...
