I know you aren’t the scammer @Uptowndodge, but there’s been several scammers private message me.. It’s people like you that I appreciate on this forum.

It’s amazing how many scammers are sending me messages on this wanted post. If you’re a scammer please don’t waste your time it’s so obvious who you are.

Unfortunately only standard size were made by GM/Olds and similar with aftermarket manufacturers for these 8 cylinder engines. Most members of the 1932-36 Oldsmobile FB Group all report going down the costly path of pouring babbitt bearings instead. My brother had to do this on the big-end bearings in his L36 engine recently also.

Thanks but I've been unsuccessful getting a response from the member who posted that pic so the search continues for a little longer before I attempt making a set.

(pic for attention only). I’m looking specifically for either a 1932 F.32 or L.32 Oldsmobile Sport Coupe. Ideally a good solid original car or older restoration that’s not in need of a ground up restoration. Please PM me if you have something that might be available at some point (I’m in no rush, just looking for the right car). Thanks in advance.

That binder is from a 1926-27 Oldsmobile Dealer Showroom Album.

I'm still looking for one or a pair of these if anyone can help. Please send me a PM if you can assist. Thank you

To help widen the search, the '39 Olds Parts Book shows that the wheel rims were the same on both F & L models for 1937 & 1938. Good luck with the search.

If these are in Oz and available could you please DM me. I'm in Aus too and had been advertising here looking for a set. DM also sent Thanks.

I'm looking for original fender skirts for a 1935-36 Oldsmobile. If you have a pair or even one then please send me a PM with photos & details. Thank you.

I'm looking for an NOS Transmission Counter Shaft (for the cluster gear). GM part number 553432 or Lempco T187-3. This shaft fits Oldsmobile '34-38, Pontiac '35-37 and Buick "34-37 (40) and '34-35 (50). Needs to be NOS with no surface rust, pitting or handling bruises. If you can help please send me a PM with photos, price etc. Thank you.

Looking for fender skirts (the original factory flat style ONLY) for a 1935-36 Oldsmobile. If you can help please send me a personal message with details. Thanks

Looking good, keep it up. Did you have many problems getting the later 230 engine to fit ?

@philipj and @Bloo you mentioned above that you were keen to see a 5588. Well I bought a bunch of parts at an auction this week and amongst them was this 5588 regulator.

Might be a bit late but this may help just a a little bit. It shows the rear door panel of an F.35 Holden Bodied Tourer. It has much the same pocket as what the Sedan doors have. The seats are effectively Sedan seats. I have a good set of Sedan seats that I will soon dispose of so let me know if you are in need of photos or even complete seats.

Sorry I missed this post so you may have already advanced here. Stainless trims on the running board edges was a feature on 1936 L.36 8 cylinder models only. F.35/36 & L.35 were plain rubber - no trim. I have a couple of NOS running boards and the rubbers are definitely moulded on. They look quite nice but the rubber is now brittle but still a real challenge to get it off the steel core. As Jewell55 mentioned the 8 cylinder boards are longer by about 5 1/2".

I stumbled across this photo of a barn find original F.36 which appears to have the original 5557 with flat faced cover (no retaining screw on the front face). It looks much the same as the 5585 on my F.35.

Sorry, I'm too far away from you in Australia. But when you get desperate like I did at one time you buy a plane ticket for you and your grille to fly home. This is the only NOS grille I've come across and will hopefully go on my F35 in about 2 years.

@Mkelsey7 Michelle, that grille is quite repairable if you have the broken pieces, if you don't then you need to search for another broken grille and weld pieces into yours . I've repaired one in much worse condition but the bigger challenge is usually how much pitting & corrosion there is to the surface of the grille. The welding on this L.35 was the easy part but rebuilding the surface for chrome is very time consuming. I'm about to start sanding the copper plating back for the last time on this one before the final nickel & chrome.

I've only just seen this thread and will certainly do some more research tonight but just confirming that the 5557 is listed for both F&L 36 models in the January 1st 1936 Issue Olds Master Parts Catalog. The 1938 & 40 issues shows 5592. 1940 Delco Parts Book shows 1118213. So obviously a lot of changes along the way. Surprisingly I can't find an Oldsmobile Technical Bulletin on the initial change in numbers.

How's progress with the floor going Bob. It's a challenging job but worth the effort. Keep us updated as you progress. Cheers Rohan

I know this listing was posted back in December but if you still have this fender extension I thought I'd let you know that the part number 418742 suits 1946-48 Olds Series 76 & 78. Cheers.

Yes agree, my problem is that I need an original core as I only have the standard wheel (without the the chromed wire spokes). From looking at the Buick wheel its exactly the same except the pressed metal logo on the horn button.

I'm looking for a Deluxe Steering Wheel for a 1936 Oldsmobile as shown in the photo below. If you have or know of one in decent condition please let me know. I believe these were the same as used on '35/36 Buick too. Also interested in an original radio too. Appreciate any leads, thank you.

Just for interest, that's a 1935 Olds heater you have. Hope it finds the right home.
