Here is some more pictures, if it has been home made it is very well done. Anyone have any idea on the age of this jack??

Hi again, I have this old trolley jack that came with my 1928 Chrysler series 62 roadster. I do not think it is the original jack from Chrysler, and there are no marking on it, but I would be interested in knowing more about it, thanks. And NO it is not for sale.

Update, I found some more bits off the steering column today in my shed. A bracket and small gear that fits on the bottom of the steering column for a gear driven light switch, I will take pictures tomorrow to post , but can anyone confirm if Studebaker had a gear driven light switch at the bottom of the steering column that was operated from a control lever in the middle of the steering wheel, ?? thanks

looks like a Hudson

Never seen one like that over the years. Wayne Sheldon said he was walking with a tank a guy identified as mid 20's Nash but did not say the one they identified was the same. I have a late 26 Nash and had remains of a 1918 Nash, neither of the autovacs were like your one. I also have had several Chrysler cars from the 20's, again no match to yours.

I know the steel chassis frames on old cars were rivetted together to allow the joints to move when the frame flexes, and that you should never weld the frame joints or they will crack, so I am thinking , were the wooden body framework on these early cars (1920's) just screwed together to allow a bit of movement, or were the joints glued and screwed. I would like to hear guys opinions, or does anyone know for sure what the manufacturers did, thanks.

Thank you Leif, I think you may have nailed it. Although the car is a RHD the control levers and pictures of the right hand drive column show similarities, it may well be Studebaker.

It is very possible that Weed may have been an aftermarket item, however the 2 cars I picked up in pieces were taken off the road in 1938. So maybe the original shocks were replaced during the 10 years the cars were used, but who knows.

Hi Gary56, what indicator part are you looking for, the tank unit or dash unit and for what car???

Many years ago I rebuilt a Chrysler 52 from the remains of 2 cars, a Model 50 and a 52 that had both been stripped. Amongst the parts that came in my pile were 3 of these Weed levelizers still attached to the mounting brackets. As I only had 3 in poor condition, I never got around to rebuilding them, but I did open one and it had from memory a couple of heavy duty springs inside with an internal drum with some lining. I can't tell you much more about them but if it helps, I am sure those were probably correct for your car. In the 48 years that I have been owning and restoring Chryslers, I found no info on these shocks, yours are the first other ones I have come across in all those years.

King Sealey fuel guage, common on a lot of cars, early to mid 30's Ford, 28/7 Nash, 35/6 Auburn and others used them. Look up Curti on this forum, he sells the guage fluid and can probably send you some instructions on how to refill and calibrate your guage,

Yup, there were no workshop manuals back then, look on ebay for a Model 50 owners manual, it will have most of the info you require.

Saw this on a facebook group recently. It was identified as an after market badge made in the middle east for a Jaguar

Thanks guys for your input. The column still remains a mystery and I don't want to scrap it.

Again pics were found on the internet of this factory built series 72 cut away for demo purposes. Note it is RHD, hope these pictures help both Leomara and 31lasalle. Hope the pics do not infringe any copyrights.

This series 72 chassis was built as a cut away model for demo purposes. I found the pics on the nett somewhere. Hope it helps

Hi all, I bought this LHD column in 2014 at Hershey for the wood wheel rim. Can anyone ID this steering box? the guy selling wasn't sure but thought it may be Hudson? The 2 levers shown came off the top of the column and fit splined control rods, Any ideas TIA

Sorry I can't help with pictures or measurements as both my cars are right hand drive and even the exhaust manifolds are different. Yes the RHD manifolds are not the same as a LHD car, because they need to clear the steering column. This is something guys probably do not know, one of my friends imported a Model T Ford exhaust and was complaining that it would not fit for the same reason, so if you have a right hand drive car be aware that the exhausts from USA most likely will not fit.

I have looked at my cars and at a lot of pictures I have gathered over the years. The hood hardware on my original 26 G70 hood has as follows:- Hood handles nickel plated. Parts attached to hood all nickel plated except for the square nuts. Hood latch parts are attached to the hood with nickel plated round head slotted machine screws, these screws are 3/16 diameter unf, overall length 5/8 or threaded length behind the heads are approx 1/2 in. They have 7/16 unplated square nuts (rusty) with spring washers. My hood latch handles are missing, but pics I have of other cars show all parts are nickel plated except the tube part that is painted black. On my 28 series 62 roadster ALL hood parts and the hood handles are painted, there is NO sign of any parts having been plated. The pics I have of series G70 show all the parts exactly as for my series G70, however, as the series 72 seems to be more upmarket for the era, I would think some may have had the tube part on the hood latches plated. I have no real close up pics of the series 72 hood parts, so they may have been rivetted on, not sure.

Have you tried Waldronexhaust.com to see if they have one for your car.

Look up Curt Schulze, he goes under Curti on this forum, he deals in Auburn parts. Also Stan Gilliland may have at Auburn Cord Parts in Wellington Kansas.

Hi Leo, The same parts on my 1926 Model G70 still have original nickel plating on them, so I would think the plated parts shown in your picture are correct. regards Viv.

There are 2 different thread sizes of those brass fittings. I'm also looking for 2 of the smaller ones for my 1926 Chrysler G70. Looked today the bigger ones take a 17,25mm pipe (measured on outside of threads)going into a 16,25mm brass fitting (measured on inside of threads). The smaller ones (that I need) take a 15,80mm pipe going into a 14,2mm brass fitting, measured as above. Regards Viv.
