The rim itself looks to be standard rim. The upper brackets could be made if you are handy, that would leave the lower one to find or make. In late 1922 (around 647065) the bracket design was changed to hold the tire higher. The Master Parts List shows the three brackets as line items, but the rim is not shown as separate screen/panel item (that I could see).

Through 1919 the Ford Model T used leather pads, 1920 went to spring mounts for the radiator.

I was thinking the hole next to the gas pedal would be for the foot rest. Many cars of that era had them.

1914 through 1916 would have come with a magneto. For 1917 the Delco distributor was used which was latter superseded by the North East unit. Magneto remained in use especially in countries like Australia but also could have been fitted to US cars even after the introduction of the distributor.

Those look to be cable activated brakes not hydraulic.

Don't know about the truck, but that rearend looks to be a Columbia 2 speed rearend for Ford from the Flat head V8 era. (1930s ?)

"registration document that you can produce if you are pulled over" Title is not carried in the car. You get a new registration slip each time you renew your plates that is kept in the car. Title proves you own the car and can legally sell it. Registration just shows license on car is current. Registration along with proof of insurance and drivers license is what you show the cops when you get pulled over. The only thing that needs to be updated on the title is your address if you move. (For Oregon anyway)

Go to 5:07, pretty close to what is shown in the video: -
Does your mechanic realize that the oil pressure is maybe 4-5 pounds feeding the mains oil line? It is a volume not pressure pump. Not sure why they can't remove the flywheel, it's 6 bolts holding it on. But if were to guess they are using the flanged it to support the block so can't get it past the mounting arms.

I got my pan and seal gaskets from Olson's. (note the spelling) Engine Gaskets for the Antique Market - Olson's Gaskets (olsonsgaskets.com) I got my head gasket from them too, but they were out of copper so got the steel one. https://www.olsonsgaskets.com/products/?application=automotive&make=dodge&cylinder=4 You don't have to buy the full set.

Flat head 6 up to the introduction of the overhead valve for trucks too. My 1948 F2 flathead 6 has the same carb.

1929 used the Gemmer two tooth also.

When valve gap that small is given, more than likely it is for an engine that is up to running temp., not cold. -

Mark Gregush replied to Studebeggar's topic in Dodge & Dodge Brothers
You might cross post this in the Chrysler Products forum. This section is more for the 38 back DB's and might get more eyes on it in the other section. -
the bumpers are 30/31 Ford, the spring leaf (front) could be A or T depending on how wide and long it is.

Reversing the polarity is for a generator to realign the residual magnetism when changing the ground. Starters like used in the Model T or A, don't care what way the current flows, they still turn the same direction as built. There are 4 brushes used, two receive power from the battery and 2 are return path, grounded. Pretty sure if the pigtails were mounted to the grounded brush's, the motor would not even turn, just a direct short through the field windings to ground with power bypassing the armature.
