A 1927 does not have front brakes.

Is this still for sale ... thanks

Do you still have this set-up for sale ??

I got your message and send my zip code but did not get a message back. For shipping, My zip code is 35610.

I have a 1927 Chevy with a column lock.

I just last week took the hood off and noticed a ID plate under the hood hinge area. Somebody used one of the bolts to mount a voltage resistor block. I have not taken it off yet but i will try to this afternoon. Thank you.

Thanks Chistech ... I have not gotten the engine out but i have started, I really really want to stay as close to original as possible. I found all the parts separately except for lifters. Of course the mains bearings they say are poured babbit. Some say you can bore out to use inserts. Not sure about this. I will look for a 28 head or a whole 28 engine. Any help or advice is great. Thanks again.

Can you buy an engine rebuilt kit for a 1927 engine ? And if so where ? I finally got an adaptor and checked my compression. 53, 42, 0, and 0. Not good. Make be a head gasket but number 2 is low too. I am the goober that if i have to work on it, i am taking it out and going all the way through it. I really want to stay original. Thanks

I am a member and will try to find him. Thank you

On the 1927 Chevy truck ...i have started replacing the cab wood. Trying to line up the doors. This is a picture of the passengers door that i have not taken off. ONE- Is the door supposed to stick out past the front cowl panel or lay flush with it ? TWO - What about on the rear at the latch? Flush, out or overlap ? The one i have not taken off is on shaky posts. THREE - What about the amount of gap between the door and the latch plate? Thanks for your help so far.

Chuck can you contact me ? I am interested in your parts book. tewilliams1957@gmail.com

Thanks. I guess everybody is busy. I read your reply and it has taken me a while to get back to you. I have been looking at photos and articles that i learned alot of what you are talking about. Mine does not have the vacuum fuel pump but i want to put one on or a replica of it. I need a photo of how it mounts. Somebody put an electric fuel pump on it, which is great but i want to hide it. The air tube and exhaust canister is gone, so i want to fix that back too. I want it to look as original as possible. Somebody posted that you have to squirt oil in the holes on the valve cover? Is that correct? If so how much. Thanks for the advice.

This morning i looked while i was actually awake and it is the throttle linkage missing at the steering wheel end. Not the dist advance. Good grief. I also noticed this morning that someone installed a modern plastic case accelerator cable. Everytime i go out there, i find something else. I am not an "original" nut but as close as it is, i sure would like to keep it close to original.

I cleaned points and got it to fire off last night, so looking good. I have to make a paper gasket ring for the bottom of the carb bowl. It is leaking and i have to fix that before i can run it. I did find a number behind the distributor and it has E 16 7 so i assume it is May 16th 1927. And the number 846709. I also noticed that there is linkage sticking out the bottom of the steering column but the rest going to the distributor is missing. Can anybody post me a photo of the column end and how it connects to the distributor ?? Not sure it will run without that. I don't now what to look for or make. Thanks.

Did you sell this ?

A friend of mine says they swapped cars to trucks because they were rationing gas in the USA. Trucks were allowed more gas.

I guess i should post a picture of my 27. I found it just like this in a mans front yard. I almost peed my pants. There is no way he would sell it. He said he drove it up in the yard and it had been sitting there a year. He made me a price and sold I a Buick Roadmaster. Then raided my rat hole money.

I noticed on the 26 (a RH drive) there is an air filter with a tube around the engine to the carb. I do not have that filter or tube. I noticed on the 28 a copper tube coming out of the carb up to maybe a fuel filter. Where is the gas tank ? Mine has been modified and is in the rear, in front of the bumper. A lot of work to do. Thank you for the help.

You guys are great... Mine has a very short oil fill tube. . But i am sure from what you are telling me that it is a 1927. Mine does not have brakes on the front and only one exhaust port. I noticed i do not have an air filter and i dont think i have an oil filter.

I have always been a Chevy fan for the 60's and 70's, but the 20's throw me a curve. I question if my truck being a 1927 or a 1928. One thing that i noticed is it looks like my pushrods are external. Is that common to a certain model engine? Also manuals show a oil fill tube. I do not have one. What the heck ? Is there a place to see engine photos? You guys are GREAT.

Where do I find a vin or serial number for my bill of sale?? Or what do they use that year??

I have just bought a 1927 Chevy truck. Is there a place to buy cab parts or other things ? Thanks for the add Tim W North Alabama
