I am replacing the rear spring in my 49 Super, I have read in the manual about the c-shaped shackles and nuts.
I believe other cars like Chryslers used the same type of rear shackle:
"Finish tightening the rear shackle nut.
It is important that the shackle be located properly so as to insure the bushing being threaded far enough on the shackle but not far enough to bottom the thread in the bushing as the shackle moves in its normal operation. Bottoming will cause a hard ride and shackle breakage."
Has anyone done this? Could someone tell me how to know when the shackle is threaded far enough? Should both sides be tightened the same amount? If not bottoming, then how much? Is there some way to gauge it? -
Sorry, engine is sold.
Thank you

I just removed a perfectly running 262 from my 1949 Super Six and would like to sell it complete with the 3 spd trans and overdrive.
Engine was running absolutely perfectly right up until it was removed, clutch is good, overdrive works fine, does not use oil or smoke. Engine removed for transplant.I can send a video of it starting and running if you leave me your email.
Here is a video link of the 262 in action:

Anybody?
Surely someone out there has one...even in rough condition??
Thank you

I need an original air cleaner for my 1936 Buick Roadmaster. Here is a pic of what it should look like.
Any condition will be considered and if it helps, I could pick it up at Hershey next month.
Thank you

Yes, I did.
Persistence paid off and I finally found the man that had the parts I needed.
Thank you Old Car Parts!

Hi airbrush guy,
I found one that I think will work for you. It's just one, but it is NOS. It's 75 5/8" long. It's marked 1939 Buick Model 60 by Keller Moulding Co. which made mouldings in the 1930s and 40s. I will send you a PM tonight or latest tomorrow morning with some pictures and double check the measurements. The design looks correct though.
Never heard again from OldCarParts.

Thank you

40 series is too short, 90 series is too long. Haven't heard from OldCarParts.
The search goes on!

He may not have auto notifications turned on to receive private messages. I think he also has them listed on eBay. May be able to get through to him via eBay
Thank you....I guess he'd go by OldCarParts.?

I keep getting notices that I have activity on this post. I am awaiting a response from Old Car Parts in regard to the 75 5/8" piece he said he found and would pm me about.
I am getting no response either posted here or in regards to my pm I have sent him.
Am I missing something?

Old Car Parts, haven't heard from you, what happened?

Cool-ooooooooo

Thanks MrEarl, I am determined.
if the job on the running boards wasn't so perfect I would be doubly frustrated but they look great even without the trim, I would just like to make them look correct.
these last posts by OldCarParts got me excited and I hope there is still a chance he has some 75" pieces, I am attaching a pic of the end of the one piece I have already. Keep in mind that I could accept another design if it is two great 75" matching pieces.
Thanks everyone

Thanks Bill, you trim piece looks exactly like mine as far as pattern, but surprisingly it looks exactly like the tip of the piece I was going to have "fixed" by a friend who ruined while attempting to weld/fill the screw hole.
That is why I need only one. The 75" length is the biggest aspect to overcome in my search, so if someone comes up with a 75" piece the pattern is secondary, you can see from previous posts that my car is completely done except for this trim.

air brush guy,
I was wondering if you were still looking for the running board mouldings for 39 Century. I know I had asked back a few months ago, but just found a NOS pair when I was doing some spring cleaning. They're always in the last place you look. Now, I'm not sure about the year and model of Buick, but take a look to see if these are the right ones. If they are not, and you have a picture of the original ones, send it to me as I may have them. (they are NOS / never used, there is still some of the original brown paper wrapped around them. I know they may look dirty in the pictures, but they have no dents or cracks. They're straight.)
Still in need.
The pieces I need are 75 1/2" - 76" long. Could you measure these and tell me their size, thank you.
-
I still need this molding.
Please respond if you have one.
Thanks
-
Still out here looking....pursued all recommendations....all dead ends!
-
Anyone????
-
Yes rlcokc, I do like Max Merritt but I will go to them as a last choice since I would really like the moundings to match the rest that are on the car and I do have one original side so I only need one other.
However, even needing only one is proving challenging. I know it's out there and I'm not ready to compromise yet.
Thanks
-
Yes, I am still looking. Almost thought I found an NOS one....but it was shorter, for a Special I guess.
Any help?

Northfield Forming seems to make running board matting, I need the stainless steel trim on the edge.
Thanks
Tightening rear shackle nut on '49 Hudson sedan

Yes , I have posted it there. Response was that there could be a tool machined to help install it, since it was made from a 1/2” bar of steel, I would assume the shackle was left 1/2” away from frame and not bottomed out.
But that is just an assumption on my part and all I can go by until someone with specific knowledge can help me.
Even RareParts who sold me the shackle didn’t know of a specific tool....
