  1. Made 1948 to 1990. Are different ! (But its French) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroën_2CV
  2. What part moves _ loose_worn out? Part L Y
  3. On ebay from time to time. And NW transmission parts for synchro's. Transmissions 1940 to 1950 have many common parts. The synchro~drum may be gone. On pg 65-A items a, b, c & e wear out. Also check the engine & torque tube rubber mounts. (rough clutch & into 3rd) Link --> https://forums.aaca.org/topic/254772-39-buick-clutch-removal/ Use a clutch pack for a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee 6 Cyl.
  4. Maybe Diamond T based. Some but not 100% commonalty. Looks to be a heavy chassis 10-20 T? More details of the engine would help. https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo/diamond-t-truck.html?sortBy=relevant
  5. From a private message InsiderTrader sent me. Others will know more and be able to answer
  6. That orange fuel hose looks far too close. Like above metal would be safer. The tube carb to distributor is vacuum advance for the carb. Carb looks brand new. If it runs all is good.
  7. Google search for "Northwestern Motor Co. JG-40-FK" brings up a photos of the beast. I like it ! https://www.antiquetractorsforum.com/threads/1961-northwestern-motor-co-jg-40-fk-pictures.24937/
  8. http://www.tuckerclub.org/tuckers/tucker-1017/
  9. Not in Australia. Was the local GM Holden, locally made UK based Austin, Vanguard and various Japanese brands utes in Australia. But did find a reference to be assembled in South Africa (right hand drive). Some unusual odd ball bakkies/utes/pickup made in RSA based on cars. From Flickr And http://oldtimerphotography.de/opel/opel-rekord-p2-pick-up/
  10. Got a photo? Serial number? But the numbers can be changed You may have a later engine.
  11. My understanding is Dave Haywood (Oracle) passed away some years ago (April 2012). No profile for "Guest Oracle" as no recent posts. I have done a google search for that book, but looks not to have been formally published (could be wrong!) A very knowledgeable gentleman https://www.gmhistory.chevytalk.org/General_Motors__History_by_Davi.html He did post in 2011 in https://forums.aaca.org/topic/159231-buick-built-in-london-uk/ From another thread in 2011 Post by Oracle 2006
  12. Do you have a photo of the dash (if any)? Front wheels and/or suspension?
  13. In the last ~90 years any AC fuel pump that fitted could/would have been installed when the original failed, as they all do eventually. The rocker arm of the "new" fuel pump may be different to the original. AC fuel pump images (from internet). Not model specific
  14. Series 40 (not 50), but still general guidance https://buick.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/1934/1934 Series 40 Shop Manual/page1.html Series 50 https://buick.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/1934/1934 Series 50-60-90 Shop Manual/ https://buick.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/1934/1934 Series 50-60-90 Shop Manual/page1.html AC fuel pump images (from internet) in the other thread. Not model specific The other thread--> https://forums.aaca.org/topic/412382-fuel-issues-on-a-1934-series-50/
  15. USA GM cars of this era a fabric roof insert. Not a "sun roof". Other images on this car I have show what looks to me to be the normal GM fabric insert. Not unusual for the fabric to be replaced by steel~aluminium sheet some time. Or does it really have an operable UK style sun roof? 1936 was the first year of all metal roof. Have doubts on built/assembled in the UK. More likely fully imported. In the last ~90 years any AC fuel pump that fitted could/would have been installed when the original failed, as they all do eventually. The rocker arm of the "new" fuel pump may be different to the original. USA cars in UK of this era often have different front lighting, due to local laws. As the small side fender(~wing) lights.
