Rebuilding my 39 model Six steering box. Any chance you have the PN's for seals and bearings?

Thanks

In process of replacing the trunk pan of my 39 Six. Any words of wisdom or suggestions would be much appreciated. This is a flat pan replacement, does not go up any sides
Thanks !

Turned out to be a very simple fix. Drilled out 3 rivets sandwiching the assembly top & bottom. Look at photos, rheostat was cruddy and pick up contact slightly corroded. Cleaned both with a good quality contact cleaner, and since I did not have any flat rivets ( and the surface mates with the top of the tank) sweat soldered the two plates together in 4 places. Seems to work great on bench now with ohmmeter

Having difficulty loading images, both under 25K jpgs

1939 Packard Fuel Tank sender

Anyone have any experience with repairing a sending unit? Became intermittent, definitely the sender. Have tank and sender out of car for different reason. Put ohm meter on ground flange and sensor output, can watch resistance bounce, frequently to 0 ohms

Don't see an "easy" easy to open it up

Have feelers out to a couple places for quote to repair, would entertain a new one if I could find it reasonably priced

Has the switch you mentioned first, a simple N.O. DPST.
Simple to service, just be cautious of bending the tabs and be certain to unsolder the top contact from the case before opening

Many thanks to you for all the explanation of this OD. Learning a lot, my plan is to take all this info and the two manuals I have and generate a logical schematic.
OD works, did have that problem where it didn't and w/o schematics, plodded through the wires and switches and found the OD switch wasn't working, took it apart (CAUTION to anyone that tries, the 4 metal tabs break easily and the contact near the top is soldered in, se need to be unsoldered before opening). I found a dirty contact and carefully burnished it. Then I found the relay wasn't working and took it apart. at one time, it had a lot of water and everything was corroded. Cleaned it up and all works fine now

Certainly you guys are all providing truthful information, just trying to figure out exactly what I have here and how it works.
The part of the puzzle that is missing is how does the solenoid get its hold in power
