Nice...Ernie in Arizona

Good afternoon Kevin...You might consider looking up a truck brake shop even if it is a fair trot away...they are more likely going to be able to do the work and be willing to help...Ernie in Arizona

Good afternoon...It sounds like the key teath have been figured out...Ace Hardware has the blank...I've had a few made at ACE...Ernie in Arizona

Good Afternoon...At that price, you can do quite a bit of work and still not be upside down! If upon complete inspection, the underside is only a ball of rust...you can make back your investments using it has a parts car...Often the Packard Gods will smile on you for taking the time and effort to save yet another old girl from the fate of becoming a Toyota!

Good Morning...The Model A Floor Board Bolts are 12/24 and about an inch long with a finishing washer...Ernie in Arizona

Good afternoon...I agreeded with Don but figured 'What the hell' Ernie in Arizona

Amen! I went out to the garage and asked Miss Prudence what she thought...she just giggled! Ernie in Arizona

Good Morning...You might consider sending a private message to Owen...He has been driving a 34 since the 1960's and he has written extensively regarding oil for old Packards...Ernie in Arizona

Good afternoon...Miss Prudence and I got a wild hair and took off for breakfast at a little place down the road called 'Over Easy'. Prucence had a good outing and charged up her battery and I had two saussages and one pancake oh and a couple of cups of coffee...all in all, a great way to start the day...I used to meet David Packard...but I don't think that he is back on the road yet.

Good Morning...We had a similar problem on a non-Packard the other day and we drilled two small holes in the exterior sliding tube, about 18 inches apart, and put in a dirbble of Automatic transmission fluid and Aceatone...after half an hour, we could begin to move he shaft a bit...in another hour the outer shaft was sliding over the inside shaft nicely...Ernie in Arizona
