Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

I would like to get a set of Standard rod bearings for my 1937 120 NOS or Nors. What I've found so far requires re-sizing the rod, I'd really like to avoid that if Possible.

Thanks for any help or ideas.

No problem - just need address where to send them. How about $75 plus 12 for USPS priority mail? NOS Packard or NORS Federal Mogul. Yes, early style - no need to resize rods. Will confirm with posted photo tomorrow....too late to open up the warehouse, but I am 99.9% sure I have a set. DAF

It really is amazing what you have on hand flackmaster!

Confirmed FM 9345 SB set of 8. Confirmed by my notes, and by OD comparison to archive set of .002's. 2.200 is the early style you seek. Can do.

As for what I have on hand, thank you for noticing. I spend thousands of dollars per year buying parts on the internet, and traveling to swap meets to buy parts. Being a resource is a joy and a curse. I am NOT in business. I do this because I enjoy it and I am good at it. I bring parts to ONE swap meet a year, Salado. Last year I brought LOTS of parts, good, rare, hard to find and heavy parts such as starters and generators. Total Salado sales last year....$161. And I had to buy Eric lunch for babysitting parts with me. I'm not complaining (too much), but it illustrates the futility in being a swap meet vendor. I am not hard to find if you are seeking pre-war parts...but I rarely, if ever, get calls during the year from local/Salado guys. Stepping off soap box...

David,

I recall selling a lot at Salado, over the years. Even to local Packard resale people! I think I sold something to BigKev too.

David,

I'll certainly be in touch as I start lining things up on my project.

Indeed, you sold me that bumperette crossbar for the front grille. I still have it ready to go on the car once it comes back from paint.

Flackmaster & All,

Thanks for the help I found them at Max Merritt, the early style so don't have to rework the rods.

Glad you found them, they aren't awfully hard to find, unless you need an odd size, then sometimes it can be frustrating since this early style has not been reproduced.

Before this thread dies, any one else out there who needs these now that I have pulled them out? Fifty bucks plus postage...
