The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Hey Don,
Wow, that is a great pic of lots of wood. I see that they do assign p/n's to all the wood pieces. I have been looking for excuses to take a trip there.
Thanks for sharing the info and picture.

Greg, I found a wood layout photo of a 36 panel delivery in the Benson Ford Research Center years ago. It came from Accession # 1660 Box 57. There may be similar photos for your sedan delivery in that grouping. The photo was nice because it gave individual part numbers for each piece of wood. Once you have the part numbers, you can look up each individual piece. Here's my photo of a 67-820 panel delivery.

ps If you are going to the Grand National V-8 Meet in June, you could slip over to the Archives and take a look.

Thanks 40 Coupe.
We do have a woodworker's source shop in town. I bought some maple from them awhile back and duplicated some simple pieces. I will see what they can do for me.
Part of my wanting the p/n's is to complete some documentation I am doing. I find it fun to track down the p/n's of as many parts I can find and, along with photos of the parts, and paste them into a pdf.

The wood you show in your photo looks very good if you need to replace some it is amazing what a CNC router can do. The computer technology is amazing. Stop by your local woodworkers store and inquire. Often times the employees own their own equipment and will do projects for customers.

Thanks Tom.
I have the 37 Body Parts List book and it does not show/list any of the rear wood pieces.
It's a long trek for me to go to Dearborn (I am in southern Arizona), so a road trip is not on the agenda.
I will give Roy a call (he is well known for restoring a 37 Sedan Delivery), and has been helpful in the past for answering various questions.

I don't have a 37 Body Parts Catalog, but the 1940 Catalog doesn't show anything that would look like P/N for wood parts except for a roof bow.

The Henry Ford archives may have the drawings that you need, but remote research is expensive and when they find a drawing of a part, it costs $30 for a copy of the drawing.

My first option would be to contact Roy Nacewicz to see if he has the dimensions that you need and my second option would be to visit the archives in person and do your own research.

Before doing the second option, I would talk to Gary Mallest to get information of how to do the research at the archives. You don't have part numbers, so you will have to have a plan to get the part numbers, so you can see the drawings. Gary may be able to help you with this and if he cannot, will be able to tell you if it would be worth the trip.

My experience has been that if you have part numbers, you can do the research easily and you can have the drawings available for your research on the days that you plan to visit. If you don't have the part numbers, you will have to make more than one visit with at least a couple of weeks between the visits.

Hello,
My 37 Sedan Delivery has a fair amount of wood in the rear interior. Aside from the floor and quarter panel frame structure, there are some wooden cross members.
Question: do these wood pieces have Ford part numbers? If so, where can I get that information? Dimensioned drawings would be awesome to have also, but that is pretty remote.
Thanks,
Gregg
