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:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

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!)

I am a novice when it comes to early Fords. I am building a project that needs two front hubs that will be exposed and chromed so they need to be correct. here is a picture of the hubs I need. I need another one to go with this one. Does anyone know what it came off of and does anyone have one they can spare?

The number on the hub is 01A110661. As usual pretty tough to make out casting numbers on cast iron.

That is not a valid hub part number. O1A would indicate years 41-48. The number you have given would be in the starter motor category. You are right about trying to decipher numbers on old cast iron. Trying to plate old, rough cast iron is very difficult, if possible at all.

The parts book doesn't show any hubs with the 1106 number, only 1105. But, here's a hub with numbers similar to yours but different appearance so there must be 1106's:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/40-41-42-FORD-MERCURY-front-hub-Flathead-1940-1941-1942-SCTA-32-Ratrod-Brake-/150876671782?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2320f34f26&vxp=mtr

If you can't find one to match yours you could get a couple of these new ones to put on:

I've attached the parts book listing of hub numbers in case it will help.

Here is a shot of the number. As I read it

01A1106-C1

Anyway, someone MUST have one of these with a trashed brake drum that they want to sell me!!!!!! Or if there are so many variations that it is impossible to match this one, some one MUST have a set of two with trashed brake drums they want to sell me!!!!! They must, they must I tell you!!!!!!!

I definitely don't want to use a reproduction hub. Your table lists the items as 'Brake Drum and Hub Assemblies' which likely have a different stocking number than the hub alone?

Do a search on ebay for it and if nothing comes up save the search and you'll get an email as soon as one is listed. I've got a lot of rare stuff that way. Waited months sometimes until someone listed what I was looking for.

Willys:

It would help a great deal if you revealed a little more about your project. Your sample hub is a 5-on-5-1/2" standard Ford hub. This lug bolt pattern with the same bearing bore was used from 1928-1935,and again from 1940-1948 or a total of 15 years. I'd guess your sample is of 1940 vintage, but could be much later. I have a pair of hubs machined out of 6061-T6 Aluminum that are dimensionally correct. These are not for sale, and I am only mentioning them due to the fact that this combination of bearing size and bolt pattern has been used for over seventy five years as a standard front hub in competition (oval track, dirt track racing, drag racing, land speed racing, ect..

Therefore to this old-timer, I don't see the compelling need of finding something of similar
part number, given the long production of stock Ford pieces, and the 3/4 century use of
similarly-dimensioned aftermarket racing parts. Functionally, the're all the same!
