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.

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!)

First thank you for your input and keep it coming. I bought the bumper guards many many years ago and they were in a box with other small pieces for a 38 standard.
What I have found out so far is the 37 bumper was used on the 38 standard only it was turned upside down and the bumper bracket holes were relocated on the 38 standard. The 38 deluxe and the 39 standard used the same bumper guard but it is different than the 38 standard. The 37 Ford and 38 Ford standard bumper guards appear to be the same from the front but the back side differs due to the inverted shape of the bumper.
My question is the shape of the back side of the bumper guards I have such that they would be correct for a 38 standard see attached photo.
References I am using
V8 Clubs 1938 - 39 Ford Book page 5-5 shows 38 standard bumper
Lorin Sorensen's The Classy Ford V8 page 78 shows 37 Ford bumper
The Early Ford V8 As Henry Built it.

Again thank you for your input. Dave

38 Deluxe have a concave fillet on either side of the main convex vertical bar. The pictured
guards are Standard.

The ones in your pictures are either 1937 or 1938,
you can try installing, if you are able to mount with point down they are 1938 and if you can only mount with point up they are 1937,
The 1938 std and deluxe I believe are the same,also the 1939 standard might be also the same as 1938,
hope this helps 37RAGTOPMAN

HI
1938 bumber guards and 1937 look the same,
but the 1937 were mounted point up,the bolt was off centered to do this,
while the 1938 were mounted upside down compared to the 1937, and the bolt was off centered for this,
I had bought both while restoring my 37 and there is no way you can install 1938 on a 1937 in the right direction,
the bumber bar is the same, just the guards were different,
hope this helps,37RAGTOPMAN

Hi can anyone confirm that the bumper guards shown in the attachment are 1938 Ford Standard, I compared them to the photo on page 5-5 of the 1938-39 Ford book and I think 38 standard is correct I would like to list them but I do not want to mislead anyone. See photo attachment. Thanks
