ford gpa g504

Does anyone have, in no particular order of priority: 1. Specs or dimensioned drawings for the GPA muffler (GPA 5230); 2. Info that the GPA muffler was the same as another off-the shelf muffler manufactured for Ford vehicles in the early 1940's and thus available from sources for such vehicles; 3. K...

Joe Hall made up a wiring harness for me. He did a very nice job, and got it to me quickly, to boot.

Can you put me in touch with the gent that makes up the mesh grills. They're missing from my "new " GPA. I have also figured out that the tank in GPA 3936 is a poorly done copy. Does anyone have a source for a proper reproduction (it being clear from this string of postings that a good old...
