FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

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:

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!)

Older post I know and I'm sure you've got everything taken care of, but I just wanted to say that pickup is beautiful!

I would suggest you get the proper Carb. for your vehicle rebuild and not the Stromberg. Originally the vehicle had a Holley or Ford 94 Model 91-99 Charlie Schwindler in NY is the rebuild person for this Carb and may be able to supply a proper core as well as rebuild, see the club rooster.

Btw, anything over 2.5 psi fuel pressure will force fuel past the needle and seat in the carb and give you a very rich idle. Also will push excess fuel past the rings and dilute your oil. If you are going to use an electric pump you need a pressure regulator and gauge.

I would be interested in that truck if you ever want to sell it. Are you interested in a 61 Chevy Bubbletop with a 409, dual quad, four speed?

If you live in Olympia , Washington and are a V-8 Club member , use your roster and look for club members near you and call them. They may be able to help or give you names of others to help. There are many members in Washington. In fact you can access some of the Washington Clubs in the left hand menu of this site. Go to Regional Club Directory and then scroll down to Washington. Open that page and you will see four regional groups with phone numbers of the presidents. I'm sure one of those groups is near Olympia. BTW that is one nice '40 pickup.

For carb parts or repair if your truck does have a Stromberg Uncle Max is your man.

Next question, are you sure its a Stromberg and not a Holley? If its a Holley then Daytona Carburetor for a carb kit.

Another option if its a Holley is to send it to
Charlie Schwendler
716 662 9159.....cas5845@yahoo.com
He rebuilt the Holley 94 on the 8ba I have in my '39 p/u and it runs like new.
Good luck getting your truck running.
