Just bought a decent Mono "Big T" assembled kit, and while it's not too bad (for $20!) it has some parts missing: really need the steering wheel, column and box, firstly.  Then the rear shocks, tho I can fab them.  Lastly, a fan.  I realize this may be a lost cause, but...

In that vein, I have that Mono big V-8 kit from my high school daze, and still need one chrome Stromberg-type two-barrel carburetor, and one finned chrome valve cover, if there is any chance those are also 'out there' looking for a good home!  I have a stock valve cover to swap, and a few other parts. Or??

If I can restore this T kit, I think I'll put a wooden floor in the bed, and display the big V-8 engine in it, same scale.  The 4-71 blower and six carbs would look great on the engine! 

Once again, thanks!  Wick

Well, I might find someone with those bits individually, if I keep searching.  Not with bated breath, tho!  Thanks, Bill!! Wick

Wick,

I found this stuff in my parts stash. If you're interested send me a PM.

The inner column is glued into the wheel hub that is separated from the rim so might require some surgery to extract it. Or you could re-glue the rim potentially.

If you have a photo of the finned valve cover and the Stromberg, there is a possibility I might have something.

I have a nice steering wheel but only  have the half of the steering column and box that attach the the frame. I have quite a bit of parts for the original Big Duece and Big T I am getting ready to post in the trade section. I will give you first shot but if you just need the steering wheel, it is yours free of charge or trade as several members here have helped me out
