Firstly, apologizes for 1st post... have found out FireFox is not allowing editing to messages as does Explorer.

But here we go :

Found this 5 miles north of home

Found this 1936 Nash sedan chopped into a pickup sitting a top 1926 Star

The rails , front axle & wheels, rad , engine and transmission are Star but the rear end and hubs & wheels are Nash. Engine is step 9 7 26

The honeycomb Star radiator found has proven "good" now I will have honeycomb type radiator inner core in lieu of Grandpa's 1928 chev inner rad.

Also picture of my Star with the Peace River in the background and at Heritage Days besides the UFA (1920"s) service station.

Do You own a car built by Durant? 1926 Star Durant

It is absolutely amazing what people used to do to get something up and running.
It would really be great if a section of this web page could be organized to document the various alterations we've come across in Star and Durant cars. Maybe even other makes if unusual enough. I think I could come up with a few pics.

Where Are You From? Texarkana, Tex

So I need some help dating what I have found.

Firstly, Don Shilling forget your steering box comment, the steering box used on Star/Nash was the Nash's.

Points :
0. Head is stamped as Sept 1926
1. Exhaust port is at front of engine.
2. Has a dipstick (in lieu of cork and wire)
3. Fan & Crank pulleys are for a V-belt
4. Distributor is made of steel and not pot metal and condenser is on outside of distributor.

The rad cover emblem says "Durant Six", although its a 4 cylinder so I do realize this car may be a collection of Durant cars along with Nash (1936) components....
