I intend to put a stake body on it. I just cut the stuff off and scrapped it. It's a lot of work but is "easy". Now I have a newly installed hydraulic hoist on it and am waiting for the money to put a repro stake body like the originals used.

They use Colonial White #8103 in acrylic enamel, single stage urethane, or basecoat/clearcoat. Good luck.

I was just wondering if there was enough interest for parts to make this worth while. The truck is in Alberta. Scott ===================== Hello Scott. I would be interested in a set of 16" wheels, the front splash pan (behind the front bumper and below the grill), a steering wheel in good condition, jack and tools, plus headlight assembly with rims, and taillights. Oh, door handles and hardware too if they're in good shape. Probably some other stuff too. Right sun visor? I'm in Virginia...

Will a 1952, 215ci straight six manifold be the same as a 223ci manifold? And are the carbs for the 215 and 223 the same and/or would they take the same gaskets? Would like to hear what you guys think about this, as I don't know too much about the inline 6's.

I did mention that I neutralize the rust with Rasonil... It is a product that is very much the consistancy of green water but it converts rust to a hard and neutralized material. Just don't get it wet. It is a metal preparation that serves as a good primer that can be sanded and paint adheres very nicely. But,.. I can appreciate your observation about pleated areas or spot welds. I chuckle inside reading about your Midas friend. I too found that my metals rusted very quickly upon taking them out of the acid.... but, just like when you have them dipped I've noticed it is a two to three chemical processs to neuralize. Make note of that.. and never forget it!! But, I can picture in my mind his shock for sure!! haha! BTW... I flush off the acid with water and dry the part before applying the Rasonil. I hope I didn't confuse anyone. For those interested the product Rass-O'-Nil is made by International Chemical Products, Inc PO Box 4246, Huntsville, AL 35815-4246 USA. As it says on the bottle: Chemically changes rust into a high-performance, corrosion resistant primer-coating. Environmentally Safe, Non-flammable and Water Soluable. One Step Metal Priming. Prevents Creeping of Rust. I bought one gallon via the internet about a year ago... I recall it to be approximate $80-90. It works very nicely and has a pleasant smell to it. I just must warn that you have to keep it from being exposed to water once coated otherwise it will rust. That's the one drawback that I observed it has. But,... I've found that every product has some drawback. But, if you paint it you solve that problem. Good luck guys. > From: "Terry" > Subject: Re: small parts cleaning > Date: Sat, 15 Apr 2000 21:42:41 -0500 > I remember when an owner of a Midas Muffler shop realized how well muratic > acid cleaned surface rust.

(I was considering the same thing) He had put a '56 body on a late 80's Explorer frame. After talking a while it came out that he 'had' it done and couldn't give me a lot of detail about body mounts, drive train, etc... but it can be done. He took it to the dealer for service !!! You might look in that era Explorer and do some measurements.. john ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 20:44:16 -0500 From: JeffH Subject: Re: Modern Chassis It shouldn't be too hard to find articles in back issues of magazines on old trucks, covering an old-truck-to- new-chassis mating.
