Been awhile since I've been on, sorry . Anyway, she got new shoes.

 

 

They say "rust never sleeps"

 

Replc distributor cap..rotor..coil. Modified a radiator/washer fluid reservoir to fit..Bought a new ignition control mod....as backup..
86' f150 xlt lariat 351. Runs great..Don't have a good pic of it, but here is one of our 49' ford wheat truck..

 

Is that an older picture from years ago or not to long ago? Cool either way
I guess it's not far to the grain mill?

Probably in the 50s'. A snapshot from the 'home movies' dvd...

Mill was 5 - 10 miles away..depending on the field we were in...I was probably 8 or 9 then, and not that much long was driving and double clutchin to my hearts content..

 

Is that for your van?

 

I did not think you would still be using it today but never know for old time sakes. Still vary cool.

I think he has a van/chassis motor home because there was talk of cutting an access hole in the floor for the electric fuel pump.

Been a long time...the more I think about it that may be a 46'...Anyone have a better understanding of this ?

Chris, I think you got msg mixed up. The 46 he was talking about was the grain truck in the picture. At first he thought it was a 49.

Yeah, I was thinking about the gas tank for some reason.

 

A few weeks ago I saw a leak from the radiator of my project so I used the pressure tester and found it coming from the lower hose nipple into the tank.

So today being it is getting colder and I still had water in the cooling system of my project and the leak I drained it.
Well just before I drained it I look the radiator over a little better and found 3 tube by the tank and 1 in the center.
So looks like I am going to need a new radiator

I need a radiator, an engine, rear drive shaft, throw out bearing, clutch fork, battery, bell housing. Those are things I dont even have. Oh, yes....and a bed. May be more, that is just all I know of. Then there are the things I need to replace...It would be easier to just say what is sound. (or at least what I THINK is sound)

 

Gray, It sounds like you need to buy another truck and maybe use yours for parts LOL
I kind of knew what my truck needed and why I bought my parts truck at the same time.
