got the windsheild done ,put some urethane on the top and behind the divider bar. filled transmission with with 220W oïl.got the Hood latch painted ,but i think paint was to thinned. forgot to take a picture but after 3 coats the edges would not cover up. warmed up the motor for maybe 10 minutes and had prestone coming from 2 head studs. not sure how i will adress this! still waiting on my driveshaft to be made.
got her home today. drive shaft is installed with 3 new joints,hanger bearing is rebuilted. pulled the headstuds and put sealer on the treads. removed the coolant,and filled with water i was told it will stop any other studs from leaking. water will make corrosion and stop water from following the treads i,m told. i had rebuilt my carburator 6 years ago,and it sat dry for 2 years. it ran ok 2 years ago but i never went on the road. i know the trottle shaft is wore ,it backfires when i want to accelerate. i can only Feather the gas to move truck. i think i will need a new carburator to do better road test or field test in my case ! no pictures forgot my camera,i got no cell phone. planning oh doing my seat over the summer,and maybe replacing carburator !
jeez time goes by quick! i was planning to drive it around the farm a bit ,didn,t have any time! i went to montreal a few weeks ago and got some grille bars,a good bumper and a few odds and ends. i,m still missing the middle one. i f anyone finds or has a spare i could be interested. i looking into carburators ,they seem plentyful new. theres alot of cheap chinese stuff anything to Watch out for! or would sending mine for a rebuilt a better ideal. wife took a picture of me at the scrap yard,he had 2 trucks they were in a pityful shape.
Bernette... Whatever you are doing, you are doing it right. Like you I have seasonal times when I just can't get my hands on the project no matter what.
been doing some little stuff, getting my grille bars straighten slowly. still missing the middle one with the crank hole.
got to use truck i,m redoing my pavers.
Nice work on the grille bars. I had one heck of a time installing that middle bar in the windshield of my truck. Getting the screws started in the outer piece was very frustrating and I know I said a lot of bad words.
hi joe ! i know what you mean about the middle bar, i ended up stripping the treads in the bottom hole. i found a longer screw and used a washer.you would think it should of been easy!
are you using your truck .

Not using the truck yet. The dump bed is at a fab shop having a new floor and sides put in. Im hoping the bed is done soon so I can get it installed and get this project finished up. Take care.
