52 Merc, Folks,
Yes the dump works. I have had it up and down a couple times. I just hooked the power take off shaft up when we stabbed the engine and transmission in. It makes some noise, as the U joints are probably in bad shape. Haven't checked the oil in the pump / cylinder either. I do have a video on the first day we started the truck. This link might be the one?
Regards,
Chris

Chris, I just stumbled upon your thread. Congrats on finding a Ford truck! But it looks like you have room in your new shed for a 56!

abe, white 66,
Thanks this Old Ford truck has kept me out of trouble this summer. Just worked on it while I was resting. Still things to do. Have a pesky oil leak I am chasing on the rear. Going to try some thicker 40wt oil to see if that may help. Thrust may be worn in this engine?? Something I did not check when I put it together. I wanted to get it moving and this engine has done that for sure. Lot of Looks Lots of smiles!

Folks,
Working on the door glass and door repairs for accepting new glass.
Dovetail area to repair:
After:
Hinge pins are tough to get out on these too! They only come out ever 90 years:
Taking old glass out of the metal tracks:
Added new lacing to the radiator shell, this cushions the hood:
I did change out the brake peddle pads too. These came from Bob Drake:
Just got a care package from Snyder's today with parts for the engine rebuild!

Chris
