Progress pics I guess

Last piece of thepuzzle is out
So I guess I'll be able to start wire brushing/painting the 1946 1/2ton frame next weekend.
But here's my motor unseized but I tokk her apart for new gaskets etc.

Yes it finally came out at 10pm late at night.

That`s a good start Ryan. What all else do you have to do to this motor before putting it back in?

Looking good man.

Why do you have your hoist chained up to your truck?

Because I'm a lazy truckdriver... Dad has solid metal caster on the hoist about 1-2 inches wide works perfect on cement but in soil or gravel, it'll take a horse to pull it out the 5 feet youneed to clear the truck.

I'm thinking I'm going to put in new gaskets, valve job, points, carbkit. I guess I'll see what Keith says about bearings but I'm not going to be puttting on too many miles.

Since buying the new truck I gotta keep it dirty so city folk know I'm still a country boy.
