  1. I was able to check all the boxes. I worked on the carburator linkage today so it will work properly. I had it put together before but it just didn’t seem right. Posted a help message and Brad stepped up to help with lots of pictures. Let me know what you think. I bought my truck from the original owner over 25 years ago and still working on it. Still working on the brakes. I’ll get it done one of these days. I hope everyone has as much fun as I had today.
  2. How did you determine the amount to be taken off the length of the brake pedal rod?
  3. Beautiful truck. Looks like high quality workmanship. Keep it up.
  4. My sister lives in Broken Arrow, OK. Not that it has anything to do with our trucks but I just thought it was interesting.
  5. Merle, yes he did stamp all the numbers for me. I think he did a great job.
  6. Thanks for the picture. As it turned out the holes were there, I just couldn't see them because of the dirt. The plate came in yesterday and it looks great. Steve at DCM Classics did a great job. Fast turnaround. Took me longer to find two screws the right size that look alike than it took to mount it. Thanks again for everyone's help.
  7. Thanks everyone. I'll let you know how I make out.
  8. The holes have been filled in. I’m hoping once I get the rough location I can pick at it until it reveals itself. Then I can drill it out and attach the replacement tag. Thanks for your help.
  9. I won’t waste your time with all the details but I had to order a replacement door pillar ID tag for my 52 3/4 ton truck. Can someone give me a measurement where the top hole is located?
  10. Welcome to the group. Nice looking truck. Looks like you have a good start. Many of the guys here have almost total wrecks to start with. Great bunch of guys in the group. For the most part everyone is very positive and helpful. If you plan on upgrading the master cylinder, go all the way and do a front disc brake conversion. Check out “Rusty Hope”. He has a nice setup and well engineered. He will provide you with all the information you need for the conversion. Good luck and send more pictures, we love pictures. Also, remember, the only dumb question is the one you dont ask.
  11. For those of you that might be interested in what your truck is worth. This was a very nice truck. I did not get a chance to see the under carriage. I have seen some of your trucks and there are a lot of them out there just as nice, if not better. Congratulations to the seller and the new owner.
  12. They are brand new rotors. This is the second attemp installing this kit. I had an older set of brackets that I tried to install, but I must have had them on backwards. Charlie sent me a new, updated set which is what I used. That’s the only reason there are some marks on the rotors, but they are smother than they look.
  13. I took some time to work on my brakes this weekend. I purchesed one of Charlie Akers kits a while ago and I am just now getting around to installing it. His kits are made and fit well. I test fit it before paint. I wasn’t able to complete both sides because paint drys soooo slow. I was able to complete the right side, paint on the left is still drying. Below are some pictures of the test fit and the last one is the completed work.
  14. Would it be possible for you to send me another picture of your dual carb linkage? I need to see all of it, front to back. Both carbs as well as the cable attachment. Thank you and merry Christmas, Jim.

      Good morning Jim.

       

      Here's a few more pictures.  If they don't provide what you're looking for let me know and I'll snap a few more.

       

      Merry Christmas!

      Hi Brad, 

      I know it’s been a while but I’m trying to get back to the task of getting this truck running. Can I ask you a favor? Can you tell me what the length of the linkage arm that is connected to the carburator? Mine doesn’t appear to be as long as yours. Mine also has a different end piece that is threaded on to the arm that attaches to the carburator linkage. Mine just don’t seem to be long enough.
