  1. My truck has the fresh air option, would be happy to share any info. Byron
  2. My Dad has told me that the Lumber Co. had Chevies, Fords and Dodge trucks, and that the Dodge was the best, Fords had a lot of clutch problems and the Chevrolet engines would not hold together under heavy use with their oiling system. On steep hills on the highway none of the trucks would always have enough power to make it over the top and with vacuum boosted hydraulic brakes on the truck and vacuum only on the trailers, stalling out and maybe killing the engine could be instant disaster they would tie a short log right behind the drive tires and drag it up the hill to have something to roll back on until a empty truck would come along and pull them to the top.

  3. My Dad drove that truck for Wright's Lumber prior to going in the Navy at the start of WW ll, he is still going strong and it's very interesting to get him started on good ole log hauling stories, it'a a wonder any of the drivers lived through the experience !! Byron
  4. Just set the stops for the maximum amount of "turn" without the tires rubbing on any of the suspension componets, there are so many variables with tire width, wheels etc. it would be hard to compare with another vehicle Byron
  5. Steve, I just went through the same problem, gauge was reading empty all the time with just a slight flicker when turning on the ignition, I checked the the ground and made sure the juice was getting to the sending unit, next pulled the unit from the tank and with two jumper wires grounded the base and connected the sending unit to the gauge wire and moved the arm by hand gauge and sending unit were working fine, just no float left in the old cork, I believe due to the alcohol that is now added to our fuel dissolving the shellac coating on the cork, good luck.

  6. I have used the lever method, pulling the spring down, I use mechanics wire and make a doubled loop of wire through the end of the chain and the end of the spring easy to cut out with wire cutters if it ends up in the inside of the sprng bracket.
  7. Do you need the housing that neck is pointing straight up or angled, I have one that is straight. pm me if interested Byron
  8. Thanks for the pictures Merle, wish I could have been there too!! Byron
  9. Thank you very much, I think I can figure it out. Byron
  10. After the rapid failure of my replacement dust covers I read some older threads here on the board and one suggested newer CV covers as a replacement - problem being the parts store only lists by application-no dimensions, does anyone have a part number ???? or better solution. Thanks Byron
  11. Merle, This is my year to miss the WPC national, too much happening on the home front, 4th of July and all that good stuff. Byron
  12. Restoration Specialties has the seal you speak of, called masticated rubber in their catalog.

    gaskets

    I noticed a thread here a few days ago, someone having problems finding manifold gaskets. I just purchased a set from Olsons Gaskets 360-871-1207 nice folks and fair pricing, the set sent to me was made by Fitzgerald and is a bit thicker with more of an original look than the last Felpro set that I used that has since failed, nothing like good old asbestos !! Merry Christmas to all.
  15. The fitting on the carburetor takes a push in type connector end on the wire, the hair pin clip is there to help lock it in place, same as the type used on the stop light switch.
