Wow!!! That is a sharp calendar that you've put together. Those of you who print it off will really have something to display. The cars look absolutely great.

I just go to the local parts store and buy a 5 gallon can of cleaning solvent. I keep a small amount in an empty plastice Folger's can for cleaning small parts.

I could only get to the bobby bobcat.

Those look nice to me.

The spare tire carrier that was sidemounted on mine had a plate bolted through the top angled part of the box side and was welded to the original carrier piece that stood verticle to hold the tire. Then a piece of iron was bolted to the running running boards and bolted to the bottom part of the original tire carrier. It spread out the weight between two points far from each other.

Welcome to the site. Wow, what a huge chunk of cast iron!!! That will really be impressive when you get it cleaned up and painted no matter what vehicle you put it in.

When I first bought my truck someone had taken the plate that the tire lays on under the truck and modified it for a sidemount. I plan on putting one back on the same way because a lot of farmers had them that way when I was growing up and they're much easier to get too. When I ever get it done I'll submit a picture.

It looks like my '52 also. -
I just caught part of a movie the other night and it briefly showed a Pilothouse but I can't remember who was in it.
-
Lee, I'll let you answer thedahmer's question but, instead of this guy selling his truck, we should get him to join the Pilothouse club. I see there's a new member next door to you in Johnston.

Great story. Thanks for blazing the trail for the rest of us.

Looks like no one is challenging your comment Bob so you must be right!! lol

It's appeared to me that there aren't as many posts. Last winter there were always quite a few threads going at the same time.

What is engine compression braking?

Battery cable connection locations???

I believe my positive is bolted to the transmission. -
I like the selection there. Does anyone know if it's close to Sioux Falls? The town sounds familiar to me but could just be a coincidence.
-
It looks like you're ready for a "Most Wanted" poster!!
-
I've been looking around, but, what is the POC forum?
-
It's a couple of hours away so I'll try to get the information and take some pictures over the holidays. (note to self: remember the camera, remember the camera!!) The truck came from a cousin in the Chino, CA area (he has a huge vegetable farm), I think. It's painted a very ugly yellow and the box is short-sided like you see on highway dept trucks.
-
Thanks for the info and great pictures. My dad has a 40 or 41 dump truck that looks like it had been used for a highway dept. I don't know what the tonnage size is on it. I'm thinking it's 2 1/2 ton. It needs a lot of work so I don't know if he'll ever get it done.

If your crank is grooved a little bit from where the seal is riding on it, buy a redi-sleeve from CR Seals (there may be other brands also). It slides right in between the seal and the crank and insures against leaks and more wear on your crank.
-
I'm coming over from the Pilothouse side and am wondering if someone could give me the short version of the pickups from '46-'48. I was thinking the truck models were alike from about '39 until they changed in '48, but your forum says '46-48. They must have had a short run of something after the war, huh? Thanks.
-
Good idea!! I've never thought of giving my truck some flowers!!! But what if my wife finds out? Seriously, very cool picture.
-
Wow!!! That's awesome Merle. Some more for my collection.
-
Very nice truck, Jim. Jealousy abounds!!!
