mystery fiitting and bad pictures
lugnut123 replied to ggdad1951's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Since your working in that area of the engine nock out the old freeze plugs and replace them. Try to flush out the crud ( rust and sediment) that has settled between the cylinders in the water jacket. Chances are the freeze plugs are about rusted and close to pinholed anyway. good luck -

Could you take a cross flow radiator from about a 71 chevy and mount it sideways in my dodge and make it work. The fill side of your radiator would be on top . Will this cool ok??

Is the old water pump shaft the same length? maybe you can put a puller on the pump flange and scoot it out. -

Info.. needed on screw in wheel studs
lugnut123 replied to 51 Fargo's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Get some regular press in wheel studs and push them in from the insides. You mite have to drill the threads out some but that sounds the easyest. I haven't herd of any screw in studs. -
Use a puddy knife, spoon, screw driver Just getter done.

That's a butiful color. Put more pics up. That's going to be a show truck for shure. And with a LS1 it should run like a spriped a-- ape.

The pin holes in the tank means it's probly thin and will be hard to braze. Go to napa and get a epoxy patch kit. It is a simple epoxy and fiberglass cloth patch works great should be cheaper than a welder. good luck

Hi Hank. Water glass or liquid glass is sodium silicate. It's waater soluble and in sulution when it leaks out a pin hole in your radiator ir turns back to the solid state and plugs the hole. It kinda looks like a hard water stain on the radiator.

Take that truck and hang a maniquin arm out the front. That would look cool.

clean the area with muratic acid then solder . Or drain all your anifreezre out of it. Flush with clear water. run the moter and get it hot after filling with water. . Add water glass to it and let it curculate. After it seals replace the anti freeze. You can get water glass at your local pharacey.
