If the grille bars are the same as for a B2B and if they are Stainless I would be veryyyy interested.. Ok, just see the pics and see it is different.. ooppss

Thanks for the info, I will put it back in! Whats with the head gasked? It has a hole on the side ( were the water pump is) that seem to fit on the block, but when the head is on it , it pertrudes??

There was a lot of rust.. But now, its almost there.. new valves, new bearings,new cam stuff, new pistons,rings,timing chain...she'l be purring!

I got my stuff from http://www.rockauto.com

Hoi, I have removed the old one, and cleaned the block. Getting ready for assembly is the water distributer pipe essential or can I leave it out?

I am starting to look at B series colors but there is little choice!

It would be of great help to know what model truck / Car we are talking about...

JIMMY JOE BOB's NEW TRUCK: One day, Jimmy Joe Bob was walking down Main Street when he saw his buddy Bubba driving a brand new pickup. Bubba pulled up to him with a wide grin. "Bubba, where'd you get that truck?!?" "Bobby Sue gave it to me" Bubba replied. "She gave it to you? I knew she was kinda sweet on ya, but a new truck?" "Well, Jimmy Joe, let me tell you what happened. We were driving out on County Road 6, in the middle of nowhere. Bobby Sue pulled off the road, put the truck in 4-wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the truck, got out, threw off all her clothes and said, 'Bubba, take whatever you want'. So I took the truck!" "Bubba, you're a smart man!. Them clothes woulda never fit ya!" Have a GREAT day!

thanks all.. missed out on bidding so its recon my own carby.

Hi, On this link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110550146153&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT there is a carby for sale. My question is about the nrs... My carby is Carby2 (see photos) and the one for sale is Carby1. The nrs are different.. Can I use Carby1 with my 218 Canadian longblock? Cheers Ryan

thanks... I can go to sleep now with a calm heart..have a great day!

so, the other one that says 35 + etc is incorrect?

Please look at the pics, my amp gauge is different then other B2B .. mine is the light green older one, it says 50 - 0 + 50 is mine correct? I have a Dodge Fargo 1950 1/2 ton 108 (the same as B2B)

hear, hear.. great stuff Hank.

They both are colum shift, but as stated one has a larger drum that connects to the driveshaft, 7" inch . I was hoping to use the brake setup but they dont interchange because of size difference.

Can someone here explain the difference between the 2 gearboxes I have. One is a 1953 7" Inch Brake set up, that is the brake drum is larger then my 1950 gearbox set up....its smaller. Is this because the gearbox is different... 3 or 4 speed? and if so how do i find out what is a 3 or 4 speed?

Hi, on B2B front brake shoes adjustment i seen there is a special tool to adjust these. Can I adjust these shoes without this tool? For instance if I adjust them at the bottum first, say, turn the shoes to the outmost position, try the wheel drum on it and if free turning, then fasten the bolts? Or is to simplistic thinking? I feel it really does't make a differents because the shoes are adjusted from the top adjusters until they hit the brake drum anyway.. What purpose have the bottom oblong settings ??

Hey, welcome... it looks like you have the same truck as me.. only mine is a ute (utillity) Australian ..Have you got any pics? Have a look at my pics in my profile cheers

I used to have a panel shop (body shop) and one day got hooked on restoring vintage cars so, rather then doing crash work I concentrated on anything old. But then life changed, I went from panel beating to working with street kids, ended up running a boys home for a while and became a foster parent. At the same time I went back to college and became a Counsellor and started working for Government welfare agencies as an intensive support worker. Besides working in that industry, I also bought an old Motel and together with my 2 sons and wife set up a Cafe and Function centre. I think it may have been a little to much because everything changed when in 2007 I got a double stroke. It flattened me and had to learn to walk again, my speech and thinking was all over the place. It totally stopped me working in a stressful environment such as working with abused kids. I became depressed as I got written off; I even got a pensioner card! I AM 56! Well, luckily we only had one foster child left and today he turned 18 and soon is going to leave us. I still have the Motel but closed down the Cafe and Function centre. As part of my healing / therapy someone suggested a vintage car restoration project and voila, here I am... I am loving it! Doing physical work and organising parts gave me a renewed interest in life and a purpose to carry on. The picks are from the truck arriving and the total strip I am doing..

ok, loud and clear....NO! Thanks
