I was just excited to see you guys. I'm crossing my fingers for April 2021. Linus. At $1075. I'll welcomed my ups driver to do donuts in my lawn ??

Welcome. I think you will find with time and a little patience the wealth of knowledge on this forum. Using the search option, you'll find several decades of knowledge. Plus, as I'm sure you've noticed already the willingness of all us to help with any questions. Welcome aboard.

I used to work for UPS. You can record a complaint at your local hub. It will go on the driver's record. I found that many of these drivers should not be behind the wheel of these large trucks.

I got mine from Andy Bernbaum ( The right side are the new ones if you can't tell)

Ready to Start the Engine Build (what am I missing)?

I marked my pistons so I put the connecting rods in the proper order with the oiling hole to the front

I hope not to belabor the point. The stand will support the installation of crank, rods, pistons, valves and timing gears. All the that require accurate measurement. You have to take it off the stand to put the fly wheel and bell housing on anyway. Build a rolling stand and build the rest of the engine on it. No weight problems.

It will work just fine. Once I got the oil pan on. I swapped it to a hand made stand to put the flywheel and all externals on

Stayed a week in Troncones Mexico last Thanksgiving. A small village just north of Zihuatanejo. I would give a small body part to be there for the rest of this year...and maybe through 2021

Here is another how to video. -
I'm stoked to see you out rolling with the family. Keep the pictures coming. Still curious about the carburetor setup.

It is on top, not the side of the tab. It is sometimes very faint. You may need to wet it to see

On a 25" engine, you will find the number stamped on top of the tab indicated by the arrow

Great color. Those headlights look sharp!

I'm curious how you are fairing with the new carburetor. I read that Langdon suggests that you have a heated manifold. Is that something you incorporated with the new carburetor?

I had to evacuate my vehicles down to a friend's house due to the fires near my house. Fortunately, after a week, the fire has been contained enough to where we and my junk can return home

Here's an add I found a few years ago at the flee market

Well...I hope you get it just so I can watch your documentation and videos of it's restoration and cruising down the road.

That's seems like a very reasonable quote. You may try to ask the machinist if you can source your own parts. It may safe you money.
-
Glad you're ok. Now you got a hell of a story you can tell.
-
Great picture. What kind of tires are those? I like the way they look.

https://www.vintagepowerwagons.com/ Please check out vintage power wagons if you haven't already. Much of the B series truck parts are interchangeable. I believe there a mentions of power wagons in my B series shop manual. Good luck. I am sure many of us are eager to see your progress.
