Disturbed

geopcanuk were did you end up buying the welt from ?? I am installing my windshield this weekend ( I Hope)

haha disposable cars , you would think that, but the price you pay for a new car and the cost of general maintenance you can hardly think that its a disposable car . I've seen some pretty incredible (legit) repair bills in the last few years and its becoming more and more common .

it's called Red blue met but looks more like gray blue, it is a one shot put it on thick. being inside doesn't do it justice but i dont have a eye or imagination for this kinda thing i'm just polishing my turd hopin it looks good or decent when im done this is my first attempt at Body work and painting and im on a budget.

ok your right im a retard this is all i could find Weatherstripping and this TRUCK Welting body layout this I found interesting but alas it still is not what im looking for .. search return 0

"If you read the archives" is this what you mean by Archives archives or is there another one that I am not aware of ?? "VENT " ok now im lost my truck is a 1949 it does not have a vent and its not a pilothouse and I only have two pieces to go around the door one is for the door the other is for the door lower panel just at floor height.. sorry if I'm being a retard and all but i was just hope'n some one could point me in some kinda direction . I appreciate your help , THANKS here is a picture of my door

Thanks man. Yea I did hit the search function but only came up with 4 or so hits that didn't help much, when I get near a pc I will check again. Again thank you

ok i bought all the weather stripping for my 49 truck from a Local guy that sells steel along with a few other manufactures i did ask him for all the seal but i still think i am missing some and i also am missing how these things are installed, i got the windshield and rear window ok the side door windows seem to be a bit long not sure if i have to trim them or not , also the door seals not sure if they are supposed to be on the door or the cab . an input would be great thanks .

For the most part I repair everyday drivers but here is a couple of shiney ones I get every spring.

My mom lives in Madison if I catch u near her I'll disasemble your dodge lol i've been a profesional turd polisher for 25 years I'm hoping to retire in about 75 years but now this recession hit I may have to wait another 25.

They changed a wire located under your Master cylinder ,the sensor leaks brake fluid and can cause a fire . as far as the Toyota's are concerned I speculate that it is a software failure . They have so many safety's in place that if one part fails something else will check and keep things live all the time not to say that things can't go wrong but are unlikely but if it is man made it will break no doubt about that !

Hi guys i'm new here and wanted to thank you for this msg board it has been very help full, so has Merle and Tony WestOZ . I thought I would share with you guys my build. I can't restore it But I am hoping to bring it back to shiny . the body is in clean shape small amount of perforation in back lower cab and both front cab corners had been repaired at one time . I am hoping to have this done before summer has started but I know that's not going to happen.. this is how I got it last summer I know it has been stored in doors for at least 20 years. not bad but some one got putty silly and was throwing putty all over the truck so i've spent most the winter scrapping it off this is what it looks like now

Not sure about all antique auto insurance company's but up here they restrict you from driving the car unless you are going to the garage or to a auto show. READ THE fine PRINT !!!!!!!!!!!! insurance company's aren't out to help you or do you any favors .

Well I was going through another milk creat and found a second tag this one matches the ownership. So it is a 1949 for some reason he attached the 1950 tag to it, it is in better shape but not the right tag. Here is a picture of it.

There is several types of gasket on the market NAPA only offered the one to you ? you could even change the plug and get a rubber Oring plug type I find they work effectively . As far as reusing the oil nothing wrong as long as you keep it clean like every one is saying , as Greg G pointed out it is the impurities that kill oil , one such impurity is Acid from combustion. the longer the oil has been in the motor the more chance it will be a higher ph reading , hence why you should change it every 3 months or 3 miles regardless of if it sat in the garage for the winter or not. When I store my toys I drain and refill the oil when i bring them back out I drain and refill them again. (depending how much I care about them ) I am BIG on changing my oil my last truck had over 500K KM on it and still ran like a top and never twisted a wrench on that motor! not once ! in fact some dude is driving that truck still today ..
