Charles, Might that be a B1PW chassis? Didn't the PW model relate to Power Wagon, or 4 Wheel Drive?

That's a nice looking truck, Ed. You don't need to be ashamed to hang out with us.

That piece shouldn't even contact the tire. The tire goes up against the larger rear cross member.

I HOPE to be painting it this weekend. I have a little more clean up to do first, but if all goes well this week it'll be ready. That's the goal anyway. Once that's done I can set the engine and trans back in. I fired up my rebuilt engine for the first time this past Friday. (It purrs nicely) After that, brakes and body work. It's a long road, but at least I feel like I'm getting somewhere now. Merle

Here is a current photo from yesterday and (if it works) one from when I first got it home. It's a '50 B2C

I suppose I'll take the new forum out for a test drive with this question too. Near the rear of the frame, there is a small, U shaped, cross member. I believe it's only fuction is for the spare tire carrier. This piece is installed with the "U" up, so it fills with debris. Could this piece be installed with the "U" down without any adverse effects? As I see it, the only change would be to use a longer bolt for the tire hanger. At least that way it wouldn't be a 2" wide x 1" high x 4' long dirt tray anymore. Merle
