pflaming

This is what I use. I will burn out FAST if run dry. Possibly better ones available, I just happen to pick this on. This installation needs some tweaking, for example the lines are only temporarily held to the frame and the pump needs a rubber cushion. Direct mount will shorten its life.

Maybe I should not tell on Casper 50, but I'm too jealous to keep quiet. Today and for the next fifteen (15) days, he and his hunting partner are floating / camping and hunting for moose on a river 50 miles north of Fairbanks Alaska. This is their fourteenth annual hunt. I wish them safe sailing and a successful hunt. What they shoot and kill they must draw and quarter and carry out. I suggested this person as a potential hunting partner, but Casper was not convinced she'd could help carry out the meat.

Update:: 1) the tail pipe is correctly routed, no issues with the fuel tank, 2) I mounted the electric fuel pump this morning. I wanted it up closer to the tank but once the body is on, accessibility changes. I believe as long as it is close to and below the tank all is well. I still need to put a rubber cushion between the pump and the frame. I fully realize that my progress is at a snails' pace, but I have a turtle mentality!

Question: if my driving varies in altitude, 5000 ' does points distributer compensate for such dramatic elevation changes?

This morning I finished the rear brake drums. It took ne a bit to realize there was a spring loaded shoe adjustment. DUH! So nuch detail to learn and know

When I started driving my truck, pre shop fire, I mounted a Gerry can on the running board and ran a fuel line to a "T" in the fuel line with a diversion valve. I never ran out of gas. I shouldn't have told the cat!

I stopped to photograph this truck. It has a similar exterior. Both are eye catching trucks .

The hum of a flat head on a long run is like music. Love it?

Merle, or the armadillos!!!LOL

Ops

Does Columbia records still make records for this player? Where do you find one, or do your customers provide the unit?

This I have never seen.

I do not recall how to clean out my message box

I will check that out. It may be too far to center, but I think this where it was.

New rear axle bearings, seals, cylinder kits, brake line to axle housing, and now the exhaust pipe and muffler. It's ready for the body bac on. I am aware that many of you are very efficient so that this is hardly a days work, but for me, not so. Did I route the pipe correctly or should it be close to the frame. Nothing is welded, so to change not a big deal now.

Repurposing is vogue these days. Chrome rims were not stock!

You might consider: 1) use the trailer for a special car garage, 2) lengthen the frame on the tractor, put a nice bed on it and now you have a usable truck to sell or keep. Stake trucks have many uses, thus more potential buyers. You couldn't give me a semi, but a stake truck is different, a perfect classic car hauler for guys whose trucks break down enroute to Tim's BBQ.

This tool / instrument is incredible. My drums were perfect and shoes quickly came into adjustment.

This was my first shifter based on the one above. It worked, though crude, but I abandoned it when I realized it would not fit on an R10 overdrive. The parts for my new shifter which which works equally well on the stock THREE sped or the BW R 10 Overdrive will go to the machida today. Once i have one on my Suburban and working consistently, I want to place four units to four different situations. I already have one committed to Massachusetts.. pM me if interested for details.

My new design works on a three speed and or an overdrive.

I mocked one up like that but trashed it. That design won't work on an overdrive transmission.

Tim, you points are well taken. Before the truck goes east, she and I will have a detailed discussion on what she expects, wants, and can be done. At present it is only a very rough reconstruction job to make it useful to me.

Tim I fully concur with you in that the metal inside and outside, between bolted on fenders, etc to be fully preserved all metal surfaces must be cleaned, etc. Where we disagree is that pigmented paint is not the only protective final surface. The body on My truck, for example, should be pretty much dismantled and fully cleaned, rust neutralized, then protected. It is not in a protected state today.

Patina can be rust free and can be protected without pigmented paint which is called "clear coat"! i went to the best, most highly recommended body shops where I live in search of a clear primer. Answer, none exist according to them, why? they paint cars! They sell and spray pigmented paint. I discovered that there is a primer that is lucid, to which pigmented paint and clear coat paint will adhere. Its is sold by Ace and other outlets and is called "Prep and Prime ". I used that on my truck three years ago, and sprayed semi gloss clear coat over that. Not one spot of clear is pealing and not one spot of rust has appeared in THREE years. PATINA CAN BE PROTECED AND WITH IT THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE. As a side note. The most highly respected paint shop in my town holds two classic car show a year. He will not park my truck with the pretty vehicles! Case closed!

Is this like yours?
