    Why no fender washers?? I used a kit that I believe had a sort of bowtie shaped piece with a fixed nut on it

    You guys all need one of these to mow with

    No pics but group 25 in the W series parts book is platform and stake. Shows 9 beds /parts

    For the W series the ones with that wheel arch are dodge beds

    Interesting most of them look like 2 doors either business coupes or sedans. They must not have been willing to step up to the 4drs

    Dorman 614-001 Uni-Fit C.V. Joint Boot Kit Outer I got mine from Amazon- they are currently $16.

    I bought a pair of modern generic CV joint boots that I was able to use on my P15 joints. It's only been one season so I can't 100% say they are the solution but they sure seemed up to the task.

    I'm not aware of new ones available other than old stock. I did buy a couple off eBay way back when.

    I believe you are right also and it's a bullet connection. I have a few motors but none are installed in a truck.

    Nope runs every summer but I don't recall doing it or knowing it should be done on either of my flatheads

    Mine come out Saturday regardless of snow......

    Do you know what type of assembly lube was used? The engine in my 46 truck was in my Dad's 51 convert before and was removed at 172 miles because it wiped the bearings. At the time they said it was gunk in the galley that didn't get cleaned but part of me wonders how much of it was sitting for so many years while the rest of the car was rebuilt. For the cost of a few gaskets you could have piece of mind. Another option pressurize the oil system before trying to start.

    Not the prettiest harness but it doesn't look corroded or damaged. Any idea when it was redone as that's certainly not OEM
  14. Young Ed
    Agree if the 6v harness is in good condition will handle 12v fine. If it's not you can get a generic wiring harness off eBay for about $40. If you already have the alternator I think the rest would just be bulbs. Maybe a step down for any accessories

    What about 10-20 years later on??

    Crosley based racecar?

    A stock W series would have 4 wood cross members with either 6 or 8 large bolts through the bed floor crossmember and the frame. I've never seen a solid reason for why some have 2 more. My trucks I used 8 in both although I know the 47 only had 6 originally. The rubber pieces were clipped to the frame to hold in place.
  18. Young Ed
    Only way I would picture that being factory is if your truck was originally a cab and chassis unit.

    Tricky it goes to the towboard to the eyelet of a cotter pin. The spring goes forward from there to the throttle linkage on the manifolds
  20. Young Ed
    Yes W series at least for 1/2 tons all the cross members are wood. Actual 2x4s. For both by trucks I modified the rear one to make it once piece rather than a crossmember and separate filler under the tailgate. Edit- yes you need a pad too. The true test of height is of the grease fitting is centered in the filler panel above the running board. Mine are sidewalls of an old tire.
  21. Young Ed
    Yes a bolt or screw. I think the few crusty ones were your basic round head screw. Personally I'd go for a countersunk screw to sit flush

    Hopefully this links you to my thread. If it goes to the end go back a couple pages.

    I just checked my W series shop manual and I don't see it there either. You might need the crash charts if anything has it. There is a chart floating around somewhere. It's also pretty easy to back into with the finished length and width of the box. If you are cutting yourself make sure you have your strips on hand. I had to cut all mine twice because my strips didn't match the chart cuts. My turkey truck build thread has some pics of my bed construction

    Hard knock

    I've read somewhere the fuel pump can make a noise like this

    It's a great backer for welding sheet metal when you might burn through
