    My 51 had the same heater with fresh air and the mine was medal with rubber seal as well.

    I've had the amazon nut on order for quite some time with no ship date given as yet. I didn't even think of checking with McMaster. I'll go ahead and order from McMaster so I can get the oil line ran. Thanks! Brad

    Is this the special nut being discussed?

    That would be a lot of chips Thanks for the idea.

    I really like that brass filter housing to carburetor adapter! I currently have PVC that I machine to fit. I just might have to find a some large brass tubing Thanks, Brad

    51 1/2 ton is the same as your 1 ton.

    Fabrication looks good. Been there done that with the chip in the eye (twice). Quite painful.

    I ordered a set of those wiper refills on 5/22/2020 and they arrived yesterday 6/15/2020. They are indeed a direct rubber replacement item and look and fit great It will be a long time before my truck ever sees rain so I can't say how well they actually wipe the water away but these certainly look promising.

    I too would be skeptical of nylon but I wonder if Delrin would be a possible alternative. It's used for bearing loads in a lot of different areas including heavy equipment. My Triumph TR6 originally used nylon bearings in various parts of the suspension. The original nylon parts had to be replaced every so often but the newer stuff seems to be pretty good. I also know racers that run Triumph sports cars use nylon and Delrin in the suspensions with great success. I'm not advocating a switch to something like Delrin but it would be interesting to know if it is a viable alternative. Brad

    Roland, You connect the positive terminal to the frame.

    Steps for people with tiny feet?

    I've not heard of using expandable rubber plugs in place of soft plugs. Do you have any details you could share?

    This is the same as my 51 B3B.

    A while back Tinlizzy (Lee) asked me to fabricate an MC bracket for his truck. Attached are a couple of pictures of the bracket installation on his truck. One question that came up was what to do about the brake switch. For myself I am replacing the union that mounds on the frame behind the MC with a T and will mount the brake switch there. What have others done? Brad

    Your welcome

    I would definitely have preferred that option.

    I bought a couple of kits from Then and Now and it included two pins in each kit. One is just long enough to reach from side to side and the other is shorter and I believe is intended to be used with two small freeze plugs or cups as shown in the attached picture. Has anyone else had a kit with the short pin and two cups? I'm assuming the intention is to use the two cups to hold the pin in place. On the longer pin my guess is you're supposed to stake the housing so the pin can't slide out. Anyone have a preference as to which would be better? Brad

    I thought so at first too but it looks like the mounting plate is much longer than the one in the picture. I think Dan nailed it about being an aftermarket "upgrade".

    People certainly haven't changed over the years have they! Thanks!

    I've been googling ornaments for the last hour and haven't found one that matches. I agree the car sure appears to be a 37 Chevy. Thanks for the info. Brad
  21. bkahler
    I think you're right, it appears to be a 37 Chevy Sedan. The only oddity is the ornament. Was it a popular trend back in the day to swap out ornaments for something more flashy? Mecum auction Thanks!! Brad

    I figured I'd post this on the car side figuring I would have better luck getting an id. This is a picture of a car my mom drove in Colorado springs back around 1950-51 or so. She called it her "Chev in the Springs". My Siblings and I would really like to identify the make and model of the car. The hood ornament is fairly distinctive but I have yet to find a match for it. Thanks! Brad

    Todd, Your welcome. I believe the key holder is now in the right hands and I'm glad you're going to try and find a little history about it. I'm looking forward to what you might find out Brad
