  1. Keven hooked me up with a honey comb radiator last week.after pulling my old one out i noticed it has a 1.5" ID mouth and the one Keven had was a 2" ID mouth. i did have my old one recored several years ago but they never changed the mouth. (it is possible it had been changed prior to the recore, but i don't know) does anyone know if the 51 had a smaller mouth? is there a way to track the numbers stamped on the tanks? (tryed to show photo's still having trouble)
  2. sorry, i am not familar with that term or location on my truck yet. would anyone happen to have a photo or information on how i can tell if it has rolled out or twisted? also, is there a reinforcement of the strucure that has worked for anyone?
  3. I scaled back the resolution but it will only let me download one at a time..hope it shows up.... Hank, I was trying to use my iphone for the pics (I switched to the pocket camera) and I only have the laptop at home ...... note to self, don't give a teenager a "slide hammer" to pull out dents on a classic
  4. wow, maybe I have installed the cab mounts backwards/ upside down? the hinges seem tight. I am still figuring out the website and my new camera, i took photo's but they are too large to download? i will have to work on this, so many questions, i know you guys can guide me. Merry Christmas to all..... by the way is there a Pilot-house forum for our wives to vent i have been told i am obsessed..... on the other hand maybe i shouldn't find out
  5. hello gents, my first vehicle was a B3B given to me by my grandma when I was 15. ( I worked it off, by getting wood with her in it) when I was 18, I thought it would be cool to "restore it" . so I took it apart, carried the truck from house to house and did a couple things that I thought was correct. 32 years later (and a lot of bad advice) I am looking at doing some body work. I confess this, to ask this question. I am trying to align the body parts before I go into dent removal and so on. the doors both sag about an 1" or so at the strike side. are there shims that go behind the hinges to lift or adjust the doors? I can't remember how well they closed in the first place as they were pulled off another rig before she bought it. I seem to remember the markings of "52" on them but that maybe wishful thinking. will 52 doors align on a 51 cab? sorry for no photo's kind of embarrassed of it's condition and the work I have done until this point wish I could have just held off and been more patient until I got more money and experience under my belt
