Looks like a great job, Here's hoping you can get the truck back in the wind before summer.

Welcome to the best internet forum for these cars and trucks. We love to see pics of your project.

Welcome to the BEST source of information on these Trucks. You've got quite a project there, Good Luck. I look forward to your posts and progress.

Welcome to the Best Forum on the net for these trucks. Lots of GREAT information here.

Called I.monit 10094 { Atlas Obsolete Auto Parts - Temecula CA } , Ordered up a PAIR o f Cleveland type U Joints, their epay site said they had 5 sets left @ $247.00 each pair . Called them because the delivery date April 1 - 6 was not going to work for me. I wanted to do a local pick up. First they told me NO local pick up ( covid ) and they were NOT in stock ! They hope to have them by next week. I am pissed they show in stock, they take my MONEY ( $100.00 more than two years ago ) then I have to call to see they are back ordered. I called around to all our hobby suppliers all are not buying the Cleveland U Joints from suppliers because the zerks are not in right place, they are trying to get the manufacture remake them. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I might have to go to VPW and replace both yoke and trans ends to modern to get my truck back on the road.

Nice Looking Truck , No answer to your question. There are a few Pilot House Trucks in your area ( Torrance/Gardena Ca)., I am working on a '50 B 2 B in Torrance if you need a hand let me know. Rod

Hey Old CWO , Yepp, I have a couple. First bring good walking shoes LOTS to see, acres of parts. Second, SKIP the first Six (6) rows { all VW parts }. Not alot of Vintage Mopar parts but there are some scattered around. If you are into Vintage or Modern Motor Cycles there is a BIG Swap meet at El Camino College in Torrance. It will be held the Saturday before Pomona ( 12 Oct. 2019 ). It is too bad you will not be in CA on October 26, 2019. The BIG MOPAR Fall Fling Swap meet happens. Way too many parts to take home.

Nice looking project on that trailer Mark, Good luck with it.

Davin, Sorry to hear after all the time & money invested so far the low life bums have not finished the job. You did right by yanking it out of there . I have no doubt you will finish this project in time and it will be spectacular . Good luck & look forward to seeing you in 2020 . Rod

Nice looking tuck , Welcome to the Forum. Good to see you are keeping your Grandson busy part of the day getting greasy. That;s what being young is all about. He will remember this time all his life.

Yes I would be interested in 48 ~ 50 B2B front grill shot t shirt .

I have used JB Weld with good results.

Thank You Everybody ! With your help I was able to sign on , read and keep up with this GREAT wealth of information.

The " Cleveland Style " U joints are straight forward, bend down locking tabs then use 7/16 box wrench to remove. Mark the relationship of driveshaft to rear end and transmission, otherwise you might get vibrations @. High Speeds. On my truck there was enough play / movement to slide the shaft clear enough to remove . A VERY easy job that can be done in one afternoon with all the parts there I ordered mine from Roberts Motors last year $ 150.00 + Shipping ordered on Monday , delivered by Wednesday afternoon,Back on the road Wednesday night
