    Thanks for your help with this issue. I have found that the holed plate that the hinge bolts to in the door pillar is welded in place ....no wonder I couldn't move it. ...as you can see in the photo the holes are not central so that's what confused me. I have run a tap down the threads to clean them up and now to bolt the doors on. Onwards and upwards. Happy days. Cheers Dave UK.

    Thanks billrigsby and tooljunkie. I have put a lot of releasing fluid on them and will apply heat next week. Hopefully I can put a picture of them released later. England going into Lockdown next week so I hope I have all the gear needed. Stay safe. Cheers Dave UK.

    Hi billrigsby. The four bolts on the left in your picture. It's the plate that they are bolted to. If you remove the door and hinges there is a plate captivated in the pillar with four threaded holes. Mine is rusted to the cab pillar and it's going to need some heat and hammer to get it out. I needed to know how easy it comes out. Hope this makes sense. Cheers Dave

    Sorry if I misled you. The door hinges are free. It's the plate in the cab pillar with the four threaded holes that's rusted to the pillar. I think this should be free to move a bit to allow adjustment of the door. Can this plate be removed easily from the pillar ?

    The cab if my 1954 c-1-b6 has been left outside for years with the doors off. The plate inside the door pillar that the door hinges bolt to are solid and stuck to the pillar. I take it these should be loose but can I remove these after I have freed them off ? Can they slide out. Thanks for any info. Dave. Norwich UK.

    Thanks for the replys.......I have heated it up and give it a good thump from both sides but no movement. Drilling it out is the next option but thought I would ask on here first just incase I was missing something.......If I drill it out I am hoping I can fit a slightly bigger pin and peen it over on both sides.

    Hi To All, I am trying to dismantle the distributor on my 1954 truck. Can you help please.......I need to get the small pin that connects the bottom drive shaft to the top shaft out....Is it a straight pin, tapered pin or rusted roll pin. Any help most welcome.....cheers, Dave..........Norwich UK.

    Hi tinlizzy, I am still building my truck , when I fitted the radiator frame I bolted it straight onto the chassis. I could not find any rubber mounts or the like. Mind you don't raise the frame too high and throw the front panel and bonnet alignment out...….Cheers, Dave

    Cheers kencombs, not much difference in name there. ?

    The bolts I used for the steel bed strips were coach bolts, they have the square under the dome head. Not sure what they are called in the USA. The bed strips have a square hole and these fitted great.

    Hi Tinlizzy, I did not need patterns for my wood floor as there is no fender cut outs, its all straight wood. just had to work out the gaps to allow for hold down strips and bolt clearance. there must be a pattern somewhere on this site. ..........Dave

    Cheers 59bisquik. I have made my own rubber mounts but I think doubling up to 1/2" thick will do the business. Be good to get the truck out of the garage and let it see daylight when this virus is over. Thanks for all your help lads...Dave. Norwich UK. ........Its coming along slowly.....

    Cheers Tooljunkie, Thats what I needed to know. I have some 1/4" thick rubber pads that I will use. They will do the job ok. I have purchased several parts from America , like Rock Auto and DCM , but do I get hit with import customs tax. I will keep an eye on Vics Dodge garage and may use them when this virus thing is over. Just wish I had a bigger garage to work in. Dave

    Reading through the bed refurbishment I cant see if there is any packing between bed cross members and the chassis. I have rubber to set it on but is there anything else there ?
  18. thrashfit
    Wow Thanks , I will read through that tonight, many thanks

    Hi Tooljunkie, That would be great. I will look later

    Hi, I am about to fit the rear bed to the frame, 1954 C-1-B6 , is there any spacers or does it just sit on the rubber pads which are about 1/4" thick ? Any pictures of this area would be most helpful. Thanks, Dave......Norfolk UK

    Cheers Lads, I like your replies, I have knocked through the rear of the garage into the shed so there is more room and the truck fits...just. Picture shows the buck being built and the chassis moved onto the driveway so I can get to assemble it. The rear wheels have to be removed and the axle put on skids so the roof of the cab clears the garage door....Happy days...Planning is the word. Dave

    Hi Lads, Many thanks for your replies, I did'nt want to assemble the whole front then find I needed to have gaskets between the panels. All captivated nuts have been tapped out and new bolts found so its stays as original as possible. When the weather breaks I can get the truck outside and fit the front on as well as rewiring and bleeding the new brakes. I sure wish I had the room you boys have in the States, the truck just fits in my garage and when fitted the doors wont open...no width here. Best wishes Dave....UK...........The picture shows the truck in the garage with the front panel mocked up with a couple of bolts just to see what it looks like.......
