  1. Down to the short rows now. I need q dome light cover. I don't know what one looks like so I cannot be any help. I assume it would be a plastic piece. If anyone has a source for these things please contact me. None of the parts suppliers I've contacted has anything like that listed. Thanks very much!! (edited by mod to remove parts request aspect)
  2. Thanks, Ken. I found that DCM Classics had them. I needed a bunch of stuff so the shipping came back to earth. How are things in Oklahoma?
  3. Like the title says I'm looking for the hard black rubber trim piece that "sweeps" the outside of the truck glass as it goes up or down. Maybe it didn't start out as hard rubber but 70 years on it is pretty hard. It has a weird profile and looks to have been bolted in place. The piece I have is only about 3" long. What I need is the part number and/or real name of the pieces. As a bonus I would like to know where a pair are available for sale. Thanks very much! lonejacklarry North Port, FL
  4. Can anyone post a picture of the front lower shock mount of a '54 C1B? We're doing a long distance assembly and I don't remember what they look like. Thanks, Larry
  5. Thanks for the replies. When I looked at the fitting on the end of the crank I never noticed it had a hex shape behind the crank slots. I think I have a socket that big but, in not, I can make a short term crank fitting like was posted. And, for those keeping score, I have no desire to hand crank start the engine either. I've never tried it but I used to ride kick start motorcycles and I vividly remember how fast the kick pedal could come back up. No desire to repeat that ever again.
  6. Bret3B- yes, that looks like a tool that I need. Dodgeb4ya-yep, the bottom picture shows what I need, Are these commonly sold as a tool or did they come in the truck's tool kit? At any rate this is what I need. It would be easy to weld a bolt on the free end and crank it with a ratchet. Anyone have one of these for sale?
  7. I don't know about radiator clearance as the engine is sitting on a roll around dolly. I did not notice any hex protrusion that would take a socket. It does look like some fitting goes into the bolt type thing and it can only be turned clockwise. I hope this makes some sense. If not I can get a picture of it. Thanks.
  8. It occurred to me that I ought to turn the engine over occasionally now that the rebuild it finished. Could anyone tell me what the business end of the crank looks like so I would know what I'm looking for? Or better yet anyone have an extra lying around for sale. Thanks.
  9. No, he wasn't a very big guy.....maybe 6' 180 or so. I don't remember the eye color but I know he was not blond. He is the only SOG guy I knew as he married my wife's cousin. Thanks for the response and I hope things get better for you.
  10. Sorry to hear you are having a tough time. I noticed you were a MACV-SOG veteran. The only one I know (now deceased) is George R. Givens. He retired as a Captain and went by his middle name, Randy Ring any bells? I do hope that the medics can keep your pain under control and keep the faith. Larry
  11. In the event that you wish to overhaul your steering box I have little information. I took the old oil seals to my machinist buddy, Goober, for some measurements. I've forgotten the measurements but I took the numbers to a NAPA that has old guys there. One of the old guys searched his books for seals with the measurements that I needed and $15 later I had new seals in my hand...........and they fit beautifully. The NAPA numbers are 7440 and 12334 if you need them.
  12. I'm going to use the stock steering box and an electric steering column from Flaming River. Costly, very, but it simplifies the pulley system. I couldn't get PS, Alternator, and A/C all on the little block. I guess we'll see...........
