HanksB3B Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Since you're going to "hose" the box contents, methods for treating the cast iron can depend on the current condition of the contents. There aren't that many cast iron parts on the truck, pretty much limited to the transmission, brakes and the engine. I had assumed the part has previously been exposed to water and needed rust removal. Oil and grease removal and prep for paint can be different than rust removal. missed it...close but here's another hint:it is the frontmost cast iron part on the truck and it's not the block. Hank; Wow..........this is just getting to sound kinda chick-like. Jeff O.K. No chicken dinner and no chicks for you but there's a hint in the advice :You need to cool down". A TONNEAU!!! ITS A TONNEAU...A FRIGGIN FACTORY TA-KNOW!!!!!! ....right? Real Horse shoes will be available at the BBQ...and not next to any of the trucks.

Please someone get it....so I can start the new thread all about it and get off Pauls. Hank Quote
Desotodav Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 I think you're enjoying this all too much Hank. I'm not saying nothing! I'm sure that you will come up with a catchy name for the new thread. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Well, the front most cast iron piece that's not the block would be the water pump. But that box looks a bit big for that. The only other cast piece I can think of forward of that would be the grill medallion on certain B3's. But that is cast pot metal, not cast iron. Merle Quote

Don Coatney Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Must be an electric blanket to keep you warm and fuzzy. Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 And here I was thinking this was a transmission thread. Maybe it is a cast iron drip tray for his leaky tranny.......that will double as a pancake griddle at the BBQ. Jeff If you want to stop the leaks you can run EP400 semi fluid grease. Quiets these old tranny's down real nice too. Quote
48Dodger Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 A boogie board you're gonna pull behind the truck on Redondough beach! 48Dude! Quote
Dave72dt Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 I know of radiators that had top and bottom tanks of cast iron and weatherfronts with cast iron frames but I don't think either apply to your truck. Quote
HanksB3B Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Dave comes the closest. It’s a Honeycomb Radiator in perfect shape. I couldn’t be happier ! To find out why and to please help me get out of Paul’s Thread (what’s it about Car vs. Truck Radiators err, no “Truck vs. Car Transmissions” http://p15-d24.com/topic/35293-replacing-my-old-radiator/ Paul I apologize for temporarily hijacking your thread, Hank Edited January 30, 2014 by HanksB3B Quote
