Ok no worries  just wondering

[ggdad1951]

sorry no luck last night....I'll dig somemore today

[jpartington]

Did you ever end up finding a shroud?

also I found a nos ignition switch on eBayand bought it but it doesn't have a key. Am I able to take the lock cylinder out of it without the key?     

[jpartington]

Found myself an original rear view mirror

[jpartington]

After some time and lots of scrubbing this is what it looks like.

I have an original 50 B2B, it has been driven little since 1971. It has 6.50-16 tires all around. 

Just inherited it from the original buyer, my father in law.

Some more fresh powder

[jpartington]

Seems all I know how to do is paint and powder coat haha. All these parts will have to get done at some point or another and these are the cheapest things to do for me right now. I like to at least be making a little progress on it.

[jpartington]

Just need the defrost cable now. Thanks Keven

Would it be possible for anyone to take measurements as to where the heater control panel is located? I’m adding it and don’t currently have any holes to mount it.

[ggdad1951]

add it where it works for you.  should be on the left side of the dash by the drives door.

[Reg Evans]

Never did Great Grandad.  If a 610-T isn't correct what is ?

[jpartington]

That sticker is funny, I like that.

also turns out the holes were already there I guess maybe I just didn’t look

Hank had a 610T refurbed (man was it pretty) but it did not fit my factory cutout at all.  I think the final answer was an 800 series radio.  I'll dig and see if I can find the consensus and edit it back in here.

 

I believe we settled on the 812 due to some work done by Brent.

Got the ash tray mostly finished powdered what I could and shined up the chrome with some steel wool. I never knew how great that stuff was  just need the female part of the lighter now. I have the knob and element, then I can get that installed.

[jpartington]

And while I was at it, I did my best on a couple more chrome parts. The horn ring and the speaker cover. They cleaned up nicely

Great Truck! I'm following this forsure. Great info. Did you convert carb filter to an air filter?

[jpartington]

Thank you. 

Just the regular old oil bath filter
