jsd245 Posted February 25, 2023 Report Share Posted February 25, 2023 So meet Big Ben. That's what the former owner called him so I will continue the name. 1952 B3-GA. while my 1953 B4GA is still a project it's gonna take me a good while to sort out the rust. This 1952 is from Idaho and doesn't have a bit of rust. I'm tickled with it. Engine is a industrial Chrysler 251 clearly a replacement but the former owner did a rebuild . It seems to run well. This will also be a fun project as there are a few things to sort out, but I can drive and enjoy it in the meantime. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsd245 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Yep two speed works. Dump works, the po did quite a bit of working cleaning it up brakes are all new, and he freshened up the interior a bit. I’ll probably swap wheels with the ones I had made for the B4. The tires on Ben are all new but they have really lousy traction tread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put about 50 miles on him today. Ran quite good. Really quite enjoying driving the old guy and getting the hang of the two speed rear. I did it find it that difficult. I was also quite impressed with the headlights. Not nearly as dim as I thought 6v would be. The heater worked well too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
