One point that hasn't been raised about the proportioning valve. 70% of your braking in in the front of your vehicle, the front loads up, and the back lightens up. Yes, even big vehicles. Newer cars have this taken into consideration for braking needs. Large front disc, smaller rear disc or...

Did I miss one important issue somewhere in the post, if so I stand corrected. But heres what I wanted to say, drum brakes require a couple of pounds pressure at all times when the brakes are not pressed, its to maintain the pressure against the shoes and the springs, disc brakes don't require...

Those combinations have been considered, but I think I would use a garden bench, then I could carry two, LOL. :deadhorse:

Would towing my stripped down 63 frame be ok? I may have to tow it with the Harley, but its something I guess, LOL. Yeah, like thats going to happen. Have to get busy on the blasted 63 and at least make it driveable :deadhorse:

One solution to master cylinders that I became aware of is having your original master cylinder sleeved. I have found two places that will sleeve it with a stainless steel sleeve, for the price of a newer complete MS. If you want to retain the original look, and have a MS that will last lots...

If you need dodge parts, let me know, most of mine came from open cabs, but I do have running gear parts which would fit[thumbzup].

If not thru NAPA, check with Midwest Military or VintagePowerWagons, both have great websites.

Thats a big help, thanks.

Swordmd, thanks for the pics, if I had known, I would have taken pictures and measurements from the frame I stripped. My 63 is a 43', in the first 13000 trucks made, I bought it from a guy near Lewiston in Aug. Would you be able to provide me some actual measurements, i.e. from the angle...

I just came across an interesting situation. I went to install the safety chain loops on my WC-63. The loops came from one of my parts frames, since gone. Much to my surprise, there are no holes for the loops. None, not even welded up holes, does anyone know if this was common for the...

OK, someone tell me there are some WC-62/63 1 1/2 tons there, just humor me, lie if you have to. LOL Seroiusly, AZ is closer if they have a decent cargo bed.

I am in awe, now I know where to visit in AZ next time thru.

Unfortunately that is my only whole weekend off this month, and the MV tolerant half here wouldn't like me running off on her, LOL.

I wish I could, but the 63 is still non-op right now. I hope to have her running and licensed soon, and in MV time, soon is what? within the next 5 years :-P LOL Otherwise would love the drive down, I do know were Graham is, been many times for the Scottish Games at the Park there.

****, what a mess. Definetly 1 1/2 ton axles. As for value, don't give him more then local scrap value, their value is there if you find a buyer. I have scrapped out 2 62's whose frames were rotted, steel doesn't bear up to our northwest rain for 60 plus years. I have the parts, but don't...

Lots of good info, thanks. I know the one John sells is correct for my 63, as the numbers match from my G-507 manual. I guess I have been asking to help me be aware of the parts that come up on ebay etc, and if they are the right ones. I will stick to the part number I know CC 925324, and if...

Hense my confusion, John sells recastings of the part number of carrier from a 62/63. Yet there are others listed as you say common to the 3/4 tons, so whats the difference? if there is one. With the frame on the 1 1/2 tons extended, the angle for the carrier could be different for it to be...

Who is up on all the different spare tire carrier part numbers? I know what the part number for the carrier of my WC 63 is, but have seen other carriers listed on ebay with different numbers, but saying they will fit. Before I would bid on something with an alternate number I would of course...

Thats the kind of situation I am hoping for, tho closer would be better. Which boxes you need are better determined by VIN, the book I have that info in is at work. If you give me your VIN I can tell you which boxes you need monday. Now if we could come up with a cheap shipping source. I...

I have seen the one John at MWM has, looks comparable to mine in condition. I have emailed him but haven't heard back. The secondary issue is he is in the midwest, I am north of Seattle. Makes for some expensive shipping.
