how long do I get to think about it? would you be willing to part with individual pieces? radiator, ignition, carb, intake parts, harness

I got it to run very briefly today by putting gas directly in the carb. I'm not getting any fuel from the tank to the carb so I think I think a new fuel pump/lines are in my near future.

I had been watching the one you just bought on ebay since the first day it was listed. I would be glad to buy it from you, I just didn't see the point of starting a bidding war.

thanks recovry, I have access (I think) to some welded wheels, so there is no need to add that to the load. ignition parts on the other hand.... btw do you still want that TM from 1954?

Recovry, are you sending/bringing riveted wheels this way? If so I wold be interested in one. (I currently don't have a spare)

Except for the whole irreversible nervous system and brain damage, e.g., loss of motor control, numbness in limbs, blindness, and inability to speak part, mercury would probably work pretty well :)

I have heard great things about dynabeads and BB's in the Jeep/offroad community. BB's are cheaper (especially since you will be using pounds of them), but they could invite rust. I would think that many small objects (dynabeads etc.) would be better than a few large ones.

BTW: what became of the round tank? what years/models was that found on?

did you clean out the pickup when you had the tank boiled? mine is in my garage in peices right now (i am in the process of cleaning it out) the bottom of mine is gummed up with varnish. the very small hole in the bottom of the tube was clogged

where are you located?

How clean are your gas tank/lines? do you have a pic of your bed from the rear? that looks like a m34 bed (I think)

rdixie ?

Connected batteries today while the old gas tank was in the midst of flush number 67. The guages all seem to work and the buzzer is much louder than I expected. The motor will turn over. None of the lights work, but I doubt this truck has been driven in the dark in the last 15 years.

did you make the hard lines or buy them?

I was planning on taking the tank to a radiator shop to have it cleaned out. (some rust inside from sitting). Can I make up some muratric acid to clean it out myself? The rust doesn't appear that bad, I just want to start this project with a clean fuel system.

BTW what do I need to do to clean off any residue from it being dipped/boiled out?

I am going to need to paint my gas tank, the first of many(all of them) parts that I will be painting. I will be starting with bare metal. I have a series of questions 1. what color should I be looking for? 1952 REO M45 green, but not carc 2. what primer should I use? 3. How much paint...

52 year old hardtop? sounds interesting to me.

congratulations! will you be able to tow with the new truck? What did it take to tow the way you have it in the picture?

bought some batteries I bought a pair of Interstate batteries today (Part# MTP-65 Mega-Tron Plus - 875 CCA) $57 total including two core charges :)
