Truck now runs, drives, and stops, we put in some new brake lines and a steering shaft this week. We also changed the fluids today before driving down the street a few times.

Got a few more things done in last couple days. Changed the parking brake drum, and pulled the shocks, they are all bad. Hopefully we'll get the front wiring in soon.

Made some progress today, got some sandblasting done on the floor pieces and runningboards and installed some rear wheel cylinders and got the wheels back on.

Thanks guys, here's some before and after pics of the cab corners.

We pulled the wheel cylinders today and this is what we found, the truck had dot 3 run in it...

Thanks, i will have to find or make a shield for it.

We've made quite a bit of progress over the last month.8-)

We made some more progress this week. Got one cab corner welded in and also welded another rust hole in the cab. We also got the engine bay and a bunch of stuff that goes under the hood painted. I also got some more parts, shock bushings, map light socket, tow shackles, and a temp sender. The...

:mrgreen: Even the white lettering on the goodyear has been done before.:)

And then Evil Dr. Porkchop did some detail painting. The goodyear is the spare.

Today we shot some gillespie 24087 on the wheels.:mrgreen:

Finally got the tires mounted. :) Hopefully we'll get them painted tomorrow. Here's some pictures.

Sandblasted and primed the wheels today, hopefully I'll be able to mount the tires soon, need some tubes first.

I got the gaskets for the engine today, so hopefully I'll be able to paint the cab and chassis and engine when it warms back up outside. :-) I think I'm going to hang on to the superlugs until I get this thing on the road, I'm tempted to put them on the truck but I don't think I'm gonna use...

No not yet

Over the past couple days we pulled the radiator and fan, the generator, oil canister, and all the hard lines around the engine. We also removed the manifolds and carb as one piece. Hopefully we'll be able to paint the engine this weekend. Then I have to change the fuel pump and paint a few...

Mine was folded and stuck at the brace between the frame and the rear crossmember that the bumperette bolts to on the drivers side.

Didn't get too much done today, just a lot of sanding on the cab and degreasing the engine. We have to weld in cab corners and a few holes that were drilled, then it will be painted back to OD green after the body work is done.

Well, at least one is leaking, and only two of the shoes are moving, and I found a huge empty bottle of Dot 3 under the seat... Here's a pic of the lightswitch and instrument cluster with two temp gauges;-)

Today we dismounted all the tires from the wheels. The tires are all dated from the early 1950s and were retreads so they are being replaced with some used NDTs I bought. We also got all of the wiring pulled and started sanding the paint and cutting out rust. All the brake drums are now off...
