Norm,
Congratulations.
You are starting on one of the most fun projects I can imagine.
This list is the best I have seen on any topic and we are fortunate for all
the wonderful folks who unselfishly share their knowledge and experience.
This make the project even more fun.
Good luck,
David

Subject: [oletrucks] Well i bought one!
|Well gang! I was at the landlords other farm today looking at what he has
|there that may appeal to me.....and I saw my new project.....first time I
|layed eyes on it I had to have it! I have no clue what year it is :-) The
|title says 51......but it has no filler neck hole and one piece
|windows......so I assume the cab has been replaced!
|
|But the body is why I bought it.....it is and always was totally rustfree!
|He bought it as someones abandoned project......all in primer.......the
|project consits of....some year AD truck, 3/4 ton,3 window, A fresh rebuilt
|engine....., a totally rustfree cab, fenders, hood, doors, visor, and a new
|wiring harness already installed....frame has been painted, and the running
|gear is in place, beyond that I have not looked......I know it will need
|glass, seat, and all the small things, but it has about 40 boxes full of
|stuff that goes with it!
|
|The only two things that at all bother me about it is this, It has no box,
|and it is a 3spd on the tree! Was that a normal combo?...I always thought
|the 3/4 tons were floor shifted? I am sure the cab isn't original at
|all.....but it seems the tranny and that sorta stuff is.....but maybe not!
|Well the project now begins sorta...have to finish my Broco rebuild and
then
|I will have a heck of a challenge ahead of me....but at least i have acess
|to parts and the original trucks to see how it all goes together! Will buy
|some repair manules, and start studying this winter! Ok enough blabbing
|from me....am excited :-)
