Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Small town fire trucks are usually "low-milers". I bought a '48 Seagrave pumper out of Portage, WI about 25 years ago that had 2300 miles from new. Except for the paint which had been polished...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
It may be picking nits, but I have to state again that Evaporust is not an acid (citric or any other kind). It works by a process called chelation, and as such, will not harm ferrous metals in any...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Perhaps, given the "arrow" turn signals that are on the truck. "blinking" was considered unnecessary when this unit was marketed. For a taillight, or perhaps just a round auxiliary light, blinking...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
A separate Air Compressor room is really a good idea. I had a friend who had one in his garage, and had a large pipe on the inlet port that went through the wall and terminated in a 90 degree upward...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Distributor condensers are not voltage sensitive. The just need to be .20 to .40 microfarads and capable of handling 400 volt spikes. Good quality condensers are remarkably tolerant when it comes to...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
I really think it is a good practice to read the entire thread before posting a response. Not doing so can result in posting incorrect or redundant information. I used to do it myself, but have since...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
I don't think it's possible to post a video directly to "The Barn" (at least I have never been able to do it). However, it is pretty easy to post them to "YouTuibe" and then copy and paste the URL...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
I have gained a lot of faith in JB Weld over the years. Seeing this reminded me that I had done a "temporary" repair of a C2 Corvette coupe vent window regulator about 10 years ago. Someone had...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Good luck; I am waiting to see how this turns out. About 20 years ago , I hit the wall with my hemi-powered modified and broke two of the three "ears" cast into the block where the motor mounts bolt...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Too bad about that crack. That's exactly he sort of thing that will put a quick stop to a project like this. Just about anything can be fixed though. Years ago, a friend of mine was able to score a...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Just be careful and do the best job you can with the best materials you can get and don't make any obvious mistakes. This strategy got me reliably back and forth to work and college for 6 years with...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
In my opinion, the advent of the Optima battery (800 CCA) makes the question moot for anything other than modified cars. get the faux Ford script case, and you're golden. It's a given that the wiring...
