Re: '34 Truck comes to live with it's brother.

I like that full floater too but I've been super impressed with the the size of the roller bearings on the '33 semi floater - it's not wimpy.

Re: '34 Truck comes to live with it's brother.

Where did you find load limits for the BB?

I figure I was about 6,000 for the truck and just shy of 10K for the trailer and load.

Re: 1933 Ford BB truck

I just ordered 15 feet of .54 friction coefficient woven lining and rivets 2 1/2" x 1/4"

Re: 1933 Ford BB truck

I didn't see anything wrong other than broken brake springs which I replaced.

Drums are smooth and clean and within .015" larger than 14 inches so they are in great shape.
