Folks,
Very quiet in The land of the 32! Holiday and all, it got a rest. Lets recap briefly since this truck came home with me:
-Brakes drums removed, reviewed and repaired.
-Brake rod pivots reworked, with new pins
-Seat frames built and springs attached.
-Tires removed, rims cleaned, lock rings restored.
-New Firestones (7) mounted and in position.
-Galion dump bed attached to the truck frame
-#1 engine and transmission removed
-#2 engine secured
-#2 block repaired due to freeze crack
- adjustable lifters installed in #2 engine
- New Radiator secured
- Rod bearing clearance checked on #2 crank.
- Gasket kit secured.
- Flywheel in for leveling.
- Front crank pulley and sleeve from #1 engine installed on #2 crank.
- correct headlights for the 32.
I continue to lower my expectations for this truck to move on its own this fall. It could happen but the stars will need to align!
Thanks for checking in on me.
I have been busy trying to consume the hemlock wall coverings to allow some space for things (tractors) to eventually come inside this winter too. I now have a plan for most of it!
Is there a place where I could just order a set of rings for my .060 over sized pistons? These are 4 ring sets per piston compared to the Hastings which are only three sets per piston? I dont know what brand these pistons are but they do have a machined split in the sides.
Regards,
Chris
