Re: Saving a family treasure...(1936 1and1/2 ton)
I haven't been in in awhile, farming season has slowed down the progress. However it came a big rain last week so got to work on the bed, and got it mounted. It had 2 boards put together originally that measured a tad over 2.5 inches wide and a tad over 7 inches tall. I had enough threads left on the clamps to mount a 2/8. I don't plan to haul any big loads so think this will work. Next will be to put boards on the bed and on the sides and still have to paint the wheels I've already got the duals blasted and ready for primer! The boys at the body shop about half my fenders ready and I have the hood completed so basically after that will be interior work, which I already have the headliner and side panels purchased. And of course get the glass installed so it's coming together should have it ready for the parade this Labor Day!
