It is a oil-proof inulation paint that is used in starters/generators. It gives protection to the area and oil will not stick to it, so the oil drains off the sidewalls very well.

The red/orange stuff is G E Glyptal , electric motor & transformer insulating varnish. Can be bought at most electrical supply houses. Comes in brush on , or spray bomb.

Thats an Awesome looking pickup!

Chris · 02-10-2014, 10:15 AM

Got it fired and broke in, and back in the truck! Now a lot of screwing around with wiring and plumbing, but the light is at the end of the tunnel

Chris · 02-19-2014, 10:24 AM

Got some more work done over the weekend. All I need to do is finish the wiring, mount the radiator and bolt the headers/exhaust up. A few other odds and ends but she should be running again soon!!!

Tinker · 02-19-2014, 10:40 AM

Very Nice! and great story.

Drew · 02-19-2014, 08:54 PM

Nice looking pickup! I'm sure it will be a blast to drive.

Fredb_ · 02-19-2014, 09:05 PM

Great looking engine...love the look!

totto · 02-19-2014, 10:21 PM

Great looking truck!!!!!! and I am partial to "33-"34's, mine had a '51 Merc in it when I bought it in 1969 along with juice brakes and I restored it back to stock. I think yours will go a little faster than mine!!!

Chris · 02-21-2014, 10:42 AM

Got the radiator in, upper hoses made, wiring is done...I just need to hook up the exhaust and run a new fuel line (old line was on the wrong side from being a 4 cylinder originaly...and old line was 100% copper). It's getting very close, hope to have it about wrapped up this weekend!!

jim galli · 02-21-2014, 11:31 AM

You're right Chris. You do make it look too easy..........

fordcpe · 02-21-2014, 01:08 PM

I love this truck it would go nice with my coupe.never paint that truck.Darrell

deuce lover · 02-21-2014, 01:19 PM

Very nice Chris !!!

Chris · 02-24-2014, 10:46 AM

Thanks guys. I got the exhaust re-installed and the new fuel line nearly made. It was a pain, I had to drain and drop the tank to get the line to the sender. The fuel tanks in those trucks are smashed right up against the bed floor. Either way, I need a couple things from the parts store to finish that job, but the hard part is over. While it is on the lift I am going grease and go over everything under it, but I'm thinking this weekend will be some test drives if the weather coroporates!

Chris · 02-25-2014, 10:43 AM

Got it done last night. Just gonna double check everything while it's in the air and fire up this weekend. It snowed a ton last night...so I'm still in no big hurry to drive it yet. I do hope to drive it back to my house next week (supposed to get into the 50's)
