Taking Delivery

[thecfarm]

I can remember a Dodge car my Brother had that had a "L" on the end of the stud and an "R" on the stud on the other side of the car.

[plowboyswr]

The ole '65 ford in my avitar has left hand threaded studs on the left side of the truck and right hand threads on the right. The neighbor's '59 GMC 2 ton is the same way. Truck is looking and sounding good.

[sandhills]

Yes, unfortunately I still get to drive an'73 old freight shaker the same way  :D

Jeff,

I really like the pictures you have been posting lately, Can you tell us how you do it?

On LH lug nuts, they usually have a score mark around them in the middle of the nut.

I had a 46. The front will be the same.

[Jeff]

Everything I find, the right side should be right handed threads. This tels me at some point, the right hub was replaced, and replaced with a lefthand hub.

[coxy]

jeff I hope this truck don't turn you to the left ;)  :D 8)

[Ljohnsaw]

Jeff,
Just a thought...  Did you pull the front drums off yet?  Are they both right handed? ;)

[Jeff]

Not yet, but front drums are not the same as the back, so, not what yet thinking. 

[Jeff]

Ready for some new shoes!

Wingtips or brogans?

Jeff, a guy about 20 miles away from me has a boneyard with acres and acres of trucks I'd be surprised if he didn't have a few of those, what are you looking for?  Nice to see her running!

Sent you a PM, not sure you got it.  I'm looking for the windshield frame assembly and running boards.  I got 3 running boards with it, and turns out, none of them are for this truck.

Oh, i don't need a horn!!

Sorry Jeff, I got your pm and another wanting his number, I'll get a hold of him today but been busy with work, calving, and now of coarse we're having our end of April blizzard  :.  I'll see what I can come up with.

[Jeff]

One more little step. Horn all blasted, reassembled and painted. It got louder! It's a great horn.


  
Here is the next little project. The aforementioned heater. All torn apart. Turns out, it has a fan. And it works. Lots of elbow grease goona be needed on this one!

[Darrel]

Hey Jeff, the old horn looks as good as it sounds! 8) 8) 8)

And you got the whole weekend to work on the heater!

You da MAN!!!

[Jeff]

Looking good, nice paint,  8) 8)

[thechknhwk]

How'd ya get it cleaned up so nice?

[Jeff]

Power washer cleaned the paint off the aluminum cover, followed by sandpaper and a wire brush followed by sandpaper for the steel parts. Every screw and every bolt was cleaned.  I used a rustoleum "hammered" spray paint on the cover and hand pinned striped the steel art deco bands on the front and doors. I had to rewire the old motor as the cloth covered wire was in bad shape.  Heater core was flushed and blown clean, tested and painted. Its all good to go some day!  I won't be putting it back into the truck until the truck is ready for it.

[Magicman]

Looks/sounds good.

I see your medical stash in the 4th picture.      :D

[coxy]

lookin good    the heater box looks like the old speakers at the drive in movies 

[sandhills]

I want your vice!  Tried to buy a good old anvil on an auction a few weeks ago but knew I wouldn't be there, didn't leave a high enough bid  :-\.  That heater turned great!

[Don P]

Looking good Jeff  8)
Hold on to those running boards if you can until you can ID the year, I know mine are shot.

[Jeff]

 Ain't it purty?
Forgot to take a picture of the new brakes hanging on it before putting on the hub. I still have the other side to do.

 

[Delawhere Jack]

Built before the age of "planned obsolescence". Cool!!

It's coming along quickly too.  ;)
