Hey my friends, I feel your frustration. Fear not only one vendor, just keep
your eyes open. I have not had, as bad experiences, with some of these
vendors as you. Remember most of their parts are made in China. I found most
things made in China should not be
Is there some lubrication or other work that I should do to my vacuum wiper
motor before putting it back into operation. It has been about 30 years
since it has been used.
Also, the speedometer needle is broken on my 1940 half ton. How do I go
about replacing it? Does it require special tools,
Mike,
Just my two cents. I was told by an old timer when I was going about doing my
wiper motor, to open it up and pour in some red tranny fluid for a couple of
days to soak the paddles that rotate back and forth, and make them more

You might cast about for some of the speedometer rebuild services. This
can be done at home, but a lot of times I destroy the first one I try.
There is pot metal involved and the covers are sometimes crimped

Careful Larry, don't let out too many of our great Florida secrets and hot

Janice, That sounds like it would be the right way to do things. Old timer
told me to squirt some oil into the vacuum line tubing, and then blow the oil
up into the vacuum motor to keep the leather moist. Just took a minute and
worked just fine, but I changed over to an electric motor when I
Why in the H*** would you want to do that?? On mine the filter housing is
heavy aluminum and mounts to intake, has metal tubes and hose ends to connect.
One went bad, and I used pipe fittings at each end and had Hydraulic hose make
up to fit. Filters are easy to find. What's the problem

I'll admit that I paid a mechanic to do this for me but I think the switch is
pretty straightforward. I believe you reuse the stock linkage. My

Good to know I got that wrong. American Classic Truck Parts is not the one

Thanks John for getting us straightened out on this.
I did have a
Great to see you on the list, Thomas! Wonderful to know the old Chevy trucks
are all around the world, and still being cared for. Hope we'll see lots of
