RE: [old-chevy-truck] Stuck brake drums
ordered a manual. Read the first one to death and it was in tatters. So I figured out the axle shaft has to come out with a tool I will have to make for the end of a slide hammer. Then there is some adjusting stuff behind that that requires special wrench J870. I have no idea what this looks like, but it is used to remove an adjusting nut and a lock nut. Then I guess the drum pulls off and I can have at the wheel cyllinders which is what I want to get at in the first place. I will have them resleeved at a recommended place and put the mess back together. Any ideas where I can get a pic of that J870 wrench [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

Hi guys my radiator is leaking and it is the original 63 year old radiator.
I also have trouble when driving on the highway it will get up to 200
degrees before I slow down and let it cool off.
I am considering either buying a new radiator or recoreing the original. My
problem with recoreing the original is that I'm concerned there will be
spots in the metal where it has corroded the metal thin and is about to
spring another leak right after it gets recored.
What are your guys thoughts on a recore vs new (non aluminum) radiator?
Also will the desert cooler radiator from classic parts fit a 235 in a 50
chevy with a short shaft water pump?
Thanks,
Luke

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Coils - Argghhh
I think you're over thinking the whole deal. These are not rocket science and trying to make them rocket science is a waste. Just get a 6 volt coil from Chev's of the 40's or place that specializes in that sort of thing and bolt it up. You want enough spark to fire the plug, but especially on a babbitt engine, a massive spark, and other high performance add ons could result in premature engine wear. --- On Thu, 4/4/13, Roy rmark...@cox.net wrote: From: Roy rmark...@cox.net Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Coils - Argghhh To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com, old_chevroletgmctru...@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, April 4, 2013, 6:23 AM I switched my electrical system back to 6 volts and so bought a new 6 volt coil from one of the vendors.

[old-chevy-truck] My trip to St. Joe part 3
Just to give some more background on this truck, my dad bought it in 1960 when I was 2. It had 29000 miles on it then. He took it to Reno, NV from Jamesport, MO. Since then it has been on numerous trips, about 40 miles woth. It has had a few engines and transmissions and a rear end out of a 57 Chevy van. We have pictures of it inside the tree at Yosimite, on the continental divide, etc. Once in 1968 it pulled a trailer from Reno to Jamsport, MO with mom driving as dad drove a Ford 2 ton ahead with a trailer and that was a move. So this has always been a well cared for work truck. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

[old-chevy-truck] worn front axle possibilities
I have had that happen. I ended up using the axle and spindles on a trailer. I don't think the spindle is cast, but still needs to be round to accept the king pin bushing and pin and have the repair last. Ebay can be a venue for replacement spindles, and you might call Jim Carter and/or Chev's of the forties and see if they have odds and ends, not listed in any catalog but around. The backing plate bolts for a 49 wil be smaller than the 51-55 but should work OK at the kingpin side and if you want to use discs anyway.well, what I know now I would. What I am wondering about.and I will change the thread title alittle so as to avoid hijacking your thread, would the disc brake rotors off a 6 lug late model Chevy truck work on a disc brake conversion. I was checking the parking lot last night at work. Security check, but usually I get bored and count Cadillacs. None in employee parking I might add...anyway I noticed a 2008? Chevy Tahoe with 6 lug wheels. Kind of made me start the wheels turning, not that I would want that wheel, but would it be the same pattern for an upgrade on a 51? --- On Sun, 10/21/12, corval...@peoplepc.com corval...@peoplepc.com wrote: From: corval...@peoplepc.com corval...@peoplepc.com Subject: RE: [old-chevy-truck] Re: worn front axle To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, October 21, 2012, 10:47 AM So the king pin wore thru the bushing and into the steel. They're charging you for building that up with weld, milling it out and then doing the bushing work. You might shop a replacement casting on eBay.

While it is a half ton truck, it uses a 2 ton flywheel with the bolt holes all the way out at the end of the flywheel. I had noticed an occasional clutch chatter and sure enough the springs were loose. The transmission I changed out my dad installed in the mid sixties. It had over 300,000 miles on it. --- On Fri, 9/7/12, corval...@peoplepc.com corval...@peoplepc.com wrote: From: corval...@peoplepc.com corval...@peoplepc.com Subject: RE: [old-chevy-truck] Clutch and pressure plate To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, September 7, 2012, 6:44 PM Can you position the pressure plate with a few bolts screwed into the top of the pressure plate; may need longer than stock bolts.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Re : Re Awakening
OK I can be wrong so anybody knows better chime in. You need a test light which still can be had for less than a 5 spot in most places. Clamp the clip to a good not corroded ground. So when you touch the tip to the post on the starter you should have a light. When you touch the tip to the coil on the positive side you should have a light with the ignition switch on. When you touch the tip to the lead on the side of the distributor, you should have a light with the switch on. Don't worry about the condenser on the coil. It's only function was to make the radio sound better, which you don't have anyway. So if you have fire to the points o you have a better idea what don't need fixed.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] 1948 Chevy Loadmaster/Boyer Fire Engine Restoration.
Lessee.I can see that your lines have been molested. I would put a glass bowl fuel filter directly in front of the carb. What is that thing on top of the water outlet? I see you have a radiator shroud. A rare accessory but it will be the male offspring of a sinful rebellious woman who complains alot..or the vernacular there of.to change your belt or do anything with the waterpump.. If you have a tubing bender and a double flaring tool it is simple to make the fuel and vacuum lines like original. That thing that connects to the oil filler on the valve covernot sure what that is. I just put a 52 engine out of an old oil distributor in my 48 2 ton grain truck. The decal on the valve cover is in readable shape. It said Loadmaster 105. I can take a picture of it with my phone if you want. I'd love to find another decal to restore that valve cover..

What other simple things can I do as an inexperienced person to increase the chance of the truck actually starting when I put the battery in? Is it a good idea to use startup fluid? Should I hit the carb with a bunch of Gunk remover? Also, there isn't a lot of rust on the body, but there are some ugly spots.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] oil pan
Well, the bad news is that when I filled the oil and connected a drill to the oil pump, it began throwing oil from somewhere in the viscinity of the flywheel. This engine is OPJ ( officially pronounced junk and will receive no further attention other than its removal and dismantling. I will go with the better of two '54 engines sitting in the garage sans heads. One is pretty oily and the other I can still see the blue. But someone put the wrong harmonic balancer on it and may have messed up the crank. Will my pushrods interchange? or the head and rockers? Is there a procedure? A timeline of procedures involved in a major overhaul? A recommended series of dismantling and renovation? Oddly enough I don't feel pissed as I properly should, though the prospect of transmission, engine removal replacement is not an attractive one. - [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

I started in on the shed today. There are three 4 speed transmissions sitting in the doorway, and I would like to keep one and the rest are going out.. I pulled out a good splash pan for behind the grille upper and lower. I am starting to feel how some of these people feel on the reality shows. You know it has to go as there is not enough room but keep inventing excuses to hold on alittle longer. The splash pan.trade straight across for an oil pan for 56 or later 235. I figure it will cost me to ship and it will cost you to ship. Anybody need a wheel for a David Bradley tractor? In other news, I brazed up the rust holes on the oil pan I had. It still leaks, but I can't tell if it's leaking at the plug or if I messed a spot. I may put some JB weld on there too, but this pan will have to get me by till I can find a good one. What is the torque setting for an oil pan bolt? I generally go 15 ft# so I don't over tighten, but what is everyone else doing?

[old-chevy-truck] Oil pressure line fittings
I got my new oil pressure lines from Chevs of the Forties. The kit consists of a coil of tubing and some fittings, which I assume are for other models besides my own. My 48 2 ton uses the type that had pointed ends. The ends on the old line would not come off the line. I'm not sure how to do the install and no instructions came with the kit. Do you just put the line into the fitting,leaving alittle stickout, and screw it into the gage and oil fitting as far as it will go and tighten? Or is there some type of trick to this type of fitting? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

Re: [old-chevy-truck] engine removal
I got in on this thread late. Sounds to me like the engine is toast. I am still in Northwest MO and I have a 235 block out of a 54 engine I'd give you just to make space if you were nearby enough to make it practical. I've pulled a few engines and it takes more time but fewer valium and tylenol to first remove the transmission and then the engine, unless you have the cab off, too. The hood usually has tocome off as well as the radiator and the radiator support. I have seen removals where the radiator support top piece was cut, but I don't like to do it that way.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Rear Ends
Why in the world would you want to? You would still have an enclosed driveshaft, an obsolete rear end, brake pad issues, etc. Why not just get a rearend off an open drive line vehicle such as a '69 Chevy half ton. Get some pads, be sure and use a n adapter plate to get the rear end to sit where it should, get the back plate off a 2 ton or 3/4 ton truck. Bolts right up on a 4 speed. My dad did that in the early seventies. The GPS says I'm doing about 60 and not putting too much strain on the engine. Speedo says I'm going faster, haven't conquered that one yet, but the GPS keeps me from donating to the state. --- On Thu, 5/26/11, Green, Steven D. sgr...@ku.edu wrote: From: Green, Steven D. sgr...@ku.edu Subject: RE: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Rear Ends To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, May 26, 2011, 9:36 AM I read a tech article some guy wrote on sticking a 1950-1954 Chevy car rear axle (from a powerglide equipped car) underneath a 1946 and older Chevy pickup.

Actually, it was more like -- fell off. I stuck a probe into the hole, expecting to feel the hard end of the broken plug, and only found the hole to be filled with a black ooze. It has sat overnight, and what has accumulated on the floor looks to be part coolant and part, well, not.

Would it make a difference in the '57 GMC engine if that special headbolt that has a hole in it going out through the side were not where it is supposed to be. When I redid the head on dad's 51 Chevy I put that bolt back where it came out, seems like it was in the number one or two spot. It had a groove in the top.

A 57 235 would have been hydraulic lifters, but I can not say what GMC had. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Alternator not charging
I use a DA plug from Patrick's. One wire goes back into the alternator, I think the yellow one goes up to where the bat wire was on the voltage regulator. The other two wires from the voltage regulator get hooked together. The directions come with the DA plug. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

[old-chevy-truck] electricals
Who isn't talking about trucks?I pulled the saddle tank off my parts 2 ton to put behind the one on my 48 2 tonand it is too long and will have to go on the other side! I, too have an electric tank switcher and I think it does go to the fuel gage which will have a runtz resistor. I am considering the possibility of installing a modern fuse box under the black fuse box cover so it looks stock unless you take the fuse cover off. Has anyone tried this caper or am I pioneering?

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Re: trumpet horns
Thanks. That cleared things up some. The one set of horns I took off a '49 Chevy truck in a snow storm back in 88. They were on the driver side fender well and the wire did indeed go inside. The set that was on my 2 ton...they were on angle brackets mounted to the firewall, clearly not stock. The part that does look stock is a flattish mount , but with the leaker (the temperature control for the fresh air heater) in place there would be no way to mount it on the 48 2 ton on the firewall that I can see. So the question becomes how did the trumpet horns mount on a '48 2 ton?

OEM there are differences between years and between chevy/GMC. early up till the 49 year split the horns were on passenger side firewall above heater. then im not sure where they moved to. also there were the ones mounted to intake manifold. you can tell years apart by wiring too. early had wire going into interior of horn. later years had an external lug to bolt wire to. years vary based on mounting bracket shape and configuration. my 55.5 has a pair of horns the when mounted, curl and face forward on either side of radiator. they are a left and a right-not to be swapped.

[old-chevy-truck] Spindle wheel bearing interaction
The daggone inner wheel bearing won't go over my spindle on my 48 Chevy 2 ton. I blued everything up and it seems to be a problem of the spindle is simply too large for the new bearing by enough to where it won't go on. Did they make bearings that way in the days of old so they would have to be machined for a precise fit? This is a NOS bearing. There is no way to take the truck or the axle to a macchinist now. The bearings fits the hub but not the spindle though the old one fit right. The old one was so pitted I couldn't believe the wheel turned at all! How can I correct this so the bearing will fit properly? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Re: June's New Truck
I have some experience with mousey trucks. First wear gloves and a face mask. Eye protection wouldn't hurt either when handling those seats. They need to go to bare springs and a trip to the car wash or sandblaster wouldn't hurt. The area under the seat will need cleaned out as well and de rusted and repainted. How is it under the headliner and in the posts by the windshield? It's downright hard to get the mouse smell out of a truck. Mothballs will help keep the mice out in the future.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Brake troubles.
A '53 would have the bendix style brakes. I have had similar problems getting the shoe off, but the lining must have plenty of meat left. You might could get away with using soap as a lubricant, oil I wouldn't use unless the shoes were getting replaced anyway. If you ever get the shoe off, the self adjusting brake hardware off a 69 half ton will be a drop in fit and save you from having to adjust brakes. I have been running this setup for years now without ever having to manually adjust the brakes. Of course I put some never seez on the threads of the starwheel adjuster so that it wouldn't lock up from corrosion.

That is probably the case if the drums can be wiggled a little but not removed. If the drum turns but cannot be wiggled at all, it probably is rusted to the axle flange in back, or the hub in front. Some PB Blaster Penetrating Catalyst squirted around the base of the studs and allowed to sit overnight might do the trick. Good Luck!

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Harmonic balancer installation
My dad always used a rawhide mallet. You don't do any damage to the balancer that way.

That said, I have kept my yap shut about how I feel about political and war stuff. I reckon if it were my group I would speak my mind, but I'm a guest here. Am I wrong in assuming that this thread gives us license to speak our mind as well? Maybe it should be a once a year thing. Mr. moderator has been real good about keeping the spam down. Maybe the concept that we discuss strictly Old Chevy trucks is in conflict with basic human nature and too formal for a friendly list that we are. Anyone have tips on mounting Fentons with a stock mainifold? I have an aluminum plate that was for water but I want to exhaust gas cool it by using compression elbows.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] vin plate
There are so many gray areas to obtain a title. Having a receit for each and every part as in home built motorcycles, ITS title service. I'd be afraid to sell you a vin plate as this would make me an accessory to something. Door sill plates can be had at any restoration place, number stamps from any machinist supply place. I had my old engine and the title with numbers on it. I took it to the highway patrol, got a receit for the new engine showed them what I had and they issued me a VIN of the 17 digit type, so my '49 with '52 cab is titled legit. The truck was also put together from scrap parts. Find an engine that is blown or throwed a rod, stuck and as long as the title matches the number, you can title. No need to risk impoundment by phonying up a door sill plate.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] 261 full flow question
OK The oil pressure gage sender hooks on at the lower side of the block in the back. Sometimes you have to add a fitting or a tee, but this is the the supply side. The supplied side is in the side of the block and you have to remove a plug. Why do you need a dual spin on filter when only about 10% of the oil gets filtered? Are you running a PCV in conjunction with the filter? Mr. Gasket makes a spin on adapter that has an arrow to indicate flow. otherwise the oil goes through the middle of the filter,, through the fabric, and the outer side is going bck to the engine. neals49 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am finishing up my current sit up, adding a dual spin on oil filter I have left over from a old project, anyway does anyone know which is the output hole for the oil lines?

Re: [old-chevy-truck] `Vent window posts
Sorry, I know we're friendly here and that's how I like it. Thanks for the info. some call me the Coroner (it's a long story about how I knew most of the lines from the Wizard of Oz and could do a prety good munchkin Coroner), some call me Sweetie the Swede, if I had my way I'd be on the road and driver would sound sweet. Roy Marks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You have the right idea about getting the vent window out of the frame. You have to grind off the little rivet. Most of the vendors like Classic Parts have a rivet and tool kit to put one back in. A little bit of a pain but it works. Get new channels, rubber, etc. from Steele rubber. Log onto eastwood.com for some really great coatings (and tools). You can clean up the doors the best you can then use Eastwoods rust converter inside the door to stabilize the rust that you can't get at, then use Eastwood's rust encapsulator to coat whats left and prevent future rust. This is all on the inside of the door I am talking about. Then patch the holes at the bottom interior side of the door and coat it with a little encapsulator before you prime. The division post can be cleaned up and painted with Eastwood's gloss chassis black. This stuff is the most durable paint I have ever seen. I am not trying to plug Eastwood but I have been extremely happy with their products. BTW..we sorta like to see a name at the bottom of a post. We're a friendly bunch.

Truck stops have parts, but the elusive mounts that go on the doorThe inside has rust at the bottom in the usual weatherstrip spot, and the outer reveal window moulding has a big dent. I have removed the door vent division post and have new glass more or less sitting in place to help keep rain out for the time being. So what is the best way to go about restoring the division post? It has some rust, the rubber is shot,and I don't think you can duplicate that type of paint unless maybe powder coating abut I live in the sticks and don't see too many powder coaters. How do you get the vent glass out? Do you just grind the rivet to get the vent frame out or is there a trick? Should I just yank the whole door and get it sandblasted and welded and then put it back? How would a seasoned restorer go about it bearing in mind the economy ain't so great?
