Re: [old-chevy-truck] RE: oiling
Robert I just cut the line and spliced with rubber gas line hose with hose clamps on each end. Then just went and got a clear plastic gas filter from the FLAPS.

[old-chevy-truck] Truck Noise
Hi All I think I posted something on this a few months ago. I continue to have a noise that I believe is coming from the lower part of my engine - maybe in the oil pan area. The noise is a rattle or bang that is pretty noisy when I first start the engine but decreases as I rev the engine but then returns at idle. I have a 1954 full pressure 235. The oil pressure remains normal even when driving the truck and the temp is ok. Can an oil pump make this sort of noise? The engine was completely rebuilt about 2000 miles ago by a top notch mechanic. I've added a link to a youtube video so that everyone can listen to the noise. You'll hear a slight pinging but it's the banging noise that has me concerned. Here's the link: http://youtu.be/irrv-cUrsV4 Thanks for everyone's help. Ken 1950 3100 Deluxe
Re: [old-chevy-truck] Truck Noise

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Wiring Harness Recommendations ??
Years ago when restoring my '50 truck, I bought the basic wiring harness from Chevy Duty (now Classic Chevy Truck Parts of America). It was $99 and it worked perfectly. Extremely easy installation with labeled wires, schematic, etc. Been driving the truck for the past 8 years with no issues what so ever. It's not cloth insulated like original (this one is plastic insulation) so if you're a true purist it might not work for you, but it's a nice harness.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] to restore or not to restore - just getting started
Dave I'm going to lean with the guys that say keep it original. There are a few things that you can do to make it more drivable while still maintaining the originality of the truck. Put radial tires on it - far improves the ride. Consider changing the rear end gear ratio to something along the lines of 3:55-1 for ease of highway driving. You might even go so far as converting to front disk brakes. Otherwise, keep 'er stock!!

This looks darker than the Hirsch paint, which is too dark. I was told by an old timer that there was some variation in the gray that was applied at the different factories, and while the darker can be acceptable, many Chevy strict constructionists might not agree.

Does the starter turn the engine over at a “normal” rate, but the engine just doesn’t start? You do have decent sized battery cables ( 00 gauge, both of them ) and the negative cable is attached to the engine block, preferably at one of the starter mounting bolts, I assume.

This information was on the original title, which was signed over to this Kansas boy at Virgil's estate auction on April 22, 2010. Virgil farmed, and being a man who lived through the worst of the dustbowl, took care of his stuff. His pickup was in the barn every night. He serviced the engine, which runs as smooth today as the day he drove it home. The original wood is still in the bed, in excellent condition. Glove box, headliner, gauges, spare tire carrier, heater, sheet metalall there because Virgil took care of it. The leather tool pouch was probably sold in a box of miscellaneous stuff because I didn't know they existed. I guess I'm feeling a bit nostalgic tonight because this 3600 is just on the verge of turning over the 100,000 mile mark. 1600 miles per year average. It probably never went much further than the 10 miles to Alva to unload some wheat or bring home some parts. I'm guessing it spent a lot of time in granny gear, running along side a combine as it unloaded wheat into the bed. I was born March 1, 1951, and I hope I'm in as good of shape, even though I know that my new truck will likely outlive me. So after a couple of years of tinkering, reading, and learning so much about this great series, I have also learned to appreciate how much knowledge is out there on this forum, and for how you so willingly share it. This spring, I will start the process of completely disassembling it, making each part look new, and putting it back together. I hope all of you can endure my many questions. I assure you I am grateful. Fahrbach '51 3600 Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

I just found a 12 volt tester in my tool kit. Guess I'll need to go out and buy a 6 volt one. Now, one question. I'm doing all this by myself. The Truck has a push starter, and it's hard to sit stomping on the starter and tweak the engine at the same time. I guess I could do a dead-man's setup, pushing the starter down with a block of wood, then hooking up and unhooking the battery to get things running. That would enable me to get things rumbling, jump to the engine compartment, then jump back to the battery. I appreciate all of you help me climb my learning curve. It's steep one, as you can guess.

However, I didn't dampen mine. What I did do was this. First, I put the rear metal strip in place but with just a few screws and turned the screws in only far enough to hold it. Then I made sure the metal bow was open enough on both sides to slip over the cardboard. I put the bow on the rear piece and clamped it on the cardboard. Next, I sat on the seat withthe cardboard on my lap then raised it over my head and pushed it into the rear metal strip. I checked for fit and tucked things in on the sides. Finally, I pushed the front piece into the bow and fit it in the front, tucking things in. It wasn't as easy as it sounds but it wasn't really hard, either. One other bit of advice.

Any any advice on installing the new door rubber into the channel on the cab?

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] classic parts service
I've not had any dealings with them in some time but a couple of years back I was ordering stuff from them on what seems like a weekly basis. Had no problems with service or delivery.

I contacted him and he gave me the names of two guys that he taught the process to. One guy's name is Jack Brewer and his # is 817-727-9185 and the other guy is Mike Schmidt and his # is 817-528-2815. Both of these guys live in the Ft Worth Tx area.

I have posted an album with before and after pictures. It's named Mikes 1940 half ton. This was a 5 or 6 year spare time project. I had never tackled anything like this before, so I'm a little proud of it, and have had a ball driving it around. Before the snow came, my wife and I were driving it everywhere. It has proven to be completely reliable so far. I have counted heavily on this list to help me, and I appreciate you guys tolerating my sometimes dumb questions, and for the great help and answers. When I bought this truck, I also got a lot of spare used parts with it. That proved to be really helpful. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. Congressional Reform Act of 2011 1. Term Limits. 12 years only, one of the possible options below.. A. Two Six-year Senate terms B. Six Two-year House terms C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms 2. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office. 3. Congress (past, present future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. 4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Maybe it is time. THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

Give a big Hoo-ah! to the US Navy and the Army Doolittle Crews for their raid. What courage, what uncommon bravery. Yet note the author's assertion: They simply did their job. Each of them felt that they were in the company of heroes, but not a hero themselves. This is a great read. It was a different time, though not necessarily a time of lesser danger than now. We simply responded to an attack on America by declaring total war on the perpetrators and their allies and pursued them until their capacity to make war was totally destroyed. We were a bold and great people then. Today about half the population acts like a pathetic bunch of PC-whimps! Compare Pre-revolutionary France [of the late 18th Century]: Now our Secretary of State acts like Talleyrand, our President acts like Louis XVI, his Wife acts like Marie Antoinette, and the Congress acts like the useless Estates General. The King dismissed Patriots like Lafayette who wanted to create a free France, but the collectivists, revolutionaries, and anarchists of the day had different ideas and brought mayhem and destruction. Ten years later Napoleon ruled France as a total dictator and roamed Europe trampling other nation states under foot almost at will. The aftermath of Napoleon's defeat created a vacuum, fertile ground for Karl Marx [1818-83] and his theories to take root. We have been fighting communism ever since. Read an unbiased history to discover what happened to all these folks... it is worth your time! But I digress Our pathetic, Left-dominated education system fails to tell the stories of these old warriors ... or for that matter, old warriors from Korea, Viet Nam, the Hot-Cold Wars of the 60s,70s 80s, GWI and GWII, and Afghanistan. Our children [some even well into their 50s] have absolutely no sense of the sacrifices it takes to keep us free, and have only known the good life. Is it any wonder that the country languishes in 10% unemployment, but won't take those measures that will turn this country back into the engine of freedom in the world. Fewer than 1/3 [like Steny Hoyer] of our Congress Members have ever served in the military. Very few of those who served are combat veterans. Men under 55 year of age were not subject to the draft. Fewer than 7%-10% of men [depending on age group] under 55 are veterans. This is a pathetic statement of willingness to support and defend the Constitution and our Republic. It would seem that most talk about giving back to our Country did not apply to military service. Compare this to the 70+% who served during the WWII, Korea, and Vietnam era. Draw your own conclusions about the future of America if the Progressives finish their agenda of social engineering in the USA. wrm _ Should be required reading for all Americans Great first-hand account of an important event in WWII history.

My friends call me Mac. I was born and raised in Ennis , Texas the youngest of five children, son of Harry and Jennie McElroy. Folks say that I was the quiet one. We lived at 609 North Dallas Street and attended the Presbyterian Church. My dad had an auto mechanic's shop downtown close to the main fire station. My family was a hard working bunch, and I was expected to work at dad's garage after school and on Saturdays, so I grew up in an atmosphere of machinery, oil and grease. Occasionally I would hear a lone plane fly over, and would run out in the street and strain my eyes against the sun to watch it. Someday, that would be me up there! I really like cars, and I was always busy on some project, and it wasn't long before I decided to build my very own Model-T out of spare parts. I got an engine from over here, a frame from over there, and wheels from someplace else, using only the good parts from old cars that were otherwise shot. It wasn't very pretty, but it was all mine. I enjoyed driving on the dirt roads around town and the feeling of freedom and speed. That car of mine could really go fast, 40 miles per hour!

Re: [old-chevy-truck] 1954 Chevy 1/2 Ton Electrical Question
Hey Ron Good luck on the project. Nothing like when you hear the old engine fire up for the first time. There's a wiring diagram in the Group files section - you may want to check it out. One of the first things I did to my '50 AD was to install a new wiring harness. At the time most of the vendors sold them for about $100 and it gave me some piece of mind that I wouldn't have to deal with shorts (fires!) or the like. Keep us posted.

When I bought it this spring, it was some what in pieces with no battery, coil, carb or generator. Starter and radiator were not installed. I have a carb now and I think I can use the battery and coil from the 49 3/4T Chevy I also own, just to see if I can get a fire from the old 235. Now my question is, if I am correct in assuming the truck is in fact a negative ground. My understanding is that the Chevy's are negative ground but the GMC's were positive ground? Also any other sage advice as I try to get the thing to run? The engine is not stuck, I know, but I did have someone tell to be sure to oil the rockers before starting it to make sure they are well lubed, since it takes the oil pump a bit to get oil up to the rockers after the engine starts. Oh, and I was quite pleased and not totally surprised to the find the ignition key from the 49 fits the 54. One more thing I won't have to search for to get the truck going.

No tire pick up, no damage from dropping tools or chipping. We get snow around here every now and then so we tend to track some of the sand they use for intersections in and as long as I wash it off it holds. The only thing is that it has lost some of the sheen due to the cleaner I use; Oil Eaters. It cost me about $300 to cover a 3 car garage plus prep expenses. In my opinion the secret to a lasting coating is on the prep work, which requires a good degreaser, acid to etch the concrete after a good clean up and lots of elbow grease, be prepared to lose a few pound doing the prep work. Stay away from the crap stuff they sell at Home Depot, just find your local Sherwin Williams store and get it there. I think the product that I got is called tile clad or something like that.

I would advise to see a sample of their work before I sent them anything.

[old-chevy-truck] Re: Heater control valve
Re: Heater control valve Chris There was both the recirulating type heater and the fresh air heater. The recirculating type was somewhat round and mounted directly to the firewall. The fresh air type is larger and mounts on the upper passenger kick panel where a metal plate is located attached by 6 screws. It also has two mounting points on the firewall. The fresh air heater draws air from the outside through the passenger cowl vent. I've attached 3 pics of a heater I restored for my '50 3100. HTH.
