RE: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Over heated my engine and now it stays hot?

[corvallis]

I have never seen a water pump shaft break, but they are case-hardened so a
crack could develop. The weep hole usually tells you when the
water-resistant packing material has given up the ghost. Water pumps can be
rebuilt. You should be able to find rebuilt ones at NAPA and the like. Some
of them are engine block specific so take yours in and match it up to what
is being offered. …bill

Hi,
Yes, I put in the thermostat in. I am wondering how pumps fail. 
Does the shaft break free from the impeller and so the impeller no 
longer spins with the shaft? I think these pumps have weep holes 
when they fail, not sure how that works either but my pump is not 
leaking.

Thanks,
rene

I would post the trans and diff casting numbers here. Some members know that
stuff off the top of their head.

I can search with those numbers. Lots of databases for engine and head

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Stuck Transmission

[corvallis]

I have seen the pilot shaft freeze into the inner race of a pilot bearing,
on a different make of vehicle. The solution was usually to cut into the
bell housing and torch off the pilot shaft; I was able to rock the trans
enough to break the inner bearing race and the ball bearing dribble out
allowing trans removal.

Is the pilot bearing here a ball bearing with inner and outer races, or a
bronze sleeve? .bill

Assuming that you have everything unbolted and out of the way, then its
remotely possible that the transmission input shaft splines are corroded or
extremely dirty and are making it difficult to slide the trans out of the
clutch splines. Possible maybe but not likely. How far has the trans slid
out so far? Are you making sure that the weight of the trans is not hanging
on the input shaft as you are trying to pull it out? Got all four trans to
bell bolts out? 4 speed or 3? 

You do not need to pull the fork and its impossible to remove the clutch
until you get the trans out of the way.

Hey All. My 1952 Chevy Truck has the 213 engine. Oil was leaking from 
the front seal. I replaced the seal and sleaved the balancer. When I 
had the balancer off, I found that the balancer was not the correct one 
for this engine. The belt pully was narrow on the balancer and the 
water and generator pully was the larger one. I called around and got 
the correct balancer. I had it sleeved also. Well, tonight when I tried 
to put the new balancer on, it won't go on all the way. It stops right 
where the sleeve begins to enter the seal. I recently found out that 
the engine is out of a 48-49 truck and not a 1952 216. Did they change 
anything on the 1952 vs 48-49 engines? I can not figure out why the 
balancer refuses to move any further. Any ideas?

It is a sintered bronze bushing .

Most of the time you can work a long pry bar up in there and work the 
tranny loose if you're young & strong , you'll need a helper and be 
_SURE_ to screw a couple studs into the upper two tranny ears so when 
that beast finally pops loose it doesn't crash down on you and 
shatter your hand or break your wrist ~ no joke here .

You can rock , shake & bounce the tranny _violently_ to work it 
loose , you're not going to hurt it and even if you manage to do so , 
it's junk already , cherry used ones are cheap or free .

Are you replacing the oil seal there? Some suggest keeping the front cover
loose until you've installed the balancer to allow the seal to center on the
shoulder of the balancer. .bill

I don't know but the reason has to be dead simple ~ look down inside 
the new balancer and measure it with some calipers to see if it's got a

I have a very, very small gas tank leak on my farm tractor. As I was
talking to the local tank repair shop he mentioned to me that gas
bought from a service station was very unstable and that in as little
as one month it breaks down into a benzene compound that "rots" your
tank. He stated that "farm gas" does not have this same stability
problem. He stated that you could buy a stabilizer that prevented the
break down. Now I certainly have heard that gas will get "bad", but
this is the first I have heard that it is corrosive enough to damage
the gas tank. Can anyone confirm or refute the 30 day time frame and
the corrosive nature? I may have to really change the way I treat my
old truck and my other infrequently used vehicles.

Thanks

1947-55 2-ton is Chevy part no. 3683223

 

I Googled this and parts123.com lists it, but don't exactly say they have
it.

http://www.parts123.com/index/parts123-index2041.htm

 

Do a search down for 3683223 (about 1/3rd of the way) and click on More
Info/Purchase.

Click on Price/Availability lookup.

 

That opens up an email to them. Ask them for price and availability .and
hope.

Well, we sold her motorcycle last week because she can no longer 
ride it, so she had this wad of cash in her pocket burning holes. 2 
days later she went out while I was @ work, & bought me a little 95 
S-10 4 cyl 5 spd pickup to use as an economical runabout, for $600, 
well kept looking at that, unexpected but nice. 
Then, the next day I was out working in my workshop rediscovering my 
workbench, she comes striding out of the house all grins and 
says "Hey, I just found this 51 Chevy truck on C/L for $250!"
I'm thinking, ok, rusted out half assembled parts rig. I look at it 
and the pics looked really clean, she mentions she already called 
the guy and he's holding it for us. I picked it up yesterday, man oh 
man did she buy me a steal of a deal! One little tiny section of 
light paint bubbling in the left rear corner, NO dents/dings or rust 
otherwise, all there, on a non op, with clean title, and even has a 
nice spotlight on it bearing "GM" on the top little ribbed lamp ring 
cap. Someone converted it to 12v and installed a 400 small block in 
it. I started trying to revive the brakes yesterday, if I can get 
them to pump up enough to run around the yard, it'll only take me a 
couple hours to make the engine run. I am stoked! I got to looking 
at the front yard yesterday evening, and all the trucks scattered 
around the yard, I need to knock some of those rocks out of the way 
so I can just make a big lineup of all the old Chevy's and take a 
sunset pic looking out over the valley with the trucks in the 
foreground, I thank that'd be a sweet picture.

Kenneth,

Thank you for the lead. I called them and they said they can put another
coat of chrome over the top of the emblems, but won't take care of any pits
or defects (sort of like putting lipstick on a pig). I'm going to pull the
emblems and put them on a polishing wheel, perhaps this will clean them up
enough.

These sound like the running boards used on cab and chassis 
vehicles , like flat beds , dump trucks and the like .

They're very rare to find in good condition . work up some pix and 
post a link to them (you cannot add pix in yahoo groups) and I'm 
sure you'll easily re-sell them or maybe even swap for pickup runnng 
boards .

It depends on what brake drums you need ~ Huck brakes (two adjusters 
at tops of shoes) or Bendix brakes (one adjuster at the bottom) are 
completely different .

If you have Bendix brakes , they're available pretty much anywhere as 
they were used up to the 1967 model year , 6 lugs and all .

Huck brake drums , OTOH , are currently only available chinese made 
and they're no good , better to find a good used one and remember to 
never , _EVER_ turn your brake drums unless you have pedal pulsation .

Doesn't matter. They are left and right thread, opposite ends, so that when
you adjust your toe-in by twisting the tie-rod, both ends are moving in/out
together.

Keep asking. Here is a picture, but it only shows one side.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] '48 235

[corvallis]

Well, if it is stock (unlikely) you have a 216. You may want to fine the
head casting number and the block casting number (not the VIN) by the
starter, and flash it up here. Someone could have transplanted a more modern
engine in there. 

Distributor should be turning clockwise. Cylinders are numbered one thru
six, starting at the front of the truck. 1-5-3-6-2-4 is the firing order. 

Plug gap is 0.040" and points gap is 0.018"

Original plugs were AC-M84 but this crosses to Autolite 3138. Some of this
will depend on the size motor you have so flash us those casting numbers.

Just remembered; I have a '48 in my 1937. .bill

RE: [old-chevy-truck] '48 235

Ok; I was looking in my car book. You could have a 235 in a 2-ton. Plugs
then would be 0.035" and points could be 0.018 to 0.015"

Be sure you have fresh gas in there. My 1948 block runs rough but I think
some of the valve seats are rusted, carb needs a rebuild, or piston rings.

After sitting so long, the main thing I'd do is disassemble and clean
the carburetor. The basic adjustments listed is also a must. I have a
'48 COE and the fuel system was my major hurdle. After that, the 235
ran fine (assuming your 2 ton is still stock it will have a dipper 235
as folks have pointed out). Also, is it a GMC? If so, it's a 270, not
a 235.

Good luck.

You might also want to check your vacuum advance, There could be a line
running from the base of the carb to the distributor. The oblong hole that
the butterfly shaft runs through can be rebushed and reamed out to fit a new
shaft. You may want to consider buying a rebuilt carb at NAPA, or such.

not getting a good shot down the throat of the car for acceleration. 
The idle problem could and probbaby is the throttle shaft is leaking 
air.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] '46 Truck Questions

[corvallis]

Looking in Sixty Years Of Chevrolet by George Dammann, I see no hood
ornaments on the half-ton trucks from 1941 thru 1946. Most there are
drawings though.  .bill

Life continues apace .

The rear motor mounts bolt to the bell housing and then have a 
vertical bolt through them , there's supposed to be a sheet metal 
spacer made of steel tubing ut it's usually gone missing .

I've never seen a '41 ~ '47.1 hood ornament , doesn't man there 
wasn't one , prolly any from late 30's Chevy passenger cars with 
butterfly hoods will fit easily enough .

46 truck questions 

hi Nate

How's life in CA??

Regarding a 46 1/2 ton truck (as in prior emails):

a) did they have a hood ornament? if so what other years have the 
same ones?

b) what bolts or plates hold on the rear motor mounts?? We have new 
motor mounts
from on-line but not sure of how they attach to the frame

thanks!

john

Hey All
Just wanted to say thanks for all of the advise! I checked the rocker 
arms and found 2 - 3 exhaust valves out of specs. So, I heated the 
engine up and re-adjusted the valves that were off to book specs. I 
also replaced the points and rotor and cleaned the spark plugs. She 
purrs!!! The only thing I noticed is when she is setting at idle, 
there is a slight miss from time to time. Being 38 and growing up in 
the fuel injection age, I don't know if the slight miss at idle is 
normal. Any suggestions?

Hey All, I thought I had this beaten but found out I don't. I have a 
Rochester 1 bbrl carb on my 52. Earlier this year it started flooding 
out so bad gas was pouring through the weep hole. Took it apart and she 
was pretty nasty. Cleaned it up really good, put it back together and 
it did the same thing. Took it apart again and found a little more junk 
on top of the needle valve. Cleaned it up again, readjusted the float, 
took the gas tank out, flushed the tank clean, replaced all of the 
rubber hoses, and added a new filter system. Put it all back together, 
put in new gas and transmission fluid in the gas to keep the carb 
clean, drove excellent for a few days then flooded again. Each time it 
floods so much that it kills the engine dead and gas pours through the 
weep hole. I can't figure it out. Any thoughts on this?

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Fuel Tank liner.

The feelings on the American Motorcycle Club of America site is that modern
gasoline will dissolve all gas tank liners and some non-metallic carb
floats. I'd just put a couple fuel filters in the line just as it comes out
of the gas tank. Napa has those that can be taken apart, cleaned and reused.

Do the new products such as Kreem; http://www.kreempro

Or are they a bandage to avoid?

Bill in Oregon may have a point that needs considering. I'm assuming that he
is talking about "modern fuels" as in the recent (recent in our terms)
addition of ethanol to the mix. Maybe we'll hear from someone who has seen a
liner failure that was supposedly/allegedly caused by the gasoline blend. In
my particular area, we have just started with a 10 percent maximum allowable
fuel mix in the regular pump gas. At least they are just starting to label
the pumps anyway to inform that the fuels may contain a max of 10 percent
ethanol.

with a 1967.  Loosen the wheel nuts several turns but don't take them off.
Then drive around and around the block trying to drop the rear wheel into
every pothole you can find. .bill

Hi Scott,

As Jeffrey pointed out, if the drums turn they are not 
stuck to the shoes but there still could be deep wear 
grooves trapping the drum on the shoe. 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!

When you get it to where you can work on it for a while, rebuild the
complete brake system starting with one wheel at a time. 

Also, the front drums are specific to the 1948 thru 1952.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] 6 volt vs 12volt wiring

[corvallis]

Welcome to the group. The higher the voltage the smaller the wire size can
be. I don't have exact size you could use. 

I use 14-gage for all my old stuff; I only own old stuff.

You might consider a complete wiring harness. If your gauges are behaving,
no additional bits should be needed. .bill

Happy Monday to you all.
I know it is not stock, but my 52 had been updated to 12volt with 
alternator. The only evidence I have seen of step down resistor is for 
the coil. I don't know if anything was done for the gauges. The 
headlights and tail lights are 12v.
My question(s)
1. I will be replacing the wiring piece by piece. Is there a guide for 
the wire size I should be using? Does it need to be larger for a 12v 
set up?

2. Typically what step down devices are needed for gauges and 
accessories?
Any help is appreciated. This may have been covered before but I am new.
Thanks, Ken Wagner

I forgot to add.if you're cleaning up mouse stuff, wear all the
protection you can, including a shower cap and shower as soon as you get
done, wash what you were wearing in bleach. My seats I got from my dad. They
were recovered with the same type of material used on snowmobile seats. They
have worn like iron and don't crack when you climb in the truck and it's ten
below. I got a '48 Chevy in Feb of 81. It was full of mice and I got some
kind of disease that put me out for a week or so. Don't know what it was but
I had symptoms of pox and measles. This stuff can make you sick and all
precautions you can taketake

[old-chevy-truck] sync those carbs

[corvallis]

This is what you use.

http://1800vw.bizhosting.com/uni_sync.html

The early (1965) Volvo's had dual SU carbs on them. This is what I used.
Works real good but may take a little practice.

Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Dual Carbs set up?

I have been thinking about getting a dual manifold and puting dual 
carbs on my 1952 Chevy. But, I have heard horror stories that tuning 
dual carbs are nothing but a pain in the butt. Yet, I see alot of dual 
carb set ups in the pics. Is there a meter I can use to set the carbs 
correctly if I go that way? If not, what is the secret to tuninig dual 
carbs? Is the gas milage better with dual carbs opposed to the single 
carb.?

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Re: sync those carbs

[corvallis]

It is hand held. You warm up the truck, loosen the linkage between the two
carbs, then adjust to get the air flow at the mouth of each carb to be the
same. You go back and forth between the carbs while the truck is idling
away. You're trying to get the air being sucked thru the carbs the same so
you're working between the richness screw and the idle screw.

 

1.  warm up engine

 

2.  loosen the throttle shaft couplings so the carbs are free from what the
other carb is doing

 

3.  adjust idles so carb air intake is the same, engine running (use
Unisync)

 

4.  now change the richness a bit (we're working for both carbs to have the
same idle and richness)

 

[If you open one carb's throttle a bit, and it stalls, it means the
other carb is too lean (so you'd richen it a bit)]

 

5.  adjust both carb idles so they are the same(repeat back and forth steps
4 thru 6)

 

6.  do a final idle check on both carbs using Unisync.

 

7.  tighten nuts on throttle shafts.

 

This procedure is modified from the wording I use for dual SU carb syncing.
I have not done this on dual Chevy carb setups but it should work. Others
who've done Chevys can chime in here please. .bill in oregon

Hello All,
My 51 chevy 1/2 ton has a 3 on the tree. The original screws that 
hold the shift lever on the steering column are gone. One has been 
replaced with a machine screw with matching threads and the wrong 
head, the other whole is still empty. According to the assembly 
manual (sect. 7 sheet 2.00) the part number is 451181 (Bolt). I can't 
seem to figure out what the part number is for the screw in Jim 
Carter, Classic Parts, LMC, etc. If anyone knows where I can get two 
of these, or can direct me to a website that has them I would 
appreciate it. I have the "Yoke" that holds the shift lever to the 
column, I just need the screws that hold it down. Thanks

OK for some of you purest out there you might not like this question (sorry

I want to have some tire skirts made for my 57 3100, does anyone know where
I can find someone who is capable of this type of fabrication? 

Please don't say "google it" (done that), I've also reached out to some of
the manufactures of other tire skirts and they were not interested in making
a "one off" product.

I think this product will give my truck a very nice streamlined look, and
since I'm putting in a 3" drop axel (old school drop) I thought the tire
skirts would be a nice touch.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

much advantage there is to the power booster. It makes braking easier, yes

I am not real fond of the single master cylinder setup these trucks

cylinder.
Have any of you guys done a swap like this, and if so what master cyl
did you use?

I agree with Jim ;
Re-sleeving is fine , use _brass_ not stainless , White post 
Restorations had been doing this for years and years...
Be aware that Bendix still makes the correct master cylinder for 
your truck , takes some searching to find someone with the part # , 
then it's a breeze to get .

Jim Wrote :
It has been my experience with these master cylinders that if you 
clean it up with a wire brush, you will see the bore size on the side in the

casting. I would also say, that after 57 years or so, that it's time to get 
your master sleeved with brass or stainless. There are a number of places
that 
can do this for you, for about the price of a new master from China. But 
remember, this stock master is a single line and if you have failure there
it's 
time to hope your emergency brake works! Don't cheap out on your brakes!

Well, I did some more looking around. Napa Auto also has a rebuilt
(no new) for about $55.00. Strange thing was Napa's had a pn and
photo that EXACTLY matched the pn and photo on the Kragen website. I
thought that as a general rule, Napa had higher quality parts, but
guess not...

Also looked at Autozone's site, but nothing different there, except
it's a special order.

Does anyone have a water pump manufacturer they would recommend?

RE: [old-chevy-truck] New start for an old engine.

[corvallis]

Make sure you have fresh gasoline. The stuff today can separate out after a
year or two. I use two gas filters. First one, closer to the tank is a mesh
type. This can be taken apart and cleaned of the big stuff. Second is a
plastic type with fine (paper?) element inside. Replace this when it plugs
with the small stuff. These filters don't fill up completely with running so
don't worry; it's a visual thing.

 

Turn the engine over by hand to make sure it'll go all the way ..two cycles.
If it sat with gas in the carb those ten years, there is residue in there
and that might cause starting problems as will the rust dust that is at the
bottom of the carb; the top can be taken off for a look-see. I usually fill
the carb with gas and squirt some in each cylinder before the first start.
Good luck.  .bill in oregon

I'm sure others will give you some good detailed advice but, for one, you
would want to make sure you have "clean gas".  May mean cleaning the tank
(several methods available), fuel line, etc. or at the very minimum
installing a good in-line gas filter.

I was taught to shoot some good quality low viscosity oil into each cylinder
before hand turning the engine to make sure the cylinder walls are lubed
before trying to start the engine. Next, I was taught to not send spark to
the plugs while using the starter to turn the engine for a brief moment or
two; just to make sure everything is getting oiled.

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Tail Lights

[corvallis]

I would start at your local auto parts store. You have some pieces in hand,
and this is the best way to ensure a fit.   .bill in oregon

Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Tail Lights

I got some new (classic parts of america) tail lights for christmas to fit
my 51 1/2 ton with its 
original 6v system. They came with two single filament bulbs in them. I'm
guessing one for 
brakes and one for tail lights. I want to convert to a dual filament bulb
for stop & tail and use 
the other bulb for turn lights. Where do I get the sockets? I also bought
the replacement 
bracket that holds the 21 candle power bulbs instead of the 3 cp bulbs. The
problem is that 
it's just a bracket and no sockets. Where do I get the sockets with the
wires on them? I want 
to make sure the sockets are the right size to fit the new bracket. Thanks
guys and gals

RE: [old-chevy-truck] OT : Termites ?

[corvallis]

When you get done, be sure to test for them coming back. Some places in
So.Cal. have infestations that cover miles. There are detector tubes that
are placed around to track when they come into your area. Then special
poison is put in the tubes that is carried back to the main nest(s). .bill

RE: [old-chevy-truck] Idling Your Truck

[corvallis]

Define bad. Probably better to just let her sit if you can't drive it
around. The wheels won't fall off if you idle it; that would be bad. .bill

Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Idling Your Truck

Greetings All and Happy New Year
 
Have a somewhat strange question.  A friend of mine who owns quite a few
vintage autos (none with a 6-banger) told me that he had read somewhere that
it is not good to simply idle your old vehicle - you should always drive it.
In fact, he said that idling it is worse for the engine than not starting it
at all if you're not going to drive it - condensation or something.  I have
a '50 3100 that is not a daily driver but I try to get it out and drive it
once a week or so.  During the winter, however, there are weeks that I just
idle it in the garage for 15 or 20 minutes.  Any thoughts on whether idling
a vehicle is bad for it?
 
Thanks
 Ken
