Hello forum members! Here are some updates on my B Model restoration. I know it doesn't show but the wet sanding and buffing is going well. I also got the side boards installed. I plan on doing the driver's door and then tackle the roof and back of the cab. The smaller parts are done, then reassembly begins. As Always, Best Regards.....Frank

Cheers bud

There ya go! Get that puppy pulled down inspect it and decide what parts you need don’t overlook the oil pump it’s likley toast with all the crap gone through it pull the oil cooler down and clean it out as well! Check the main bearings caps ect and the block! Then you can determine what you need totally! Note take lots of pictures! Can save you a lot of headaches! Did confirm the pistons are one piece?

No bud

Do you have a P.A.I. parts dealer in your country.?

I agree and on top of that he asks for offers. It does smell fishy.

I need a full engine rebuild kit including over size main bearing shells ( not sure of the size yet) plus also might need a turbo

I will send you a message bud

Let me know if you need more part numbers let us know. I may have what you need..

excellent were getting closer,,bob

Yes, he sent me the information on the magazine, He did a great job researching! I have a lot of copies from the 90s and 2000s that my Dad had, but I missed out on a few years! Good Reading.

Tbh my mate has an international trucking business so he said if I find the parts he should be able too sort transport for me

you know,,,its taken me almost a year to figure out,,,,theres always tomorrow im usually pretty ambitious,,,but when the mrs is here,,,it throws off all my concentration but sometimes i just plain dont feel like doing anything,,,and this messy box job i got going on is not by any means interesting enough at this point to get me racing out there,,,,unconsciously ,i think im brainwashing myself into sitting on the sofa,,,instead of even getting dressed and racing out there like i usually do especially with the body work on the nose,,,ill be alot more anxious to get started on this overgrown nuisance,,,once i get the box completely apart and cleaned up,,,,but thanks for noticing paul...bob

FFS, you are really taking this retirement gig seriously aren't you bob 😂 Paul

Nathan Try finding blokes that import Yanky stuff like motors for hot rods and muscle cars etc to the UK and Europe Last year I got 2 truck gear boxes sent from the U.S. to Australia for less than the cost of freighting two sets of mud flaps I got these here from a bloke that imports cars and car parts, I just for a bit of room in a shipping container $300.00 Aus landed in Australia from the East coast of the U.S. Which is kinda strange, it cost more to get them to the port in the U.S. than from the U.S. to Australia And it's cheaper to get things delivered to Australia from the East coast than West So maybe it might be cheaper to get things imported Sweden (lots Swedish people love the big Yank tank type of cars) and grab a ute a mate or the little woman and jump on a ferry from the UK to Europe and drive to Sweden to collect London to Stockholm is according to Google only 22 hours of driving, grab a mate and some good music, your there in a day and have a story to tell everyone Paul

have a swinging time bud and best wishes,,bob

ya 1234 sounds ridiculous

It was written by Phil Dirt.

sorry about stepping on your toes nathan,,,but this happens quite often,,,im sure most of us are trying to figure out your best route,,,ive never seen pistons that loose either,,,thats just wierd,,bob

If he has the title, and it is correct for the truck, then he would know it is not a B model, on the other hand, if he has "a title", that isn't for the truck, what does he really have?

Id say your right Bob...We want them because theyre the mudflaps on Pig Pens Cruiseliner... Paul

I had the same ones on my 82 cruise liner I think they were brand new back then not retro.lol bob

Lots of those inaccurate descriptions with $1234 for the price are some type of scam.
