Wow 91years old. I just looked it up

An L cab and a V8. That's a combo I've never seen before. Nice truck

I do that for when oil coolers go bad, seems to work the best. I never tried cascade though. The liquid dish soap will also turn diesel or gasoline into a thick jell. Good for homemade napalm. I've seen it used for sabotaging the competition too

That damn Ginger gave me bad thoughts as a 6 year old. I had no idea what it made me want to do, but I knew I wanted to do something. I didn't tell anyone for fear of getting put in the crazy house in a straight jacket or something. Little did I know the grown ups were thinking the same thing lmao

It really doesn't look that bad. Personally for a work truck, I'd just straighten it out as best as you can and use bondo. Nobody will notice it. unless they take a magnet to it or something

Never used a torque wrench on one in my life. Be sure to us properly fitting body-bond bolts. And if you do decide to use a torque wrench, it's only going to be accurate if the torque wrench is on the nut.

I had that problem here in Pa in the 80's. I had a rail trailer from some far away state I think it might have been Arkansas and the registration document was kind of unusual looking but it had PERMANANT stamped on it in big letters. Actually it was the first time I had seen a permanent trailer tag so I examined the documentation really closely. And go figure I got pulled into a DOT check. And they were insisting it was all wrong. It was a damn railroad owned brand new dry van. It seemed like they were reading it wrong. They were going to cite me, but then an older officer came over and looked at it and decided it was OK. I don't understand why they just didn't run it

I'm never a fan of putting faster ratios in. It never seems to save the amount of fuel everyone thinks it's going to. What do you use the truck for? What engine and transmission? Tire size?

The slip rings are outboard of the bearing? Do the brushes go into the back?

It looks like there is plenty of meat there if you have to bore it for a larger OD bearing. And if the bearing is smaller, sleaving it should be no problem at all

The only thing I can find in NJ law prohibiting recaps is this.

Yeah you used a block of wood on the floor to offset the split

I could declare my cat is a "certified welder" and it would be true
