Hobert62 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 What did you use as the rings to keep the paint off the tires? I've done that before and works pretty good.

hurstscrambler Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Thanks for comments guys, I used a couple 4" strips of 26 gauge metal. I just set them at the correct diameter with a few screws, It worked out pretty well. The goal is to get the engine cleaned up and in the chassis. I also want to get the air and fuel tanks back on the chassis before the snow flies. Then I can do the metal work on the cab, get the glass back in and all that over the winter.

hurstscrambler Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks, didn't get much more done this weekend, but some. I organized all the parts and brought a load of rusty metal up to my local media blaster. I also decided on which cab I was going to use and got it home to my shop. I got some stuff stripped off the cab as well in preparation for media blasting. I'm hoping to drop off the cab, doors and other BS when I pick up the first load of parts.

BillyT Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hurst scrambler great idea on the 26Gauge strips,I've used two strips of duct tape ,but it comes out to less than 3"when you stick them together.I actually have some sheet metal scraps( that my wife wants me to throw away)"My stuff,your shit" that would work! Looks like you bought the clean red one you posted earlier!

fxfymn Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Poster board works pretty well too. The key to any of them is to get them to "stand up" like a dog's vet collar, not lie flat on the tire.

hurstscrambler Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Picked up some stuff from the blaster and dropped some more stuff. I feel like this process has only just begun...... There are quite a few cracks in alot of these old parts, I hope to get some stuff welded up and start shooting some primer after work tomorrow. On another note, I think the 270 needs a rear main seal. Anybody know the procedure for that? I imagine the trans and clutch need to come out, or can it be done by pulling the pan?

hurstscrambler Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 No primer yet, been welding like crazy. The fuel tanks both had issues, had to re-weld a previous repair on one and do the same repair to another. Both are pressure tested now. I straightened out the bull bar and did some welding and grinding here and there. I had to modify the front bumper pan to work with the radiator and nose of the grey truck.

hurstscrambler Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Fixed a poorly repaired filler panel. Go easy on my welding too, it's ugly but effective.

hurstscrambler Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 The front end on the grey truck is different in many small ways, the grey trucks cab, nose and fenders are mounted about an 1.5 inches higher than accommodate the turbo on the 270, and the radiator in the grey truck is at least 2 inches thicker. Point is that everything from the firewall forward is different, but things that unusable on the grey truck I've either been able to repair them or modify parts from the red truck to work. The red bracket is one of the rear fender mounts, the other 2 brackets are for the front fender mounts and headlight mounts.

41chevy Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 From sitting make sure it is the engine and not the trans input shaft seal. If it's the engine go to you parts supplier and see what type of seal it is. A "Rope" style or a 360 seal. Should give you the answer for just the pan and rear main cap or trans, clutch and bell. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44928-1969-international-f210d/page/6/#findComment-349677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurstscrambler Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Thanks for the advice Paul, it may be a week or 2 before the engine is pulled and in the shop. I'm definitely gonna be competing with the weather soon, we had at first overnight freeze last week. Im slowly getting the parts painted, a little at a time. My buddy hasn't been in his shop, so I have been making the most of it.

hurstscrambler Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Got the toe pan patched up and started on the fenders. They have had a few battlefield repaires, so I'm trying to get a few of those straightened out Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44928-1969-international-f210d/page/6/#findComment-350326 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurstscrambler Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just picked up the cab at the sandblaster, they did an exceptional job as always. There is some rust/rot that needs to addressed obviously, but for a northeast truck I'm impressed with its condition. I won't be tackling the work on the cab for a while, but I wanted to get it blasted and in my garage before the weather turns. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44928-1969-international-f210d/page/6/#findComment-350398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The cab doesn't look bad for a snow belt unit.

fxfymn Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Was that the ex-fire truck cab? Are you going to give it a quick primer coat to keep it from rusting?

hurstscrambler Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 I did end up using the fire truck cab, I won't be priming the cab probably for a few weeks. My garage is pretty tight and it's not humid so I don't foresee any issues with that. I've been pretty busy with work, but I made some progress on the truck over the weekend.

hurstscrambler Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 This is by no means funs stuff, but everytime a part is ready for paint it is a good feeling. I did some other stuff to the fenders, welded up holes and drilled new ones. They are in good shape now.

Popular Post hurstscrambler Posted November 7, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2016 The stack brackets were all twisted up, I welded some gussets in and straightened them out the best I could.

Maddog13407 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 gotta say, I'm glad you went forward, didn't lose interest and didn't leave this truck a stripped carcass left for scrap. too many people tear into an old truck and realize they are over their head and it all ends badly and we all know the outcome. I'm happy your saving this one or at least using parts from the gray truck to make another one live again 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44928-1969-international-f210d/page/6/#findComment-351348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
