Popular Post Willie dog Posted February 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2018 Got all the bodywork done on the front sheet metal. Test fitting to make sure it still fits. Then pull it all back apart and paint the inside and outside of everything. Almost forgot. I finally got the wiring harness installed and everything wired up and working. 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52417-moving-forward/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't perfect, working with 60 year old metal that was mass produced is always a challenge.

I've seen it for so long in pieces, I almost forgot what it looks like. It gets my heart racing when I see parts going back on. Even if it's only temporary. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52417-moving-forward/#findComment-391311 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie dog Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Got the water pump back from the rebuilder, put everything back together and got it running again and, BAM. The fuel pump starts leaking gas all over the floor. Now I need to find a replacement, a rebuild kit or send it out. Any ideas or input?

Freightrain Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Fantastic work, as always. I just drool over nice, clean, well painted trucks................every time I crawl under my greasy, old, rusty truck. 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

HarryS Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Try Terrill Machine in Texas. They do a good job with quick turn around. Not much difference in price of buying a kit. https://www.yellowpages.com/de-leon-tx/mip/terrill-machine-inc-535207761?lid=535207761 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52417-moving-forward/#findComment-391359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
