Popular Post h67st Posted July 3, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2023 The data plates had all been painted over, I soaked them in hot soapy water and gently scraped the paint off. I hit them ever so lightly with SOS pads and called it good. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/9/#findComment-534066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Wow that looks excellent. You could probably use a little sandpaper. On that shifter plate. That’s what I did. Thanks for keeping us posted.

I was planning to get a period-correct trailer to pull, but I don't want to spend the time and money on something else (I have the Brockway for that). 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/9/#findComment-534152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post h67st Posted July 5, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2023 A friend of mine runs a fab shop, he made me a bumper out of 1/8" steel to match the original dimensions. The factory bumpers were 3/16" but my goal is to not hit anything with this truck. I painted it bright silver like the rims, it doesn't look too bad. 4 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/66562-h-model-restoration/page/9/#findComment-534195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
