Re: Large rear tire size?

Thank you for the response So sounds like the current configuration of the rear tires is not original? The truck has migrated to (what we call) our Hillbilly Truck. Thinking I may try to locate this larger tire. I measured the tires and rim - tire appears to be 36" tall by 8.5" wide Rim is...

Re: Radiators - pressurized, flat tube, rows???

KVO Thanks for your great response. I spoke with my local radiator shop regarding pressurized systems. He cautioned the fact - if the cooling system had not been upgraded (seals, pump) there may be a risk of leaks.

Confused I have 3 candidates, one immediate, for new radiators. The immediate is a 1931 AA flatbed. So help me understand the differences between 3 rows, 4 rows, flat tube and dimpled.

Tires - need your input!

Hello I have two 1931 trucks that will need tires all around. The first has rear duals, the other singles. Both trucks are kept in their origional working clothes - rough. 600x20 What options and where would you recommend? Obviously a good price would help with 10 tires. Many thanks in advance Gary NJ

Re: Oils - bottom line what's your favorite?

Great info - thank you very much for the swift replies.
I checked my local farm & auto parts stores, no luck with anything that thick.
Will probably have to mail order.

By chance, what capacity is the transmission?
Thanks,
Gary
