Re: main bearings babbit

Don't know your skill level but you can do them yourself if you have the desire.

Wanted: 28 29 Windshield Header

Looking for a decent sheetmetal windshield header for my 28 Cab. It's ok if the windshield posts are still attached. I have three rotted ones and am in need of a decent one.

Thank you,

Re: 3 speed??

i didnt think to look at the tranny close on the one im tryin to get but the guy said it had a splitter on it for realy heavy loads, its a 29 body style, so does that mean that it should have the regular three speed with an additional box behind it? Never heard the term "splitter" before ...

Re: Rear axle speed

Drew, According to Neil top speed with the 7.25 ratio would be about 30 mph, with the hi-low shift in low 20 mph would be top speed. both at top engine rpm. Just to low for normal driving. I think what Drew is asking is if you have actually driven the truck at speed. It doesn't sound like you have ...

Tom,
it is the AA Four speed housing that is shorter.

Re: 3 speed??

I have a 3 speed in my 28 but it has the dual high auxilliary trans right behind it. I think this aux trans is like a "creeper gear" on a tractor. Gives you a super low under load to get you started. I have another 28 Frame that is set up for a three speed as well but it doesn't have the d...

Do those prices look reasonable or do I not see a bargain when I'm looking at it. I guess there is always somebody looking for a particular part.
I think that is a TT box and not an A box by the niddle stake holder on it. But hard to say.

Chris, I know exactly where to look. Thank you. Been working on A's since I was a little kid. It was our family car for a long time growing up. I bought this truck in the middle of a corn field in Nebraska from a Farmer that probably worked it to death. It wouldn't surprise me if he changed Cabs on ...

Not sure how to do that. What do you use safely to etch. I was sanding by hand but I have some serious pitting where the missing number(s) is.
