My new truck

Post by blgitn »

Hello all. Here is my new truck; what do you think? I'm on the look out for a stake body and a few more '31 wheels.

This means a high-speed rear end, right?

One mile journey today on the auxiliary gas tank: Brakes are great. Charging. Speedo works. Wiper goes left, but not right. Shopping for matching tires (6.50's) and three more '31 rims.

Next step; cleaning the gas tank. It doesn't look too bad; small rust scale. I am considering electrolysis to remove the rust. Has anyone tried that?

On our 1931 1 1/2 ton AA, the largerst that I would dare put on the front axle is 6.00 X 20. You need your front fender clearance.

6.50's will most likely hit the front brake rods when turning.
