Thanks man!

 

Ok, been driving the 29 and im not satisfied with a Cruise speed at 50mph.
After the summer i will change the gear ratio, dont want to tear it down in the middle of the summer.
Something that i can do is to change the 15 rear tires with L78-15 (dont like them anyway) to 16 with 7,50 tires.
Im not to exited to mess with this, i Think 16 may f#ck up the stance and i cant use my Lincoln hubcaps that i want, also they might look to big with fenders an 15-5,60 in front.
The rear rims i got now are to wide and reproductions and the L78 doesent fit the car at all so my original plan was to use Ford 15 rims and 8,20 Firestone (got 2 F100 rims from a friend).

 

WOW, it looks really good and well preserved!

Nice project

 

Just found this one......very cool. Keep it up. I like the truck, but your skills are keeping me here......reading, and waiting......next post ready sir.

 

Great thread & truck - Really nice to see it so well preserved.

 

Thanks!

Had to rebuild the radiator and now im waiting for a waterpump thats need to be changed.
It would be nice to take a long trip with this one.

 

Beautiful little truck, I'd drop the headlights a bit, straighten the top bow on the windshield and call it good . awesome find, man!

Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

 

Man the stance on that thing is just great. Such a sweet rpu!

 

I like the 7.50 16 idea! Car would look bitchin with some tall skinny firestones!

 

Finally found a waterpump, they were back ordered everywhere.
Now it works great, stays cool and in fact to cool.
I need some thermostats, anyone know what fist old Evans heads?
Maby the stock Ford thermostats fit?

 

Look'n good man! Stock '49-'53 thermostats should fit your Evans heads,I would think.

 

You could try a couple of fender washers to restrict the water flow a little.

 

Tore down the rear axle, ive had hoped for 4:11 but it had the common 3:78.
Ordered a ned 3:54 from joblotauto.com that will be put in before next summer.
Not much difference between 3:78 and 3:54 but its alittle better.

 

I'll note that I love the windshield. It IMO perfectly fits the time period this truck was built.

 

Got my rebuilt axle back, sadly all the old red paint fell off when i cleaned it at work.
Just need some new bushings for the shackles then i will put it back.

 

Took a ride yesterday, everything works fine.

 

Perfect build Nice job !!!

 

The old tires was worn out and front tires started to wobble so i mounted some other wheels i bought back from my old T-Bucket.
