Maurice Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Remarkable , on mine there was also a date on the front and rear springs , sept 39 . Early single working shocks didn`t have a date. on a friends OX there is also the date on the leaves , just hope nobody swapped them over the years.

rampant rivet Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well hopefully Ive sorted my finger trouble and can post some more general pics of the truck I have noticed the water pump is leaking so that's another job to add to the list. headlights came with truck but am unsure if they are correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hi Jeremy, The headlamp looks like Civi to me and the mounting should be on the bottom and you should have flat glass in it if i am correct...It also looks like an 6 inch version am i correct on that..??

rampant rivet Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Had another good day working on the old girl Gave the end of a front spring a quick clean and found this unfortunately no date. Looks like its been through a workshop all being + 20 thou Something odd here looks like the wrong water pump or summat as the belt doesn't look in line. looking a bit sad now :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fayjo56 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Great progress Jeremy, they come apart alot quicker than they go together dont they! I am envious of the space you appear to have in your workshop, I can only do one side at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am envious of the space you appear to have in your workshop, I can only do one side at a time. 70 odd years old nuts and bolts do not come undone easily :wow: though this is the easier phase :cheesy: I am lucky with the workshop as around ten years ago I helped a mate restore his Dodge weapons carrier then built a 20' x 30' shed for him in return I have a corner to work in and have been there so long now I am known as the squatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampant rivet Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Cheers Charlie Bit quiet at the mo have taken all the instruments out of the panel and hope to remove the bulkhead from the chassis tomo eve though I have noticed my cab mount are shot they are the same as pauls and I'll need to source some new ones eventually. speedo looked shot but should be able to save it though the temp gauge is shot so will need one of those :shocked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Its now the turn of the starter motor to be sorted, all it needed was a new return spring. And the removal of 70 + years of crud :wow: Have also been busy making the first pair of patterns so we can have new castings made for the aero screen brackets two more to make then its off to the foundry :-D Edited April 16, 2013 by rampant rivet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Good day today managed to get the truck out of the shed and pressure wash the engine and gearbox off thanks for the crank handle paul it made life a lot easier. before ! By removing the sparkplugs and putting it in first gear it was easy to drag the old girl out of t'shed just like ice cold in Alex :beer: Got the core plugs out and got as much crud out as pos, when I got home the return spring for the starter motor had arrived so that's sorted and can be put on the shelf ready to refit.

rampant rivet Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Have really got stuck into stripping her down so to speak lower clutch cover yuck Gearbox out Oil filter gauze clogged with gunge Sump off OMG !! 3/4" gunge in the bottom I knew it was bad as when I tried to drain oil out I had to clear the drain hole with a peace of wire before the oil would flow ! Rocker cover off so far so good Got the head off all seems ok, needs a decoke and will check the valves etc thankfully bores are good I have also removed oil pump and dizzy for overhaul and have brought all the parts back home so that I can work on them in the garage. Can anyone tell me the best place to get a full engine gasket set I thought I had some head gaskets but they are not correct :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
