I replaced all bearings from tc, There is only two size bearings: 6308 and 6208 (2 of both of those needs to be with lockring grooves, 6308N and 6208N)

I bought set of NOs seals from G503 1/2ton forum.

Measurement from "transfer case crossmember" to the crossmember after fuel tank:

Looks good!

Is that 352 Gmc bed?

I bought 40´s civilian 1-1/2 ton truck running boards from Ebay to My G-506, Front part of running board needs some modification..... And i need to cut a hole for fuel filter.

But they look almost same as original G-506 boards.

Hi JeeperFINN

 

Nice to know there will be more Chevrolets up and going

Last time I was at Beltring was back in 2007 and did take pictures of all the Chevrolets I didd find. I think there might be 8 to 10 Chevrolets there every Year so theyh are not that many of them.

 

I do not know of any extra bed for them, but for sure if I find one I'll inform you.

 

Make sure you take a lot of pictures at the show and put them out here.

 

Have a nice trip to the worlds biggest show

I plan to start restoration on my Chev 1,5 ton so it would be nice to be able to kit it out with some cargo too...

And at our meeting last month, somebody finaly started with dioramas. And this have given me a kick to get all my stuff down from the shelfs and show them and make a diorama of some sort..

I´m also restoring G-7117, But i need cargo bed for my truck...... Do you know any beds for sale?

Now the plan is to bolt 5th wheel coupling to the frame...... and make a G-7113 replica with winch

But when i find a correct bed for my truck, I will convert it back to cargo model.

I´m going to W&P first time now...... and check out all the Chevy´s in there

Damn......... I just notice that camping booking ended at 30.6.2011

And my friend stood me up...... I have to find another co-driver or travel alone

You will be camping in the civilian campsite, for non mv owners which is fairly well centrally situated to the showground

Thanks!

Is there access from civilian camp to MV-camp in the evening?

The show starts to fill up from the previous weekend, 16/17th and opens to the public on the 20th would advise to get there earlier than the weekend of the show, if you are camping with a military vehicle the only spaces left will be in the outer fields, it is such a large show it takes at least two/three days to see most of it, it is the worlds largest mv show!! a lot will have left already by sunday having been there for a week

I´m not coming with MV........My G506 isn´t finished yet

Plan is to camp in my van there for the weekend...... and see lot of interesting vehicles.

Hi

Any camping and other info for W&P first timers?

I´m planning to visit in show in weekend and camp there the whole weekend. It´s long drive from Finland....... but i think it is worth it

Is there any maps from show area? I didn´t find any from W&p site.....

My G-7117 original lining, It´s cardboard and buttons in middle is holding it up
