N.O.S. Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 And turning very slowly within the pulleys and belts of that early 1900s Belgian reciprocating saw, to keep it all oiled up is a positive displacement lubricator - which is in fact am old 6 cyl. diesel injection pump! :goodidea: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clutches are different also. Rear axle specific to Chevs, but I think the front is the same as Jimmy fitted with Corporation (Banjo) axles And thats just the start......... theres lots more!

I know the hood side panels are different, but surely the cab and front sheet metal is the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 No Cab is similar, but I think the GMC cab has floor / firewall differences for the 270. Bonnet the same, wings the same, grille different, engine side panels different, running boards different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been told that the bonnets are similar but not identical, appararently the radius over the radiator is different! :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scammell4199 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Reason I ask is there is a chev near me which could come into my possession at some point in the future. But the owner moved it a long time ago by putting his forklift through the cab. Assuming chev body work is rare I'm just wondering how much I could use from a jimmy. So it sounds like cab with a bit of work, bonnet and wings. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon_M Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The desirable Chevrolet-specific cab parts are the script engine side panels and running boards, everything else can be made to work. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scammell4199 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Sounds promising. Cheers Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
