My "new" Truck!

[jbiscuit]

Space is gonna be a problem if Adam starts collecting these old Ford trucks instead of tractors lol

[michelle]

It's my truck. But I sure wish it fit in the garage. Time to look into those canopy structures once it comes time to pull out some windows and clean it up.

I picked up my carb rebuild kit today. Um, lots of little parts.

[SSDude]

Don't be scared by those little parts.

[Prince Valiant]

Um, lots of little parts.

that's what she said. truly.

[michelle]

A bit of some Kansas sand in there!

[jbiscuit]

I'd tank all those parts in a carb cleaner solution. I bet that gunk is everywhere

[michelle]

Soaking as I type this!

[michelle]

Ugh, got the spring out, but the little ball won't budge!

[lilws6]

magnet?

[SSDude]

Ugh, got the spring out, but the little ball won't budge!

I wouldn't try to hard to get that out. It could be intentional to close off a passage.

[michelle]

All of the directions I found said to remove it. Gave up and put it back together.

And..... it runs!!!

[OxmanWI]

Looks good, have fun with this project!

[michelle]

Thanks!

[Prince Valiant]

I know some are saying to put a modern drivetrain in the thing...and not that I think you are considering it, BUT, if you were to consider doing something radical, then I'd suggest just putting that old body onto a whole modern frame...that way, EVERYTHING, even the ride, is substantially upgraded.

good job on the carb rebuild though

[michelle]

I'm a long way before I even think of things like that, but we'll see. It's fun making a little progress each day after work though!

[jbiscuit]

It would be a crime to ditch the flathead motor!

[michelle]

Even with a rusted out exhaust, it sure sounds good!

[michelle]

Every girl's dream.... a tilting bed.

[Gregor]

Nice truck.

Get those brakes working and take it for a spin.

[Wagonbacker9]

just think how many tractors can fit on the flatbed at once!
