Slow progress
here is another update. there is not a lot of visible progress. i am sorting out engine bits. Have had to strip another two engines. one was bored 050 oversizeand i need 2 new pistons for it.another engine has a slinger only rear "seal"and a good block BUT the rear main cap does not have the replacable aliminum seal carrier..I have decided to sacrifice another truck. The cab is rust free the bonett (hood) is very good, the gaurds have had a lot of pannelbeating and welding on them, there are big cracks where they join the cab. the engine in this truck had solid brass big end bearings, this is the second tine i have found this.
