2017 F15A Starting over
Well after a short break of 9 years I am back on to my F15A.
To search threads here is my original linkk http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7402 The Army Registration Number is 57827 after researching at the Australian War memorial. It is a 1942 Ford F15A. In 2009 I fell through my old trailer and crushed my back disks so I wasn't able to do a large truck until now. I have learnt a lot but know far from everything. I'll have questions and suggestions. I take on that some people are perfectionists I'll admit I am not so live with it. This may be a little out of order But I will try to make it flow. After an initial assessment the rust in the cab roof is worse than ever and I have NO desire to use Protec paint ever. It is porous and has allowed my truck to deteriorate badly. Ahh well live & learn. I removed the roof the very next day. It will need to be sand blasted and repaired (again) I have had the gutter parts pre-made so I will mig them on once the Sandblaster has done his job. A great example of care when assembling (somewhere between issue and me becoming owner) Today (ANZAC DAY) I took the steering box off- yes some water inside but we'll have to see how it goes... : Are there meant to be grease nipples here ??? (front of front springs?) Cheers, Ian
