Default Since you asked

The window throwout bit I need is the piece that attaches the throwout arm to the window frame, secured with a staked clevis pin. I asked the machine shop out in the country to cobble one up for me, but he's a busy guy, and last time I checked in with him, a couple of weeks back, he still hadn't got around to it. I have had to acquire or fabricate all the throwout and bracket bits as all that was missing or broken on the truck when I got it.

As for doors, on reflection I realize the side and rear doors are not interchangeable - hinges and latch are on opposite sides. - I am hoping to find a rear door, or at least the bottom part, with hinges on right-hand side. Otherwise, I will have to try to patch together the old door and find, or have fabricated, a pair of hinges.

I phoned the welder today, and apparently has done the links, so when I find out how much he wants for the job, and how much it would cost to re-work them to 8-inch opposite ends, I will decide whether to have him do that and buy the 9.25" pair from powerwagons.

Ought to have my tanks back soon: I have am having a pair of good tanks made up from three tanks; the original LH tank, which was not too bad, an acquired LH tank which had original been a RH tank which Bill Spence had had refurbished and converted to LH, then decided he didn't need, so I am having converted back to RH, and the original RH tank, which was rusted and rotted out, which donates the filler pipe, etc. Confused yet? No idea what the shop will end up charging me for all that, but I will probably take the rad to them next for a checkup and refurb.

Here is a photo of the hardware you refered to (the block that attaches to the window frame and allows the throw out arm to pivot). PM me with your mailing address and I will send it (them) to you.

Default Better late than never....

Just hate it when work interferes with your MLU activites....

Here are some pics of the last load......

......for some reason they keep getting bigger and taller....

So far the OPP has been very understanding !!!!

1300 km ......19 hours....

Noticed that the Ford rode on the helper springs with the extra engine, tranny, T case, spare manifoldssss, etc and assorted tools and parts....but having an "Injun" in the back sure helps with the traction.

Boob

PS... the trucks are guarded by our Hammond steel vulture......which loves to nibble on Furds!!!!

Default Familiar

That black cab with the rear end of a HUP instead of the normal back of the cab looks familiar... if it's the same one, last time I saw it in 2004 it had snow all around it.
