Ford KL Welder truck restoration

[Robin Craig]

I also recall that truck, I like Bob, also lusted after it and had delusional fantasies of owning it and restoring it and showing it.

Grand job your doing

It's nice to feel re-energized about a project, after all this time. This forum is probably the main reason , when you see the different builds taking place all over the globe. Thanks Robin

Mate she looks fantastic keep posting more pictures . I think a lot of us understand the effort you are putting in, and lets face it its a learning curve for us all.

Thanks Shane . As per a conversation with Bob C this morning, I rolled out some white strip caulk on the cab floor and set the back wall into place. Just put a couple bolts in for now, have to dig up the originals in a box somewhere ?

Go to TSC and by a few pounds of assorted bolts...... good luck finding the square nuts.

Truck is looking very good.

[Bob Carriere]

as it been reworked ready to fire up?

[Kirk Armitage]

Original bolts if possible or close , not too fussy about the grade marks on the heads of new bolts, on an antique, maybe underneath where their not visible. Engine wise, had the 239 bored out, needed one sleeve, so I put the bottom end together, also adjustable valves and its sitting on the end stand waiting to be finished. Wheels are probably seized !
