pistons
Quote:
I see you have flat top pistons in that 216 ? . This would be a 1941 onwards US sourced engine. The head was designed to go with those pistons. The Canadian engines had the domed cast iron pistons e.g. CMP's used . If you try to fit the other type of head the domed pistons hit the head ! They also changed the valves and other minor changes , so be aware of this when ordering parts

so after everything got sandblasted and got new bushes for the shackle pins, I got everything put back together and painted and started working on the steel work of the tray.
when most of these trucks came out here , the aussies put an 8mm strengthening plate along the side of the chassis to beef the load capacity to 3ton mine started to delaminate so I had to take it of and make up new ones. the originals were riveted on, instead of re riveting it I brought 13mm bolts and bolted it back up , and then ran a bead of truck silicone on the joints to prevent water from getting in there again

Now all that is finished I proceeded on starting with the cab and boy was there a lot of work to be done , most of these trucks theres the use all places of rust like the bottom quarters and where the two sheets of the cab meet at the rib at the back, I did most of the repairs before I sent everything of to get sandblasted
these photos I repaired the front lower quarters which where rotted out and I started to cut out all the rust of the back of the cab.

I had spare doors that were to far gone to use but the rib of the door was good and the same as the rib that runs along the back of the cab, so I cut the ribs out of the doors and used them to repair the back of my cab
