Exactly, its a 3m Product

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

It goes on in small steps, the overhauled brake calipers set up. Completed the rear drum brake and made adjustment slots in the anchor plates, now the pads should be easier to adjust. The shock absorber mounts are off, waiting for material. Engine and gearbox separate, both need to be sealed.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Progress is Progress.

And your progress is great.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

This is going to be a very nice truck when done. A lot of hard work gone into that!

Are we up to date on your progress or still playing catch up?

P. :D

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Now we are in the current time.
Finally took advantage of the beautiful weather today and made a nice trip with the Mustang, what did I miss.
The bottom one is from November, that's when the Ford wasn't moved.
It actually just rained or it was frozen and sprinkled with salt.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Mustang looks good Harald!

P. :D

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Thank you.
The new shock absorber bracket is built and welded, now prepare for painting

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Nice welding Harald.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Slowly, very slowly it goes on, almost 14 days waiting for the paint to repair the frame around the shock absorber bracket. The automatic transmission has been resealed, I had to replace the shift shaft, which was destroyed.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

At this rate you will be getting ice cream by the weekend!

P. :D

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Now the engine was resealed, the oil pan got a good silicone seal, and I was able to see what kind of engine it is, it has 4 bolt main bearings and 4" bore, block casting number is 3970010, not that bad. I guess times on a block of trucks I couldn't identify the heads, I couldn't find the number 3998981. It was repainted in gray, looks nice

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Don't think they are anything special but pretty sure it will scoot along quite nicely. Actually really like the grey.

Half tempted to throw that colour on my LS but.... Nah!

Great progress as always.

No sign of the ice cream yet though. This weekend??

P. :D

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

The weather is supposed to be great.
But certainly not with the truck.
And the ice cream shops are probably still closed.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

New brake lines were made and installed, now the engine and transmission could be put back in their place, the alternator and servo pump were installed, and it's slowly becoming a truck again.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Looking great Harald.

As Paul says, you will soon be relaxing.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Thanks, the next projekt looking up the corner, Relaxation is not yet.
I..... if I sometimes do nonsense, you'll notice it..... right. :dohh:

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

So waiting in the shed is a Model A Ford to be restored. Very cool.
Your truck is looking good.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Yes, thank you, it will definitely be an exciting project, it should be in the hot rod style of the 40s, with 4 bangers, maybe even as a full fender with a slight drop in the front axle. But that will certainly take time.
I hope you're doing better and you can continue with your project, I'm crossing my fingers

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Yes, thanks for your kind words.
Fatigue is the main thing now. I don't have any pain, but just so tired all the time.

A 4 banger Model A hot rod is a great way to go.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

The head number is 3998991, and combined with a 3970010 block.......

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Thanks for that, I thought the same thing. A truck engine. But he ran well and stays that way for now.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Just now there is a lot of small stuff, gearbox holder a bit embellished.
I had to replace the rear universal joint, it's a 1310-1350 now the drivetrain is complete.
and starting with the exhaust system, from the manifolds it goes straight to the silencers, the right side should come out to the left, it has to jump too, stop for a test first.

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

That's some nice work on the exhaust. :)

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

That is very smart.


All of it.


Liking the exhaust

Re: A '62 has to get back on the road
 

Well finally done, it took the day to get the one tube right so it doesn't make contact with the axle when it's working.
