Re: Update on Grandpa's truck!

Hey all,

Just wanted to update you all on my progress. I am still in the process of rebuilding the 250 inline 6 in class. I knew it had been rebuilt back in the late 70s but it was a surprise when I opened it up to find .060" over pistons in it!
My guess is, the guy my grandfather had rebuild the engine made a mistake and when boring it out .030 over and decided to correct it by boring them all .060. It also needed a new cam and lifters. Luckily, the crankshaft and valve train were still good. I have a lot of the new stuff installed and on Monday I'll be putting the head back on.

As for the rest of the truck, I have disassembling the brakes removing the front sheet metal. Next is new brake parts and rebuilding the transmission.

Thanks for the support. I'm looking forward to driving this truck soon..... someday.
