Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
Door time. I replace hinge pins. Test fit Passenger door. With the primer door it reminded me of a movie “Every which way but Loose” hahaha. I removed the yellow door and painted inside of door.

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
Then I painted the exterior door Bermuda Green metallic it’s a 1954 chevy car color. I had some paint left over from a previous project. I did no body work to door. Just a scuff and shoot with rattle cans. I included the paint can pic of the interior paint.

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
The door looks so much better now. That is such a straight old truck. I bet it really runs good after that tune up!

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
Also check about on trans for wear where the release brg rides. Check release fork and ball stud for wear in area that contacts release brg and ball stud. Check all linkages and pedal pivots for wear. Check pedal pad and rubber bumper on pedal arm for integrity.

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
Sorry, got auto corrected.
Snout on trans, not about on trans. That's front bearing retainer in parts guy terminology. |

Yes I did clean, inspect, grease all the linkages. I welded up the clutch linkage and hand filed it. Amazing what some maintenance does for the truck. Shifts are smoother and gears have a more distinct feeling on the shifter!!

[QUOTE=Dan in Pasadena;8858632]WHAT?! Heresy! Heresy! Why sell it? You've just gotten it running right. Did you buy it with the intent of flipping it for a profit?
When I sell it I get to do it again!! Plus it’s another old truck back on the road. I always buy with the best intention. |

Re: My 1957 farm truck survivor
Dan you need to buy it ... that way you can drive it anywhere and not worry about it .
Maybe hit it with some greenish rattle can spray paint ....
