That's pretty cool having a personal connection and a back story on a vehicle your working on.

ford truck 1942
- Thread starter brian wafer
- Start date
i was wanting to repair my horn, don,t know really how to test one! not sure where this horn comes from! its not a ford horn by my researching. heres the pictures i have.
i,m adding this for reference when i put it back together. i clean and painted the horn.
started stripping front end, to find what parts i will need. while i wait on them i will try to get cab ready for prime.
busy weekend for you!
truck always leaned to the left ,i new it had an accident was hoping frame was ok. left spring even had an extra leaf but it leaned .but i had never noticed they were thinner leafs on the left side until now.
That thing have some equipment permanently mounted on the right side at some point?
as far as i know it never had a plough or wing!
put a few more hours. i had bought a old frame ,i got good spring hangers on it and made 2 good front sping leafs. i will pobably be using the donor front axle ,my king pin is loose in the axle! good drag link and tie rods. no pictures but removed all my spring hangers. i got a order placed for spring bushing and pins,kingpin set. steering box bushing and seal kit,plus a few different parts. should be starting cab body work while i wait on my parts.
whats left on the old frame,kind of happy it was crack after the repairs i did last winter on mine!
my loot!
windsheild and motor are out.

Holy jeepers, still that much snow hanging around! We're cooking here, 29 C today and supposed to be the same or hotter through the rest of the week. I'm not complaining, it's just so early. We smashed about 20 different weather records in April too.
