Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
That speedo looks in good shape. Be very careful touching, or cleaning the odometer wheels, the old paint will flake off very easy. Nice darn truck !!!

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
A low smooth idle speed is impressive on a show car , but in reality on a driver I like it a tad bit higher myself. However, with the 4 speed double clutcher, a low idle will help slow down the...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
Like Gary, I like to use period correct hardware. When I can't find old carriage bolts, I dunk the head of new ones in muratic acid for just a couple seconds to take the shine off, or longer to...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
A good tig welder can repair those cracks without disturbing too much of the old girls hyde. Only a little touch up near the weld if he goes slow and allows cooling. Should be unnoticeable on the...

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck

Re: 1932 The Deuce, Dually, Dump Truck
We have a talented old guy in our Model T club who will " drip " some new babbitt on the thrust surface and machine it back to spec. That way, you only need to remove the rear main cap. Generally, If...
