Default Re: 1941 Semi Truck

For me i will not be fully restoring as I do not want to change the truck but rather keep the history.

I will check all the brakes etc and make sure everything functions as it should. I will give it a very good clean and either matt clear it or maybe a boiled linseed mix wipe ( everyone's thoughts?)

They truck starts and idles perfectly now after I rebuilt and cleaned the carburetor, i have flushed the fuel tank and lines and the brake master cylinder needs replacing.

The truck has a 4 speed box and a split differential, it has an early V8 flathead ( i have not looked at any numbers as yet but it has the helmet style distributor)

I also have acquired an early war generator that they used to take to airfields to power the search lights.

Cheers
