Folks,
Ok trying to get you up to speed, here in the Rehab Center!
Some random shots of where I am this morning. Got up at 5:30 to get this picture thing started. Just something I seem to have to do to make my work complete. Maybe I didn't mention but one of the fundamental goals for folks entering the "Rehab Center" is to have them: ( A basic 5 step program)
1. start projects that have been lingering,
2. build something,
3. rebuild something,
4. spend massive amounts of money doing the above.
5. Repeat!
If this happens then I have done my job and they have done well!
Valve cover off.
This was after clean up. It was mr yuck in there just loose scaly soft rusty material. Good to get that out would not be good going into oil pan.
Did you know you get bonus point if the picture has a can of Blaster in it?
Rad does not leak but may take it to a shop for cleaning. Has loose upper side piece at top Solder came apart.
Had a heck of a time getting the spring loaded bolts out of the rad supports. Finally took the shell off and it was much easier. They gave me a run for a few minutes! Wife found me sleeping under the 32. How embarrassing. But you do get extra bonus points if you get a nap on the creeper!
Oh Yea hoses are junk! No surprise here.
loosen head nuts, then drained the rad. Yea thats how we roll!
What a little cutie!
OK now we are taking! I can see why folks have been attracted to these as hot rods too. I mean this era not this truck, I can picture myself 70 years ago working on one of these!
I may remove the Guide lights just for safety reasons while working in there too.
Enough for now you guys can see where I am at. Not sure where we are going?
Comments, suggestions, concerns, I always welcome your comments!
Hope things are good in Ford land!
Regards,
Chris
