Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Yeah I had a bunch of pictures on photo bucket and they want to charge me to have them up. I'm going to try and go back and post the pictures that are missing. I was able to get almost all of the interior finished, hope to finish it tomorrow. Also got the horn finished and put on.
I'm not sure why the pictures are sideways but if you click on them they appear to be correct. |

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Could I get a couple ideas as to why the light switch would be hard to turn? I installed it and when the light switch is not on it turns smooth. When I put that on it turns easily for a few times and then gets where it won't go.
Also, is the correct way 1 to right and 2 clicks to the left? Thanks in advance. |

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
The tail pipe on the pickup is 4" shorter than the pass car. I still need to perform a briss on mine. LOL

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
I'm getting to the end and one of my last things is an exhaust system. I have no parts but want a factory look I'm hoping for recommendations based on experience. Couple thoughts I've had I'd buy a muffler from Roy Nacewitz and have exhaust shop build The rest. Or I've seen a kit from Waldron exhaust that looks nice. Any ideas?
Thanks. |

I like the paint job! Just sold a 28 pu painted dark green. Ignore the originality pubahs telling you the running boards aren't correct and should be black. If you like them body color keep em like that. I've bought two stainless exhaust systems from Waldron. The 36 woodie one fit pretty good although they had to make a 2nd crossover pipe for me as a muffler shop had to add 2 inches to get it to fit. Charged just for materials. The 41 woodie stainless exhaust required me modifying every piece to get it to fit. I cut and tacked and had a friend tig with stainless. If you know the exhaust shop is very good with antique cars that sounds like a deal to me or if you are going with dual exhaust. Your light switch should be one to the left for parking lights and one to the right for headlights if I remember from my 36 correctly. Do you have an original light switch, the bulb looking thingy at the end of the steering column? The repop ones are crap and should be avoided. Only other problem with light switch could be bent light switch rod.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
I asked Tyree to make a 36 harness with turn signals and just one harness instead of several. He said no.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
There is no spring on a 36 glove box door. It's held closed by a clip.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Thanks Don. Had a sandwich bag labeled "glove box spring" and thought it went there.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
We're running 6.50/16's on our '36 PU I like them.
Have a 6.00/16 for a spare tire the 6.50 would be a tighter fit there. |
