46 Ford 1.5 ton
Sunday was a beautiful day so we thought we would pull the old truck out of the garage. This is the first time in 20 years that it has moved under its own power. Then we just couldn't resist driving around the block a time or 2. What a thrill to experience all the familiar sounds and smells these trucks have. Still have some items to finish but the cab and chassis is almost complete. Next phase is to install a Gar Wood dump body from my parts truck.

Finally finished the dump bed and got it installed on the truck. I'm really pleased with the way the bed looks on the truck and it makes it ride a little better. Now for some mud flaps and marker lights. |

Re: 46 Ford 1.5 ton
Thanks guys! I think the 8.25x20's in the rear and the 7.50x20's front give the truck a nice stance.
Mark, are the dump bodies you have made by Gar Wood and do you have the hydraulic cylinders? Mine is leaking around the piston with the bed in the down position. M-H, nice truck! M-H trucks are way cool. |

Re: 46 Ford 1.5 ton
Have you tried repacking the rope seal?

Re: 46 Ford 1.5 ton
I did the two input shafts, but not the ram itself. I almost think they are meant to leak just a little.

Re: 46 Ford 1.5 ton
post a picture of the end of the cylinder, there are two types of packing for these cylinders, one is chevron and one is rope, which has been replaced with a Teflon packing. leaking in the down position could be wear on the cylinder--do they leak when raised?

I’ll get a better pic of the end of the hyd cylinder. There is a collar around the piston secured with 2 studs and nuts. I assume this is where the packing is. |
