Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Very nice truck! A suggestion for tires that I put on my '37 stake last year. 6.50 - 16LT from Specialty Tires of America http://www.stausaonline.com/ (Made in the USA). STA Super Transport LT Bias Ply tube type. To keep them round when my truck is parked, I use Flatstoppers.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
On the 36 truck windows is there not some type of rubber piece that keeps water from going between the window and door?

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
I've gotten to a point where I'm ready to start this up but when I tried there was not enough juice to turn it over. I charged the battery up and tried it again but still got the same thing, I'm using a 6V optima battery to get this going. I've been under the impressing, or thought this is a 6 volt system this whole time and wonder if it's possible these are 12V? One note is that all lights and horn work perfect with this battery, it's positive ground. It's just a shot in the dark but thought I'd post a few pics to see if it's possible to tell the difference? I am using a 6volt starter solenoid.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
I did. So simple and such a lesson for me. I added a ground from motor to frame and bam!

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
On the batter cover, that goes on the wooden floorboard, do you just use wood screws to hold that on? I don’t find anything that says what to do there?
Thanks. |

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
The battery cover is a hold over from the model a era. Its held in place with spring strips.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Drake, Carpenter, C&G and others carry them. They cover a much small oval hole located in the floor board above the battery.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
I thought I'd give an update as I finished the interior last night. I'm getting pretty close, hope to have this 4 year project done this week. I had a couple of questions I was hoping someone could chime in on.
1). The steering box says to use "heavy duty gear oil" what would that be? 2). My fuel gauge sits on E when it's at idol but goes up, to what I think is correct, as my RPM's raise. Any suggestions on where to start? 3). I don't love the cut that shows at the ebrake in the mat. Anyone have a better solution? |

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Probably redundant but get a copy of the so called Green Bible as a great reference source.

Re: 1936 Truck restoration
Geez , quite different than mine .. So clean
1. Just use a semi fluid grease you'll be fine 2. mm dont know I use an aftermarket SW gauge. 3. not much you can do there is a boot that slides over the E brake, I cut a long flap that sits at the bottom of the E brake, under the floor mat so it covers any hole thats there backwards or forwards.
