Hi guys,
Well, it looks like I got another project. This time it is not a tractor, but a 1938 Chevy 1.5 ton truck. Straight 6 gas engine, 4 speed standard with flat dump bed. Been sitting in a barn for 10-20 years and drove to where it is now. I can't quite move it yet to get it home, as one of the brake hubs was taken off to replace a leaking seal that was letting transmission fluid into the brakes. Also has a leak in one of the brake lines that I have to find but other than that it seems like it is in pretty solid condition and complete.
Hoping to be able to get the hub and tires back on soon so I can get it home. With a little bit of work and cleaning of the carb, fuel pump, and gas tank, I am hoping that it should start fairly easily. Then I'll have to start worrying about the brakes and finding a new rear seal.
If anyone happens to know of any good forums for old trucks/ old chevys, or any good places for truck parts please feel free to let me know. Have had a few problems finding parts like the rear seal. Not sure if the 1.5 Ton is the same parts as the 1 ton, but most parts I find are for 1/2 ton and 1 ton.
To keep it tractor related I plan on painting it the original red to have it match my Farmalls. Then I can bring both the tractors and truck to the fairs and show them side by side. Was considering putting the F-12 on the back but that would probably be too heavy.
Some pictures should be attached, more to come when I get it home.
