I’ve got a blower in my own garage that hasn’t started in a few years.

Thanks Kevin, your comments do the same for us?

Thanks 👍

Thanks Scotty, check out our most recent video. Got that forward hinge hood done-ish.

Yes! Thank you, the ‘53 GMC he’s building has the setup I was remembering.

Nice! Love the 60’s to mid-70’s F100’s

The ‘41 Flathead has been swapped previously. It’s an 8BA.

The dash lights never worked. The fuel gauge could be something as simple as a stuck float. I have no idea when the last time the tank was filled. Was hoping it was electrical, but doesn’t appear to be related to the fusible link.

@@Xthreadgarage Wouldn't surprise me if there was some mouse-induced buggery that happened. Or a few other fusible link wires that decided to nope out. I'll check the C10 Workshop Manual for anything that would jump out at me.

Yes! Thank you.

We did walk down that road, but the issue ended up being bad remanned starters. Been running great for months now. No starter issues.

If you want to email us I can get you the info on the C10, including price. I don’t want to use our channel as a public forum to discuss how much we spend or make on a project. Happy to talk with you privately if you’re interested. Crossthreadsalvage@gmail.com

Yes it was. We must have a bit of overlap between audiences because you’re the 3rd or 4th person to remind me where I saw it. Thanks!

K8lynn also wants to make it look like it did when it was in use with the CCC. The OD green on the firewall could be matched. I (dad) am a fan of letting a vehicle tell its own story, that's why I like the patina. We'll see who wins in a few months. Thanks for watching.

@@Xthreadgarage K8lynn is a smart girl. When I look at it, I think it was used on a farm & was painted with Allis Chalmers tractor paint. To be as old as it is, the cab is in amazing shape. I would expect it was stored under a roof for at least part of its life. Believe it or not, that build tag on the glove box door adds to the value of the truck. That grill is going to be a chore to find but they are out there. It will be interesting to see which engine the flathead is. It will either be a 221 cubic inch or a 239 cubic inch. The bore size of the pistons were different but the stroke & connecting Rod length will be the same for both engines. The power rating of both engines was rated @ 90 hp. The first new car my dad bought after WW II was a 1950 Custom with a 239, by that time they had increased the compression ratio & boosted the power to 100 hp. There are lots of speed parts available for these engines, multiple carburetor intake manifolds, the fancy finned aftermarket heads, high capacity water pumps and exhaust headers. When she gets older she might want to do some of this. Every year I attend a local street rod show here in our community called Frog Follies. It is for street rods where the base vehicles were built before 1947 (that truck would qualify). My beater is a 1955 Chevy so I just drive it out there and park in the back 40, but there are parts vendors there that sell parts for my cars. She could restore that truck to be the ultimate sleeper -- plain Jane on the outside with performance parts on the inside. I have always loved flatheads and at the show, they always impress me more than the small block Chevys that appear by the hundreds. They also have a very distinctive sound when used with performance mufflers. I would hope K8lynn would look forward to keeping that truck and driving it for the rest of her life. I can see a really pretty oak bed on the back with hand made wooden sides and a hand-crafted tailgate. That would be so gorgeous with the dark green paint on the cab and interior. I would go with tan or brown Naugahyde seats and some of the original rubber floor mats. She would be the envy of the entire neighborhood and the truck would be worth some real money!
