The semi wheel adapters just showed up

 

[MADDOG]

ooohhhh... Shiny!

Lookin' good!

 

[DILLIGAF]

Cut some 16gauge plugs and started cleaning up the firewall

Air tank brackets

 

[DILLIGAF]

Brackets worked out great.

Dropped off the Alcoas to get notched and picking up some 295/75R22.5 tires in Edmonton Tommorow before prices go up again. They are only 250 a tire

The Rat Rod will be on 40s

 

[DILLIGAF]

My buddy lent me his new Ram with the hurricane engine to go to Edmonton to pick up my tires.

I'm surprised I didn't get a ticket still blown away about 27 PSI for oil pressure.

Those 40s beside my 37s make them look like child tires

 

[DILLIGAF]

Finally figured everything out to fit my 1961 IH 12v heater in a 1960

Nothing some vevor diesel heater hose and adapters couldn't fix.

Now back to plugging holes on the cab

Do those air brake slack adjusters (they look like ones off S cam air brakes) allow you to position the cab at different angles?

Yup, I built a man size rotisserie , I saw this video a while back and said to myself if it works with an engine it would work on a Cab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDEpVvYgEiI

I will be adding one to my engine stand as well , they are only 35$ for the Adjuster and 38$ for the S Cam.

Flatheads were notorious for going through water pumps

 

[DILLIGAF]

Going to pick this up tomorrow.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Got the main brace put back in, cab is back on the truck to finish the floor.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Pretty happy how small the doghouse turned out.

Should be able to get the rest done tomorrow. The hard part is done.

How much room does that leave you to get at the bellhousing bolts? Looks good Ian

What about making the top panel a bolt in panel using tabs

After a valve adjustment on that DT, it shouldn't need to be worked on for a few hundred thousand miles or Kms. My two were bullet proof.
