WHYDTYTT: What Have You Done To Your Truck Today?

I'm wondering if I'm like the reverends one hoss shay. And everything's perfect until the last day? -
WHYDTYTT: What Have You Done To Your Truck Today?
ArdWrknTrk replied to Gary Lewis's topic in Bullnose Enthusiasts Forum
I'm obviously not healthy as a horse, but evidently my heart is. No arrhythmia, no wooden or flaccid ventricles, no fluid in the pericardium. The flesh on my leg is still very tender and seems about like a pomelo. It's also bright red. But it's no longer ready to split like a tomato after a rain, or weeping plasma, so there IS that.! Knee replacement is an option, but they need imaging, and an* MRI is pointless until the swelling and pressure go down.\ The edema is troubling me, though. If I don't have any kind of cardiac condition, my liver, kidneys and blood work are all good. -
Awesome to see you're ready to move on. Your welding has improved a bit Shaun! A flap disc would hide 1,000 sins.

Then you need to ask yourself why YOUR 460/T-19 combo is wearing some unique freaking throw out arm, because every 460 from '83-'87 has a T-19 and uses one that's commonly available, if not new, (but I think Pioneer makes one) -

Plural. The cardiologist was to examine the edema in both legs. But despite smoking a pack of Camels a day for 50 years, I'm fit as a horse The edema is due to some lymphatic blockage below the waist. (not his job) The Ortho showed me the arthritis in all three capsules of my left knee, and where bone on bone had worn the joint out. (I'm falling apart!!! 😂😂😂) -

Today was a beautiful spring day! 70 degrees not much breeze..... And I had doctor's appointments, pretty much all day! 😖 A did manage to install Vivin's switch, a new pair of horns that are NOT from Horrid Fate, and get a bunch of parts decreased and prepped for both tightening. Lots of cotton swabs to get the cosmoline out of the threaded blind holes. A yellow paint marker to indicate which bolts had been torqued properly. -

You need an oxy/acetylene torch. It can't be frozen when it's molten! -

PTO's are kinda universal. Is yours Chelsea, Eaton, what??? The same bellhousing 2 or 4wd. It's the gearbox tailshaft that differs. I can look up the 1st gear ratios if you like, but there's absolutely no reason to change the gearbox if all you need is a throwout arm. -

I was in excruciating pain last night. I asked without bothering to look. Appreciate the info, Vivek -

I replied to your WTB. This is not impossible, I use a 351 slave w/ bleeder to pump a loop to the MC reservoir. It fits right on. But DO NOT waste your time with a T-18. If you're going to swap Gearboxes go with a Zf-5 S42/7 -
LOOK what I found under my floor mat! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Vivek kindly sent me his spare. ❤️ I will make a follow-up, to show how it goes, for those who have never had their parking pedal out.

No ALL 460's & IDI's use a T-19 I bought a new one for my truck. But it went when I swapped to Zf-5 Kevin, I am a very resourceful individual, and I can help. But I have my rear end torn apart, and have just got out of the hospital, so it may take a bit Again ANY manual IDI or 460 has a T-19💡 I hope this helps, and I will help you. But I have a whole lot of to get done RN. Good luck.

Yes, it is low rpm (would have to be with a 14' stroke) Piston speeds are about right for the metallurgy and clearances available back then. Bill just got through building a model of the Titanic engines He can't do much because of his back, until the 15th, when they will do a spinal injection. He has posted pictures and information -

Giant ship engines were splash lubed and they run almost 24/7 for decades. -
Welcome Ian! Gary's told us a bit about you and your hard work cleaning up that French truck! You certainly look happy, and despite the setback it's a perfect project to learn on. Your grandpa is very resourceful and knowledgeable, you can learn a lot from him. Maybe soon, you can give your dad a hand w/ Li'l Blue too?

Measure the outside. "It's only sheet metal" Can you not measure the pinch weld and subtract? -
