Gror's rebuild
the old trucker:
Hey boys is that all is up around your way is rusty old fords ?
What about a 292 chevy ? Thanks Gror for the pics. There great!!!
Keep taking a scattered pic once in awhile. Don't wait till the end.
My ol' ticker may not be able to take the pressure of waiting.
the old trucker:
Gror, how many wires are needed to go from the engine compartment to the dash area ? I'm curious because on tractor trailers there is a seven way wire that joins the lights from truck to trailer. It's (7) 14 gauge wires encased in heavy rubber & can be bought in any length. It's also available with 4 & 6 wires. Thought it may make everything a little neater & easier to work with ! Put a junction block on each end. No more cutting, joining or taping wires!!!

Thanks for the info Old trucker, But I already have that covered. Found a 30ft piece of seven condutor 12Gauge teck with just the right wire in it. Like you say nice and neat and water proof to.
the old trucker:
In the ninth pic down I noticed what I call the bell housing has all the top half broken off. The clutch looks to be fairly new.
Almost looks like someone couldn't get the housing off to get at the clutch assembly. Please correct me if I am wrong, I'm not a mechanic.
Gror, are you thinking about keeping the stock rad or replacing it with something newer ? Last question for the day. When the new trans is in & buttoned up how would you use the shifter. What I mean is in a normal situation you'd pull back to put it in a forward gear. Will yours move the opposite way ?
Keep up the great work & please take pics.

Gror,
Nice rebuild project, the pictures are great for reference and for all the other members to enjoy your efforts.
Regarding OT's comments about the bell housing, I was wondering if there was a story behind that as well.
Are you thinking of using birch to replace the rotten wood?
I may be confused about the Model B12 CS - I thought the S stood for "Special", but from the looks of pics #5 & #6 Bombardier must have offered a "Safari" package in 1950.
Looks like you are on the way to having a great unit. Keep the pics posted and Good Luck.
