(1/13) > >>

the old trucker:
  Hello Orin & welcome to the group. I understand you are doing a "woody" rebuild. I'm sure you'll find this site very interesting. So how far along are you in your rebuild ?? Do you have any pictures for us to see & admire ??  It seems like the Woodys are starting to make a comeback !!!!   LOOKING GOOD !!!  

                                                                                           A nosey Old Trucker.

Well I spent the better part of the day tracing out the two top 1x8s, what a day! Its been rebuilt before and 1x6s were used instead of 1x8s so there was a lot of head scratching. ??? Still tearing it down, slowly, trying to keep the patterns. Had it for 17 years now but never used it the last 2. Have a set of complete tracks and 8 shiny brass bushings ordered up, so it go for a few more years when i'm finished. ;)

   Looks like you got a lot more to start with than what I have. I'm pretty well at a stand still with mine. I'm just waiting for a couple of things to fall in place, I hope.
   Orin in the third pic from the bottom, I see the exhaust coming out from the rear & it looks like a 300/6 engine in her. How much room did you have for the muffler ?? Would you be able to get a couple of pics & measurements of the location of your engine mounts before the weather sets in too much. I have no body parts or frame pieces that I can use for clearance references, like the firewall or the rad. I would be greatly appreciate it. I hope you folks don't my changing the post heading. I hope this works.
   I wish you the best in your rebuild, & looking forward to updates in the future !!
 

                                                                                           OT.

Orin, you better watch what you post, The Old Trucker doesn't miss a thing in these photos (You do know that he used to work for CSI Newfoundland, right?). Don't be surprised if he spots some loose change in the grass in your yard. lol
Just teasing there OT, I know you are only trying to keep us on our toes.
