Hi, could you please tell me the place where you found the SL-3131 grease? I would like to contact them. I am having no luck finding it.

Could you please tell me where you found the SL-3131 grease? I would like to contact them. Thanks

As it turns out, I was probably overconcerned about the exact grease used and needed. With some misinformation (from this site), my lack of knowledge of the '35 model 51 full floating axle and my old memory, I made some assumptions. Not long after I bought and got the truck drivable, my brakes...

I too need a similar product. How about the Sta-Lube #3111 'new generation' wheel bearing lube for drum and disc brakes?

I'm about to re-assemble the rear hubs on my '35 model 51 truck. It does not have the conventional rubber seals, and needs a heavy grease like 3131. I see Sta-Lube now has a 'new generation' wheel bearing grease #3111. Can anyone tell me if this will work in place of #3131? Thick, short fibrous...

It is 1-1/2 ton, you could keep other toys in the bed! :D

Well, after a few years of very intermittent work on this truck, I have decided to sell or trade it. Life gets in the way so much, and I just don't have the time or ambition to continue to complete the truck. For anyone interested, it runs but I am currently working on the rear brakes and rear...

Thank you, Bruce. I am fortunate, my truck was pretty complete, and does have the original tools, even that big socket! There are two yellow painted bolts, partly threaded into the axle end, at opposite sides, held by a nut. I looks like somebody left me some axle loosening bolts. I should have...

I am hoping that someone can steer me toward some information on how to remove and reinstall/service/torque the wheel hub/brake drum assemblies on my 1935 Ford 1-1/2 ton truck. It has full floating rear axles. I am mostly interested in the rear. I have a stuck rear brake, but have never had...

1935 Ford Stakebed model 51 1-1/2 ton I'm still working on it, but I have a good start.

I have a 1935 Ford Big Truck, with the 85HP Flathead V8. I am having trouble getting it to run properly. I have owned this vehicle a short time, and when I got it, it didn't run, and all I did initially was to swap battery posts because it was wired backwards, and clean the coil terminal for...

Thank you all for your effort, I found one.

I have a 1935 Big truck (model 51), with the original hydrostatic fuel gauge system. I am in the process of cleaning out the fuel tank and restoring a corroded fuel gauge sender. The sending unit is in restorable condition, for the most part, but the main air chamber is too far gone to repair...

I FOUND ONE, THANK YOU ALL. I have a 1935 Big truck (model 51), with the original hydrostatic fuel gauge system. It is the same as the pickup, the sender mounts on the bottom of the fuel tank. I am in the process of cleaning out the fuel tank and restoring a corroded fuel gauge sender. The...
