Some interesting bits on the seat back. Cover was replaced with new vinyl in the mid 60's and the seat back placed on a high shelf in a dry barn. On Sunday I pulled it down, thinking my Daddy would get a kick out of using it on his pickup after all these years. I guess the mice had a...

After assembling new cast iron drums on the original hubs, having them turned and installing, the fronts went on like a dream. The right rear a little snug but it would still turn. The left rear would not go on all the way by hand nor turn. After further examination it was discovered that...

Good morning All, Rebuilding the horn from Daddy's pickup, picking up where he left of in '68. Looks like he was trying to make 1 out of two. I have all the parts located and am curious how the screen is installed. My idea at the moment is to make a gadget to depress the center while...
