Hi all, It has been a while since I was here or working on my 34 pickup. Health issues behind me, and moving forward. I am replacing the sheet metal channel that runs across the bed under the tail gate. It is riveted in place for the most part, but has some interesting fasteners in three places...

Hi, I am replacing the end rail on my 34 pickup. I have drilled out the rivets and removed the rail. Looking at the tight areas like inside the stake pocket, how does one put the rivets back? There is at best 2" clearance inside the pocket. I can't see how a bucking bar or other instrument could...

Hi, I've been away for awhile. Med problems, but back at it again. My question deals with the length of the bars in a four bar front suspension system. As I purchased the truck years ago it had a dropped tube axle and the four bar was in place. It has 24" long bars. When I was reading Pete and...

Hi, Actually two questions, first, Is the small hole in the top of the shroud right below the radiator fill hole supposed to be round or some other shape. See the picture. Second, are all four radiator to shroud brackets identical. I only have one but can make more if they are the same. Thanks...

Hi, Has anyone had a transverse spring that was weaker on one side than the other? My 34 pickup seems to droop to the drivers side. The shackle is closer to the axle on the drivers side than the passenger side. When I jack the front horn of the frame so both sides are at the same height, the...

Hi, My 34 Pickup has mounting holes in the front fenders that I believe were once square for carriage bolts. As you can see in the attached pixs, they are now rounded or worse. Is there anyu trick to getting them back to usable? I thought maybe a thin 18 gauge piece on the underside that had the...

HI, Of all the tasks involved in rebuilding our beloved toys, I dread body work the most. I have a rear fender that has the extension that jogs over to the frame mangled pretty badly. Does anyone know of a resource for one of these pieces either NOS or repopped? I hate to think of having to fab...
