Need the vacuum wiper linkage and tower (only driver side) for a '39 truck. Mine's a 1-1/2 ton flatbed.

Thanks, Lawson.....that's what I needed to know; level of effort for proper operation. (Already knew about the tomato but that's a good reminder, too!)

Thanks for this post discussion, fellas. My '39 1-1/2 ton flatbed has the vacuum wiper motor. I removed it and, next time I started up the truck, heard quite a bit of vacuum noise going on at the open end of the hose so clearly THAT end works. I sucked up some ATF by working the mechanism -...

So rotorwrench, would you please provide some sources for 6-volt bulbs, lamps, light? Thanks!

Heh! Thanks for all the bright news!!! Srsly, 'preciate it. I'm hoping that it's tall stance and nice ground clearance might make for an easier time but, while I was down there, it looked anything but straight forward. John, thanks for the heads-up re. the top end.

Looking for one in useable condition to use as spare.

So I got my hands on a 2" socket and a 3/4" drive breaker bar, sprayed some Liquid Wrench on the oil pan filler plug, tapped it, and with only a little tug got 'er spinning off. Carefully positioned a drain pan underneath and spun it completely off annnnnnnnnd absolutely NO fluid drained out...

Sooooo.....check this out then. Hemmings has commenced to make zinc rich oil! http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2012/09/21/hemmings-introduces-zinc-rich-motor-oil-formulated-specifically-for-classic-cars/?refer=news

Well, see....that was just one worm's worth, not a whole can. That's really all I needed!

Aight.....disregard my post then. Close it. My initial boards search yielded nothing....a subsequent search yielded much more, including can o' worms references. I think I've got enough information to work with on my own. Wasn't my intention to irritate the senior members or anyone else.

So my 1939 1-1/2 ton flat bed is running nicely. Thought it a good idea to change the oil, etc. Took it to a local Jiffy-Lube; they didn't have a socket wrench big enough to fit that big oil pan plug. But while they were scratching their head, they asked what kind of oil I wanted. I asked...

My shop manual suggests penetrating oil.....

My '39 1-½ ton flatbed has a srsly dried out bed. It's sound enough but looks so dry. Appears to be a tongue-in-groove material but can't tell what species of wood. Half thinking of giving it a sanding try and sealing it. Some of you fellas have absolutely gorgeous pickup beds but utility comes...

Have the beast back.....that lever on the left is, indeed, for a 2-speed rear axle! It's a solid linkage, not a cable. The e-brake cable crosses over it on the way to the back end. The high speed is currently not operable but there's a shop in town that'll repair that. In low range the lever is...

SUHRsc Alpine Fencing Cañon City, COLORADO phone number We have a registered logo and I suspect we'll want to have a version of that as well.....

Have been having some work done on my '39 1-½ ton flatbed and it's time to pick it up from the shop. One of the next steps is to repaint it. Going to use it, very occasionally, in the business, delivering materials to the job site. I think it would be somewhat sacrilegious to put a vinyl sign...

Henry, that's exactly where this shift lever is!http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2351760122988.2138406.1519689659&type=1#!/photo.php?fbid=3685608148355&set=a.2351760122988.2138406.1519689659&type=3&theater

Thanks, fellas. Bob, The truck is off-site at the moment and we're having an unusual (for these parts, believe it or not) spring snow. I'll have a look-see and compare it to your picture. Thanks for sending it MGvH

Subject is a '39 1-1/2 ton truck, 157" wheelbase, model 997T. Has a large shift lever on the floor by the driver's side door, linkage heading towards the rear. Did these trucks have (the option of) a 2-speed rear end?
