46 Ford 1.5 ton

Very nice truck. Much like the "jailbar Ford" that I learned to drive on. It had 7.50x20 up front and dual 9.00x20s on the back although I removed the outer duals.

This is the collar I was talking about and where the leak is.

Thanks Ralph. Is that old Ford still around?

Yes, the old Ford is here but in pieces. The chassis was converted into a heavy two wheeled trailer over 40 years ago. And I get to see the grille every day I walk past my garage doors.

Should be able to just tighten those nuts on the packing gland a little.
If it still leaks try installing some new packing.

Winner winner chicken dinner! I tightened up those nuts and it appears to have fixed the leak. Thanks for the suggest.
