Very nice.

The '51 style, introduced in mid-50, was the first major change to the Jeep truck since the introduction in 1946; the rolled over fenders, the round instrument cluster and the F-134...

Trucks were 16-inch rims.

The trucks of that era were rated for 6.50 or 7.00 tires. When I restored the '48, I decided to go with 6.50 x 16 tires vs. the bigger 7.00's.

These folks make a good selection of bias ply, small...

Tubes ... those rims may not have 100 per_cent welds to seal them.

It is best of you can bolt it to the block. There is usually a boss with a threaded hole just behind the generator. That was the original place. If you can get it under one of the bolts holding...

A. Yessir and Yes'maam. I was watching Wheel of Fortune last night and they were featuring Nashville,TN as a theme. All of the contestants were from the middle Tennessee area. One contestant, a...

Harumph. Don't call me "Sir". I served as a Senior Chief Petty Officer in the Reserve of the world's greatest Navy for 28 and a half years. I'm not a "Sir".

Actually, the adjustment is in the voltage...

" Didn't move when I hit the cable to it. ... "

That's a hint - and a good one. That sucker should just about jump off the bench running unloaded.

So, we're Elders, huh?

Everyone has to be someone ...

Concur with the advice to get the starter checked out. Even if it spins with no-load, things get a lot harder to do with a new engine tied...

A. Timken rear end, heavy duty - hard to find parts for. Open it up and look at it! (See pictures)

B. All of those fenders had the same stress cracks.

C. Aftermarket rear bumper. There...

It's looking better already. What I didn't see is encouraging - the metal mice didn't nibble away the bottom of the door. The rusty red sheen is really faded paint - not a thin coat of rust.

Tim:

Since there are only 4 valves in the head, your engine is an F-134. One would think the flathead would be an F-head, but the "F" describes the path fuel and exhaust take through the valve...
