Default Maybe......

Hi Eric

On the voltage regulator I doubt that the original would have lasted 65 years... hard to tell.... all the ones I have seen on old trucks do not have the red tag on them.

In any event you probably would not want to trust it anyways. The best source for a replacement...plain black almost same size as the orignal... is a farm tractor shop and they will have repro in 12volts and 6 volts....... with the saem connections.

On your removable nose bracket...... best bet is to find a suitable size angle iron and fabricate your own....... the original was made from a 1/8 thick flat steel bent in a large press..... a local steel shop can bend it for you.... all depends how original you want to be.

Good luck

Boob

Default Getting good with a torch....

...and a hammer.

Now you will have to fill in that half moon hole cut out of the front bumper...... it never ends.

The flat stuff is not too hard ....it is shaping some of the curved parts that will give you a headache.

Keep sluggin' at it.
