Kevin,
Good to see the project will get another chance! I agree with the others that it always brakes my heart to see previously restored trucks end up in a sad condition. I remember seeing an Austin K3(?) on HMVF, someones pride and joy about 30 years ago. When the original owner asked, it was soon discovered that the truck still existed, but it was now being used as a parts truck due to the sad condition it is in today. I don't know if it helps, but a guy here in Holland is offering a Ford F60L cab frame, front clip and some other parts. Clip is pretty rusted, but frame seems to be good. Is it just a matter of removing the extra brace in the frame to convert Ford into Chev.....or is there more than meets the eye? And what about wheel wells on a 3 Ton truck compared with a 15cwt? Alex

Hi Phil, Going to drop the pan tomorrow or thursday, I would like to change out the valves and seats but I dont want to brake the bank on engine parts. I think you are right about the piston pin causing the bore damage. I also want to turn this project round this spring/summer and have it on the road asap. The engine was overhauled in 1947 and has +40 thou on the main and big ends, bore is standard.
kev.
