Default Hope this helps Lionel

Been through this exercise before Lionel...wrt tyres and rims...

Davids explanation is great so I wont add anything else to confuse. Just some pictures...

The thread I posted on this truck is called 'Its infectious' and is on the Softskin Forum. You'll also see the hoops I jumped through in regards to the front brakes.

G'day Tony,

Thank you for the reply Tony. I did remember the "it's infectious" link thank you. I think I even contributed a mis-direction about the front brakes too accidentally. How is the restoration of this Chevy and your 2wd Ford CMP going? Any updates

Kind Regards
Lionel

Default It's a Fraud

Lionel,
The vehicle in the attachment on your #11 post is a Ford. I'm not really familiar with them but two things readily identify the marque. One is the three ribs on the door just below the window.
The other is the radiator divided down the middle. The V8 had two water pumps and the radiator had two inlets and two outlets, an inlet and outlet for each side. They are unmistakable.

David

Hello Lionel,

Don't worry about hijacking the thread mate. Would be good to have everything on the one heading for the 1. 1/5 L/L Chevs.

Getting back to your rear brake light, I would guesstimate it is original or close to it as far as year of manufacture goes. Mine had smaller and more conical shaped ones which I believe are avail on the reproduction market if you wanted to compare them.

These show other types. Seems to be a lot of variants unfort.

Cheers
