Next step was to pull apart the steering box , overall it was in good condition just gave it a good clean , re greased everything and made new gaskets for it.
Sent in my radiator to get re-cored. the guy ended up using a hilux core and re-using the top tank and making it work with that and the bottom tank he fabricated to fit in the frame. the cores abit thinner than the original but you wont reallt notice in once everything in , I wasn't going to spend $2,000 on an NEW original honeycomb core The last photo was the diff in the vise , with me about the check the backlash of the gears

pistons
Quote:
I see you have flat top pistons in that 216 ? . This would be a 1941 onwards US sourced engine. The head was designed to go with those pistons. The Canadian engines had the domed cast iron pistons e.g. CMP's used . If you try to fit the other type of head the domed pistons hit the head ! They also changed the valves and other minor changes , so be aware of this when ordering parts

so after everything got sandblasted and got new bushes for the shackle pins, I got everything put back together and painted and started working on the steel work of the tray.
when most of these trucks came out here , the aussies put an 8mm strengthening plate along the side of the chassis to beef the load capacity to 3ton mine started to delaminate so I had to take it of and make up new ones. the originals were riveted on, instead of re riveting it I brought 13mm bolts and bolted it back up , and then ran a bead of truck silicone on the joints to prevent water from getting in there again
