Went out for a nice 60 mile drive tonight. Everything was great and I’m glad I brought along the ear plugs. That 6 bladed fan makes a tremendous amount of noise.

I've had people who I has following tell me the fan sounds like they are being followed closely by airplane. I've also learned that when a Chevrolet CMP gets quite driving down the highway that you have lost the fan belt. One point I would mention for anyone playing mix and match with crank shaft and fan pulley needs to be careful as the stock CMP fan pulley is slightly smaller than the crank pulley, while the latter 216 engines the fan water pump pulley is significantly smaller. This can result in fan being dramatically over speed. (I've done it) Glad you are getting to the point when you can enjoy driving after all your hard work. Cheers Phil

Phil. When I got home my wife said she could hear the truck long before I made the turn onto our street. I also notice people will turn and look about 60 yards away so that sound can carrry some distance.
Back on Canada Day when I lost the fan belt, that’s when I realized something was up with how quiet it got. Then the temp gauge started climbing. With yesterday’s great drive, the temp never went above 185-190on the gauge and the oil pressure was right at 10psi. As for the correct combination of pulley size. There is a multi page Service Bulletin on that topic. Even during the war there were a lot of different configurations.

The canvas covers for two large stowage bins are finished and have been installed. The local canvas place stitched on my straps for me without hassle.
I’m really enjoying how this truck is turning out.

NOS shifter plate installed. It’s almost too nice to use.

I also installed the canvas hip ring cover. I put in some wooden strips for the stiffeners. I’ve got to make the metal retaining strip that goes up on the roof. Not too sure how I’ll bend it lengthwise but I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
Lastly I’m trying to find the proper maximum allowable weight for the truck. The original is from a C60. I may just go with a standard 15cwt truck.
