Re: 1942 Chevrolet Flatbed that ate My Brain

Ok now my next problem. While the cab was sitting in the shop on a dolly I was working on the 49 Olds Woodie. I finally got it to start after a long engine and trans rebuild. All assembled, radiator in, wires all complete, 6 volt system with a new Optima. Put a little gas in the NOS 2 barrel carb and it fires off. Launches across the shop and runs into my cab and my Tig welder. Wow what ride that was. If you don't know these cars don't have park. They have neutral and you use a parking brake. Well i was surprised that I wasnt quite adjusted on my brake handle. So the damage was minimal. One welding cart destroyed welder is fine. Cab has a few more dings but the big problem is the rods from the cab to the radiator support. Those are noodles now. So my question is, what is the measurement from the fire wall to the radiator support and the I will make new ones
