Re: Corona Project!

So I found a surprise when I removed the Heater/Defrost unit. Were heaters optional on this truck? Anyway, I was surprised to find a Ford heater and there did not seem to be a surplus of holes in the firewall to indicate there had been a different heater installed. So far I have not found too many Warts for the age of the truck. I did give up on trying to unbolt the small fasteners with Phillips heads, even with lots of WD40 they were not coming apart. Luckily most broke with a little more tightening. Removing the rivets has been a little more fun!

Re: Corona Project!

I have been working on filling the Swiss Cheese holes in the frame. (Good welding practice) There are hundreds of them and while I get the removed rivets caused some, I have no idea what a lot of the other holes are for. Anyway, I built a cab dolly and the cab came off today so I can get at the rest of the holes. Then I will send the frame out for blasting and a good prime before starting the rebuild.
