My '42 Chevy pickup build

[GJunktionMike]

Something you migth look at on your brakes. On my 51 I had a hard time getting all the air out. Between where my line went up behind the cab and the flex hose down to the rearend. Where my fitting was at to the flex hose was the highest spot, I bleed it at that fitting and that got all the air out and my brakes worked perfect. But not sure if it is the same for you but worth looking at.

I will give it a try but I was looking up the rear wheel cylinder bore size and got me thinkin that I need a bigger bore master cylinder as they are 1 1/16" and I only have a 1" bore master cylinder so I am gonna try gettin a master meant for the same year truck as the rear end which has a 1 1/8" bore

Yeah I hope so - It's just that I never even thought about that when I started the build - So it's a big DUH moment on my parts - I feel a lil stupid LOL

Fan issues!!!

Well I have a loose connection in my fuse block for the fan and I can't get it figured out!! If I wiggle the wires right at the block it works but it doesn't seem to wanna work when I am driving

 

[LUCKY DEVIL 13]

Off to the glass shop for the next couple days to get the windshield done!!!

Well looks like I am gonna have to swap out the gears in the rear end on the truck But the good news is that I already found a set of 3.73 and a carrier for them

Thanx!!! The fenders are just trailer fenders I got from northern tool - I bought 4 of them and welded them together - I still have them but I need to make some other bracing to keep them from bouncing so I have them set to the side for right now
