Nice work. Thanks for posting the photos.
What is the status of your drive train?
Do you still have the Hydra-Matic: engine, transmission, and rear end?
Will you be using that drive train?
Would you tell us more about the automatic adjusters used with the original brake assembly?
Please keep posting progress-photos.
I think the truck was originally built at the factory with a Hydra-Matic transmission.
Because of the riveted on ears on the frame, for the removable cross member to service the Hydra-Matic transmission.
If this is the same
TRUCK at sometime in the life of the truck the drive train was changed.
It now has a 4 speed tranny.
As you can clearly see the toe board is arched.
No gas pedal on toe board, but is on tranny service panel.
And the push button start switch above headlight switch.
Only Hydra-Matic trucks came with these features.
The owner may not know he has a Hydra-Matic Cab and frame.
