Picked up a few parts from another 'bolter here in SK. The fella has 52 stovebolts on his property, and is constantly buying more.
Got another radiator, splash pan (front bumper), rear window, windshields, complete front axle.
If you're in Western Canada, and need stovebolt parts (or another complete truck), I'd get in touch with him. Some of his cabs, make me wonder why I am messing around with the rusty bucket I have!
While I was there, he sold his grain truck to a fella in MB. It's a stovebolt, of course. As is his towtruck.
Didn't get too much done on the truck this weekend, started installing some shocks on the rear (easy, feel good task - putting something back on, rather than taking more things apart!). Did a bit more metal work around the windows (I don't quite have the dimensions correct on the drivers side). Some final grinding of some welds on the window support (those flappy wheels on angle grinders, are mint). Cleaned up the fuel pump, waiting on a rebuild kit. Practiced re-assembling it with the old parts. Getting the arm back in the eye, with the springs installed is a chore.
While I'm here, can tubeless tires be mounted on the original wheels? Or should I stick to tubed, bias ply tires?
