So I have a '49 3100 which I bought as a pile of parts with a title to bail out a friend whose wife said that he had one too many projects.
I already had a project of my own in progress, but what are friends for. All I had to do was lie to my wife and keep it hidden from her.
Anywho, My original plan was to assemble it, new brakes and in running condition with era correct parts, and sell it as a project for someone else, and make some money to finance the project that I was already in the middle of.
I fixed obvious drivetrain components, but didn't go over it with a fine tooth comb. It was intended to be sold as a project truck.
Well that all changed, as I lost my mind and decided midstream to do a full on, resto-mod, trophy queen.
There's 7500 miles on it now and I has developed a clunkety clunk going on while driving on uneven road surfaces. I jacked it up and wrestled with the tires and banged around with a dead blow hammer, but could not replicate the conditions to make the noise I was hearing on the road.
Rather than finishing my story to tell everyone what I found, and how I found it, I thought that it would be a good exercise for y'all to ponder this issue and see what y'all would do under such circumstances to troubleshoot this.
Feel free to ask questions just as though I am stumped (I truly was stumped until this evening).
