The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 1953 gmc coe deluxe

Over this weekend we got the replacement power brake booster that I won off ebay. The one on the truck was a little rusty from sitting. We had to cut off the steps as someone had brazed them on at some point. The original flanges were rusty or gone. I will repair them so that the steps will bolt on.

All the tune up parts are here for the truck so, we can continue to complete the tune up. We will flush out the fuel tank this week and run new hose lines. By the end of the week we should be ready to start the truck up. But, we will be on hold till the carb. gets back.

We are in the hopes to have this truck fired up by the end of the month. We did order new Rat. hoses and will also, replace any other hoses for the cooling system. I can not wait to hear this motor purrrrrrr.

By the way the booster is the original bendix unit
