I'm sure these are old leather/lead zink seals right? Anyway, I'll need a round of seals, front & back wheels and driveline, transfer case and differentials....... Also brake shoes need to be either replaced or relined (they're satuarated with #90
Any leads?
Did I mention to you all that I don't think this project would be near as much fun without the Stovebolters helping out?

CarQuest can still get parts for my 48 and NAPA says they have books that go back to the 30's.

I check them ALL especially for prices etc. Locally I found that my Advance Auto Parts can get a lot of stuff and it will be Federal-Mogul or other top brand and not some cheap after market that some discounters are known to carry. Since I'm bless to have all of the parts store in my area I ask "what brand" before I buy. On the same brand I find a better price with AdvanceAuto. Just this week I ordered another rear axle seal for a 37 since they are the same through 1962 I ask for a 1962!! Some of their books don't go back that far but they do for a 62 plus no shipping and overnight delivery. Its money and I am hard give more for something until I look around. Dale, I believe your truck is a 42 so you should have great luck locally. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 687 | I just bought all wheel seals, all brake shoes,all wheel cyl.'s, and all brake hoses for the 41 I am working on at Advance. I did my reserch first. They didn,t have a listing for 1941 so I found that most of the parts fit later models. Then I asked for them by a later year model and they had them.

I found a great resource in Vehicles of Victory These guys specialize in Military Chevy and GM trucks and parts...pretty cool. I found the original seals, Napa parts numbers, 60 year old original brake cylinders, lines and hose, and much more. By this time I'm done, I'll be able to go 37 MPH! And stop too.... | | |
