I finally found the time to dismantle the motor and discovered that the pistons in it are .40 oversize. Two of the pistons were lightly rusted to the cylinder walls. Pitting on the cylinder walls is very minor so I'm thinking that I can take another .20 off to smooth things out. This is, of course, assuming that someone out there has .60 oversized pistons available. Does anyone know where these may be available?
Any other thoughts who has the best prices on the gaskets/other motor parts I'll be needing? The babbit and crankshaft look pretty good so I'm hoping to get away with using what I've got on the bottom end of things.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions?

P.S. I did manage to finish grinding down to bare metal this truck's frame this summer. Looks a whole lot nicer with a fresh coat of primer.

Thanks,
