Does anyone know what the difference would be between a 1 ton panel and a pickup?
I'm also posting this in panel and burbs. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,388 | I don't know of any frame difference between the two, though I've only ever see one, ton panel. I don't remember seeing any difference listed in the shop manual. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,107 | take the # off the bearing and replace it with like kind. if you cant read the # take the bearing to your bearing house and they will get you hooked up. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .

If you need the whole thing place a wanted ad on this site, I expect you'll find what you need, even if you don't know exactly what you need yet..

I was kinda hoping someone might know the specific differences. The local drive shaft rebuilder can't find one, so I was hoping to get some info. I will put up an ad though. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | you may want to try Obsolete Truck Parts in Nashville Georgia.
They have NOS stuff on hand and might....might have just what your looking for. Its worth a try. If they don't maybe they can lead you in the right direction. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 | you may want to try Obsolete Truck Parts in Nashville Georgia.

Thanks though. I'm gonna pick mine up from the drive shaft shop and see if i can find one that can be made to work. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 | Thanks for the lead. I sent him a PM as suggeste. I'm getting really close to having this thing on the road, so I am getting excited. Can't wait to get it out of the shop so I can get some decent pics. BTW when reading about one of your post, you mentioned Rickson Wheel. I ended up buying wheels from them and they look great. Looking forward to rolling on them. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Good to hear about Rickson.
I'd like to stop in again and see how they've got the shop set up now and what they can do, they were just getting into manufacturing wheels when I was there last.
