I have the upgraded Flikr subscription so I can post them all if there is interest. Here is the first one (1950 More Power To You) it takes me some time to post these so let me know if you find them of value? http://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/8250842127/in/set-72157632186114015 | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 419 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 419 | Aesthetically pleasing period pics, Brad!
Great monochromatic studies!

i thought the "hold while the operator turns over the record" slide was amusing... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 Socket Breaker | | Socket Breaker Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 2,893 |
A lot of neat stuff in there for the AD crowd!

Thanks for your work in posting. I really enjoyed the 1950 filmstrip - even the slide telling the operator to flip the record. The filmstrip has a wealth of detail pictures. I snagged a few and I'm sure that I will get more.

I'm sold on the new Chevs, and feel like a chump for having a '49, the 1950 seems so much more powerful!
Thanks for sharing this with us.

I really think that you should contact Peg and John and find a way to establish a permanent link to your work. Perhaps in the Tech Tips links?
Thanks so much.

Perhaps in the Tech Tips links? +1 on what DrewP said...permanent link.  | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | I will send them the details. It was a long labor of love for sure. I purchased a collection of over 600+ films, almost all Chevrolet with the exception of 1949-50 Nash. They are all kinds, some technical others for salesman training. I have them broken into four main libraries, AD trucks, early 50's cars, late 50's cars/trucks and 1930's - 1940's cars and trucks. More to come as I drop them in I will post the updates here. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | I have contacted Peggy and will be setting up a permanent link for these, until I get things all done I will keep posting one a day to Flikr. Tim tonight for your interest I will post up one of my 54' strips. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 |
Excellent, Brad.
Those are the best instructions that I have seen on doing a Bendix brake job. The illustration of the parking brake parts connected to the rear brake shoes is better than in any Shop Manual.
Thanks,

It looks like my Panel is in the before photos! | | | | | 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 | Thats a good one Brad, Thanks.
Sometime ago I "think" there was a question about the hole in the body at the bottom of the rear barn door at the catch. The pic #0378 I believe answers that question as you can see the spare tire support is straight and the bolt that holds it goes straight up and through the body.....I'm not sure we ever confirmed this or not but...just saying.
Notice several other things to!!
Thank You again Brad. You da man. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | Hey Alvin,
I actually have blanks of those 1950 forms shown in the film would you like one for your panel? I recently found an original 1950 salesman order folder with everything intact. I will post some photos of it to my site.
