G506 in Brazil - Just got my resto-project!

[Skull Crusher]

Brazil's weather has done a great job keeping this one alive! Chorrasco and Skol? Sim!!

Yep Dude!

Churrasco & Skoll!

I'm trying to get a pair of RWs 5 ton here in order to start my F-100 build up!

Cross your fingers for this come out nice & easy and we'll have this buid up on Pirate 4x4 too!

The G506 is fine, thanks, I did not have enough time to come there to take the starter off and check the engine block numbers.

I went to a junkyad this Saturday to check the 5 ton axles and got some CCKW pics, I hope you all enjoy them:

That is quite the collection there. What is the history of this batch? They are wonderfully preserved compared to our rustbelt troubles... Where are these?

They are here near my home, SP! When you come by the winter time, try to show up here at home and can take you there!

I think all off them con run if we given them some carb clean up and press the pedal!

About their history, I don't really know, I must spend more time with my friend over there for him to talk but I'll try to come with more info!

 

[Skull Crusher]

Well...

After many months of limbo overhere, I've got some news!

The pics can speak for themselves...on the first batch are the new tires I will use.

 

[Skull Crusher]

These are of the engine & transmission that are going to be swapped in.

 

[Skull Crusher]

Specs:

• tires are 10.00x20
• engine is a GM6 - 292
• transmission is a Clark 240F

Not intending to be a restoration...just a truck I can have fun with.

I hope you all not getting mad with my building ideas...

See you'round!

cool pics. Theres more WW2 deuces around the world then I thought. but hey, what do I know?

 

[MidnightDuramax]

Those tires are awesome! Any more info on them?

 

[Skull Crusher]

Thanks for the compliments!

So, these are some 10.00x20 retreaded rubbers with a nasty one tread...down here these retreading companies are booming everywhre cause new agressive truck tires are impossible to locate and to import some they will ask you an arm & leg for

 

[Dieselholic92]

those are some aggressive tires! just curious, do they cut the tread by hand?

very nice project by the way. cant wait to see some more updates!

its like those trucks were frozen in time

They are hand cut and hand laid over the overall tire surface prior vulcanizing and despite the fragile looking all those rubber blocks have an awesome resistance.

I think they are not the prettiest tires around but they do work.

There are some videos of G506 overehere, making use of the very same tires I have. The owner has swapped in a 2.8L turbodiesel. I personally dislike this engine since it's a bit small for my taste for this truck.I prefer to stay all Chevy from bottom to top!

I hope you all enjoy!

Yeah, those trucks are really small wonders and keep good old stories alive!

 

[Skull Crusher]

So...it grew up a bit!

Well folks

There have been a lot of time since I came over here to post up....so I came with some news...

May be you like, may you don't...but I'll post them anyway...

I was trying to get some bigger tires to my truck and by the beginning of this year I got them mounted...they are some 10.00x20 cacasses reatreaded by a friend of mine...I know the wheels are not correct for the period, but I do not have the original ones and also the 10.00x20 fit a lot better on those large rims I'm running.

I hope you enjoy the truck and how it looks!

Skull- that truck looks great with those tires and wheels. I sure love the rounded body lines of that old iron. Keep up the good work and keep posting pics.

Thanks all of you for enjoying & posting overhere!

By the way, I've got a '67 Willys Wagon and I'm getting her in a wheeling condition and that is consuming my free time but as soon as possible I'm going to swap the old 235 in favor of my 292+T18 combo!

Cheers!
