That is the bead lock. Nobody uses them. You need to disassemble the wheel for sandblast! And DONT sandblast the radiator!!!! You did!!!

 

[foxtrot]

The rims are very damaged, a first sandblasting is necessary.
I sanded the radiator to recover the water boxes in order to rebuild a radiator with a new tank (harness).

They all look like they need a little TLC, but even so - Pretty Amazing!

I forgot this one, it got my full attention.
You will see it in the thread as I will be taking these wheels to move the 6x6.
I also need to reverse the headlight grilles which are not correct.
I'm still going too fast without thinking.

Next year he will be 80 years old.

In frame rebuild? Usually that isn’t possible on trucks this old.

For the moment all the lights are green, nothing prevents me from starting.
I will raise the cab, it will be more practical.

 

[foxtrot]

The cab removed, I continue my work on the preparation of the peripheries around the engine.

I'm about to bolt the cylinder head on this Dodge T223 engine.

Nice save.

I think there is a company in Europe that makes replica truck beds for the WC's.

 

[foxtrot]

You read my mind, Wolfen.

 

[TroyWilcoxson]

Great work. Keep it up.

 

[foxtrot]

Thanks, Troy.

 

[Bulldogger]

Great progress again as usual. Well done, keep it up!
