Ha! I never considered that. Did they make a speedometer with Kilometers?

Bought a parts truck a whole back, and it came with an interesting set of gauges (speedometer mainly). I've searched around to see where they came from, or who made them. Haven't had any luck identifying them, maybe someone here could help. The speedometer goes up to 120mph! Any input would be...

I have a project 1952 Suburban for sale. No motor or transmision. Has front row of seats, solid body, glass, all window trims, headliner bows, visor and barn doors. Call Robert at 661-201-9231 or shoot me an email at [email protected]

No prob. Happy hunting!

cmkruse, I was down at the Pomona swap this weekend and I saw quite a few sets of 15" with the smooth center. As a matter of fact I was in your same boat. I had a set of three 15" and needed one more. Took me while to get the fourth as no one wants to break up a set. From why I know they are car...

Simply awesome.

That would be the case wouldn't it! If we lived in a perfect world we wouldn't have to modify a darn thing.

I bought a frame mount booster one time. It didn't fit with a turbo 400 under there (this was before my infatuation with the inline 6). Crossmember should be the same regardless of the tranny. I thought it was advertised to mount in the same master cylinder location without any modificaitions...

Yes it is. Small world ain't it?

I too am looking at 15" tires on my '51 1/2 ton. I have the six lug 15" rims, can someone recommend a stock looking tire size in radials?

I'm PM'ing you the info I have. Pretty sure it's the same guy. Nevertheless, this guy has tons of parts and trucks.

Yes, I believe your talking about Joe. He ownes quite a few trucks I actually bought a Suburban from him (which oddly enough I'm selling now). His yard is right next to my company's office. Is that who you're referring to?

FYI. After a little searching, I found Lee's Power Steering in Sun Valley. He rebuilds all types of steering boxes. Told him my situation and he told me they take apart the boxes and magnaflux all parts, and if the worm gear is worn they will weld and grind the gears to their original specs...

Thanks for the advice Nate. I'll take a look at that option, I appreciate the advice.

Interesting that this post came up. I'm about to rebuild mine as well (or purchase a rebuilt one). My 51 was a farm truck, it had overload springs and the whole works. The steering was loose, and I mean it had a LOT of play. I was told that not even a rebuild or adjustment would get this "play"...
