Martinius, I will be keeping the original Sinclair HC Gasoline logo on this truck's door... but I will probably have a Dino on the dashboard...
Now THAT is one cool photograph!!! Thanks for sharing. Damon
Got a short update today. Jim and I worked on the passenger side cab floor and the passenger side door over the past couple days. I forgot my...
I wish I would've known this a few months ago. The machinist I took my engine to (a guy I trust with eons of experience) recommended the...
Being a new guy here, I haven't had the privilege of hearing all of the great stories... but I will certainly express the benefit of 'knowing' ya,...
I'm wondering on this myself. My first attempt at rebuilding a 235 was a truck motor with mechanical lifters... which had the extra oil line...
Thanks for the tip, ol' chebby. The Altman's may happen in the future, but since mine are fine, I'm gonna stick with the stock latches for now....
ccharr and ol' chebby, Thanks for the info. I've read all of those threads before. The money isn't there right now for the fancy stuff. I...

Thanks, guys! Another update: the cab is now completely stripped, except for the glass and the two front cab mount bolts. I will wait to...
Thanks for the comments, guys! Thank you also for your input on heaters. My half-ton cab still has the deluxe fresh-air heater in it, so I...
Continued... I was hoping you folks could give me some input on heaters. The one from this truck, I believe, is the deluxe model. It’s in great...
Here are some photos from yesterday’s work. First up… three pictures of what I started with. When I bought the truck last summer, it was...

I got a little bit done the past couple of days. I was able to use a friend's press (thanks, Jim) to remove the kingpins from the front axle....
