Long overdue response to a request for pics of the Duolite window glass, which I believe to be original to the truck:
I haven't lost the ball on the truck restoration...just got caught up with other priorities. Have recently spent a boodle on parts, and hope to have something substantive to show in the next month or so...

Well, the cab is finally off the frame, as of about a month ago. Got some repair work to have done on the frame, then off to sandblasting.

Finally sandblasted the bellhousing last weekend. In the process, was interested to discover what appears to be a date in the casting, 1-7-41. I don't yet have my buildcard (title not yet squared away), so was surprised to see such an early date. Perhaps I shouldn't have been, given the square gauges, but still...
Sure hope I can make Tower, but am afraid the WC will still be a project at that stage.

Just connecting this thread with the one above about 1/2 tons in the ETO.
As for truck work, it's been slow between moving and work. I've come up with some significant parts recently, but no major updates to report

Wish I had one to offer. The machinist wouldn't guarantee any repairs on the block which was in the truck when I bought it - crack was about 1/2" below the engine deck. Junked it 2 years ago.

After years away from the truck, I've moved it to be with me. Still in lots of pieces, but I've started to slowly work on little parts. I need to inventory what I have, what I think I have, and what's where.
Current plan is to paint the rims, so that I can assemble the wheels. They're space hogs.
It's good to be back into WC mode!!
