  1. The new top casting for the gearstick selector has just come back from the foundry , they used the broken original as a patern after tidying it up, small progress but just trying to have all the jigsaw pieces ready before starting on the trucks restoration.
  2. Finally got my parts for the xa truck, the gearstick topcasting needs some repairs but at least its the correct one just wanted to update you all mike
  3. Tim i dont have to tell you but maybe some detective work would bring forward information on the original engine? perhaps and what became of it? thanks for sharing the pictures mike
  4. Looking for a set of early white truck clutch and brake pedals and the shaft set up, for a 1915 3/4 ton white, white trucks of any size in that period from early teens up to around 1925 had the same pedals and set up, needs to be L/hand drive any help appreciated thanks mike
  5. Looking for clutch and brake pedals and the shaft they are set up on for a 1915 3/4 ton white truck, pedals are the same on 11/2 ton 2 ton and 3 ton models from early teens up to around 1925, any help appreciated thanks mike
  6. Hi AL yeh got a few things happening, hoping to get permission to dig up an early autocar truck that was buried on a farm about 10 odd yrs ago dont know why someone would bury a truck that old but who knows? could be worth the effort ? apart from that still working on finding a few bits and pieces for my Libertys mike
  7. Looking for an early packard truck engine used from around 1910 to about 1914 these engines were 2 jugs cast in pairs, monobloc type with the valve springs exposed on one side, used in the chaindrive packard trucks of around 2 to 3 ton in size, if anyone knows of something let me know please rhanks mike
  8. Hi Al those brackets are for chains to hook onto, my pierce arrow rear wheels have cast brkts and so does the Libertys steel and wooden ones mike
  9. Finally got the white clutch and brakes relined and should have them back by the end of the week, for those that asked the clutch material is a woven liner part nos 3812 and made by frodo the clutch material was bonded on and put in an industrial oven to cure Hope this is of interest. mike

    30’s Reo

    A bit more progress, ive hot riveted the two best centers into the donor rims i was given, also i have now found 2 original wheels that are on a farm trailer about a 2 hr drive from here, the guy want’s some good 20” x6” rims as a swap which i can do as ive got some old ford rims off a heavy truck that will make good trailer wheels, still lots to do but soon ill be able to move the truck, also done some small sheetmetal repairs to the hood sidepanels, and removed the crushed rear crossmember, hope this is of interest? mike

    30’s Reo

    Hi all just an update, i have managed to free up the engine, ive decided if i cant find wheels ill make them, the 2 front ones were in pretty good shape so they have been blasted painted and tyres fitted the 4 rears ive removed the centres and a good mate has given me some better 20” rims which im going to put my centres in, spent most of yesterday striping tyres and knocking out rivets, theres a few thin areas ill need to weld in some new steel but i should end up with a usable set of 4 rear rims, well thats the plan and then i can bring the truck home and get it under cover before winter sets in cheers mike
  12. Ed that white estate truck looks like it has a similar wheelbase as mine 9ft 6” and how the back end finishing just behind the rear wheels and end of the chassis looks to me like its early teens? did the owner say what year it was? Just to let the others know the thread on the clutch plate is 12 tpi mike
  13. Thought id try to get one of the other clutches apart, (a worse looking one!) and low and behold this time success the thread looks a bit more on the fine side, you can see on the back of the the plate where the waters accumulated but luckily on this one the threaded areas stayed slightly oily still had to use a bit of heat, now things are moving forward again, these white clutches are very well made and for a 30 h/p engine seem a little over engineered - in my opinion mike
  14. Thats a very good looking white and if im right it looks like the doors slide, ive seen some doors that are like pocket type too on a pierce arrow and an early mack from memory, a cool idea i reckon, thanks for the picture mike
