1952 General Fire Truck
Mike "Hubbie" Stearns replied to haloneal's topic in Chevrolet & GMC - General
Diamond T for sure. Chevy and GMC didn’t use Waukesha engines. Mike -

It was in the petrified forest in northern Arizona where there’s an old pachard that was abandoned on Route 66. Mike

I think it’s a diamond t chassis. As far as vin location, several places to look. On frame above rear spring mount front frame rails just behind the bumper on cowl door posts post pics of engine may help ID the chassis maker. Mike -

A 1932 Oldsmobile DCR in Belgium
Mike "Hubbie" Stearns replied to chistech's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I wish they did that in the US. I can’t go a day without someone driving and on the phone in some form or another. Mike -
Been working on my wife’s tractor engine rebuild. Also my fire truck has sat dormant since last November. I didn’t think it would even turn over, but it did. I turned the gas on and hit the key. It started right up so I left it running and brought it up to temp. It ran great! I’ll need to do a couple of maintenance items later on this spring and it will be ready for the year. Mike

1927 Buick 27-27

I would assemble first then paint. You don’t have to worry about scratching the new paint and you don’t have to touch up any bolts and nuts. Mike -

Studebaker Light Six Engine Rebuild
Mike "Hubbie" Stearns replied to Stude Light's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I use a gasket maker from Napa. It’s a soft set and works great. The antiseize is just a coating. And yes, it won’t stop the water, but will stop the electrolytes between the two dissimilar metals. Mike -
I would stitch it over just about anything. Mike

Studebaker Light Six Engine Rebuild
Mike "Hubbie" Stearns replied to Stude Light's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
After thinking about it, I have a couple of suggestions. First is when you reinstall the studs, I would use a thread sealer at the block. And second I would coat the studs with antiseize. It will keep the corrosion from happening. Mike -

step by step procedures to restoration
Mike "Hubbie" Stearns replied to elepaqxo's topic in General Discussion
I’m not a tang man, but in general, it’s basically disassemble, fix, reassemble. If it were me, I would start with bodywork and panel fitment. Mechanics and then interior. Mike -
