Can't seem to find this in my shop manual. How does one adjust the horn on his truck? Mine quit blowing. It is the original Delco 6 volt horn on my 1951...
2.810 in parts manual, but no picture. I have a 1940's motor in my truck; the horns should be the same. There is a screw on the back that allows you to take...

Best wishes to you, Dan. I know it wasn't easy deciding to sell a vehicle you've put so much work into. Hope you'll drop in on the list from time to time to...
Jonas, Your troubles would be over if you just would trade the TF for an AD. Simple as that. Durwood 51 Chevy 1/2 ton Deluxe 5 window 52 Burb 54 Jimmy 1/2 ton...
I agree with Nate that the ear is a good judge when the balancer hits home. When it bottoms, you'll hear it and feel it in the hammer. The balancer must bottom...
I've kept an eye on these engine kits ever since they have become so popular and so far I've been suprised that the quality has remained good. All of the kits...
Actually ; If you take the time & trouble to use the hot wrench and seperate them then check and have the sealing surfaces planed as necessary , then...

Zort: I have the same radiator in mine from Chevy Duty. It was not an "exact fit". Not too much trouble fitting it up to the support, but it did hit my fan...
... I tried to contact you directly but was blocked. I know where there is a NOS 1953 Harrison radiator that will sell for a very resonable price plus...
Sorry Zort: Just noticed that 78-213 is for a TF model. I have a 78-211 for an AD. It may be possible that you got a 211 in lieu of a 213 which could...
