    In reference to switching the hubs / wheels to hub piloted Budds: IMHO, I am more of a purist!!! Please leave the period correct Spoke / Dayton wheels on the truck!! Unless you are a freak for a lot of BLING!! Just changing the rims and tires to tubeless 22.5 radials will not be that noticeable at shows and improve the ride and handling.. Especially since you will be operating it only as a hobby vehicle with short distances traveled per trip and no or light loads..

    Swishy I do not think we have the folding neck trailers up here in the States?? Just detachable neck trailers, But I think the lift mechanism to reattach should be able to lift the front of the trailer a few inches???

    I would say that the majority of the 1/2 & 3/4 Ute's (Called pick up trucks up here) have flatbed (tray) body on them.. When I was Down Under in 2015 this truck was at the same lookout point we were. And this is the valley we were looking down into: This is the hill we came up to get there:

    Of course he will need GPS to find his way around the track!!!

    I have seen a lot of those signs over the years.. Mostly where the RR is parallel to the main highway and the sign is for the smaller roads which turn off..

    Larry, I do NOT think he was even trying to unlatch the 5th wheel... And if it had pulling tension on it the 5th wheel would not unlatch.. I think he was trying to raise the deck.

    OD on NASCAR I agree with you.. Also making the cars look alike rather than what the company builds to "improve" Aerodynamics??

    Try contacting Tom Jr "Bub" Warren in Amarillo TX. lilyellowbus37@gmail.com 806-374-3056, 1620 South Johnson St, Amarillo TX 74102. He used to have and was able to make a lot of rubber products. I will not say for sure if he is still in business as I have not heard from him since his father passed away last summer.

    Contact Tom Millard user name Oldspwr thru here or send me an email or PM and I will send you his email address. A couple of years ago he took a flathead Continental out of his 1955 Brockway and replaced it with a 5.9 Cummins. He also has a couple of parts trucks and is active in the Brockway Preservation Assn so has contact with more possible parts places. I am thinking (????) that there are places in both Chicago ILL and Utica NY which rebuild Continental engines. Tom would know if they are still in business.
