    I put my help to work today,, it’s handy working inside a cab at 4ft tall! Got Some NOS Parts , A steering wheel, never been installed, a Speedo still in Cosmoline , with 1/2 mile on it and a NOS oil psi and temperature gauge,, I’m still looking for a Fuel and Amp gauge in decent shape, my numbers and letters have fallen off .

    Got a few hours more today, mat is in and put retainers in all the original holes ( hopefully I won’t have to drill any holes for any thing, already has twice as many as it needs) Got my fuse box mounted , I’m getting close to installing dash. And start wiring.

    I’m not a expert on the C , I talked to some guys at the show in Macungie back in 2000 that built them, they told me about using existing parts, having some made , I think they hand made the hood. Hopefully someone will know a lot more about them . Not sure how many was made or how many are still around, Hennis bought a few, Dad drove this when new . I got a little time this morning to put the Firewall mat in the LJ, got to get me some more retainers and tuck it up tight. And YES, walk in my shop and take your pick of what to work on!

    Got my Firewall Mat today, hopefully I’ll get a chance in the next couple of days to install it so I can start wiring. Had to take a Detour from the LJ ,, The C Model needs a Water Pump,, There’s NEVER a Day goes by around here that You don’t have Anything to do !

    That looks great! The LJ is setting with water in it , I’ve started it a few times but haven’t got it hot with pressure,,, It has the original core , so we will see how that turns out. Hopefully your on your way to the next phase now!

    Keeping Fingers Crossed,, we all know how aggravating something like that can be!

    The Lizard Skin sprayed all inside and under,, then DynaMat the firewall good is definitely the way to go as Matt did his B73 . I put DynaMat on my Freedom Superliner,, it helped but still louder than I like.

    Saturday will be 2 years since I stopped taking it apart and started with some progress in the right direction, My helper has watched, Handed me and ask questions about every piece!

    O yea, Hopefully he will enjoy helping me putting the LJ together,and can remember years down the road. He has asked me 1000 questions about it. He should know a LJ from one end to the other. A couple of his baseball teammates came by and he was showing them everything about it,,, They had NO clue what he was talking about, lol
  15. 1961H67
    Helper did great,, he held it so I could mark each piece before I pulled the paper off the adhesive.

    Finally got a couple of hours this morning to cut and fit the inside firewall with DynaMat, went to a hardware store and got some Stainless plugs and put in about 4 of those big holes 1 1/4 , 1 3/4 . No wonder I never tried putting a radio in it when I was a teenager,, It was so loud I couldn’t have heard it. Hopefully next week I can put the Firewall Mat in and start wiring.

    O YES! NOW that’s a SUPER of SUPERLINERs ! I Love it!
  18. 1961H67
    Lol, to be honest I have never compared it to the others, it’s a Superliner 1 , all the others are 2s . I’ll look tomorrow.

    It’s a strong running truck, we are just to the point we don’t have time to keep everything clean and running.

    My parts LJ has that kind of PS system, I might swap it later. It will work fine on your truck. My H Model was a bear too steer after I stretched it and put the rollback on it . I had a couple of newer parts trucks with TRW boxes, I had to make a mounting plate, make a Pittman arm , mount a hydraulic pump , It works great, but a lot of fabrication .

    Thank You,, The Gray one is a Freedom with a E7 ,, The Red one we use for heavy haul is a E9 , Yellow is a E9 it’s finished now,, we just play with it , The White one also a E9 , We traded it for a B Model dump truck. Thanks for sharing your story. Very interesting!
