BillyT Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 If you store an old vehicle " out back" try throwing a handful of mothballs on the floor and under the seats,rats will leave it alone! Had wood rats building nests on the engine of two cars I was storing,propped the hood open with a 12" stick,they won't build a nest then,are afraid of predators!

Popular Post Yoos Brothers Construction Posted October 27, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2016 Progress Report! I got the frame sandblasted and painted, and I recovered the dash panels. I'm currently working on the 18000lbs front axle that I bought off of Doug Fetterly a few weeks ago. It came out of a Cruiseliner. Also I'm getting the rears ready for paint. Anyway here's some pics of the progress. Thanks, Josh 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I like the dash work with the wood grain finish. We use to do that back in the later 60's to dashes, brings back memories. Keep up the good work, going to look like a new baby soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to brockwaytrucks.org and search topic about restoring a 361 Brockway. Tom Millard has a very detailed page about finding the material and installing it on his fathers 361.

Timmyb Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I gotta recover my wood grain panels at some stage, but i gotta fill in a fair few holes first. My question is, does the vinyl stick to body filler or primer or is bare metal best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have fixed a few I just welded in some patches and used some some Liquid Steel Epoxy than sanded smooth after that the I put two layers of the vinyl on the panel as the stuff I bought I didn't think the mil thickness was enough and was afraid that eventually it may transfer the repair. After three years still looks good. The first layer just covers the panel the second wraps about 1/4 inch around the edges. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Popular Post Yoos Brothers Construction Posted November 21, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2016 Well here's some progress. I got the rears sand blasted, painted, and in the truck. Also I got the air tanks installed, moved the tool box, and cut the hood out for the out side air cleaner. I was kind of nervus about cuting the hood out but it turned out really nice. My Brother and I got the truck moved inside the other day out of the weather. Dad and I went and got the dump body I bought for it the other day before this snow hit. It needs some work done to it but it has alot of potential. Actually it's the same year as the truck. Here's some more pics Thanks, Josh 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
