Restoration of my 1929 AC


Recommended Posts

It was originally delivered to Allegheny County, Pa as a municipal dump truck. I don't really know anything beyond that except that it ended up with a gentleman who owned Shell gas stations in Wisconsin. He did a rough restoration on it. I bought it at auction 7 years ago. The truck will once again be a dump truck.

The AC will look good in service with the RD for spring 2018!

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Looks great!

And really nice to see the progress.

I like the idea of body rebuild. But making such reproduction parts I noted they might look too fresh sometimes. So I practiced making new sheet metal parts that sand blasting them and keep outside for a year or more. Than blast again, paint and assemble. This way steel gets traces of rust removed and looks ancient. But good of its shape and rust-free.

Thank you for sharing so many stages. I don't remember seeing AC resto in progress.
