OT'S 47-51 ??? Rebuild ??

<< < (33/42) > >>

the old trucker:

   Thanks for the info & the pic Gror. I am pretty sure I am going to have to move the engine back for clearance for the rad. I don't think it will be much trouble to do that. There are 4 bolts for the motor mounts, plus 2 for the bracket that holds the shifter cable in place & the 2 on the trans.
   In the pic below you'll see the mount that holds the trans in place. It is a piece of 2" channel. I'm thinking of welding a piece of 5/16" plate on top where the mount would sit. It would be 7" wide by 7-8" long(toward the front of the machine) I will drill 2 new holes for the bracket. I think that should hold everything in place. Almost forgot, I'll have to cut out a section of exhaust between the flex & the resonator to keep everything lined up with the outlet on the side.

marcdds:
the rads on a wood body is different than a steel one the top tank is hand made like on a b7 on a steel one its factory made . the rad core is also different on the wood one it looks like the core of older ford the steel one is more like today style. the rad you are putting in looks like it came from a steel body hope this can help you

the old trucker:
  Thanks marcdds. It is from a steel body machine... One of these that we picked up & dragged home yesterday.

   We ended up getting double of everything.
  
 Here's 2 shots of an abandoned one just 200 ft. from the other two. We got a diff from this donor.

the old trucker:
  Marcdds I have a rad from an old Dodge power wagon ( on the right in the first pic) that looks 2-3" lower than the bomber one. It will fit, all I have to do is cut off the mounting tabs & tack on new flat pieces as the core in this one is close to 22 1/2" wide. I will try that one out before moving the motor. The rad on the right in the second pic is the third one that I got with those 2 bombers yesterday.

Anybody got suggestions ??
