Service
I have no idea where it served. I have not found any hood numbers. One person said that the VIN, was within the range for these trucks, but another person said, that the VIN was for a 1950's Dodge truck. So I'm confused. The only data plate on it, was for the bed of the truck. All of...
Also, the Admin for the page, (which is not controlled by the MVCCO despite its name) banned me from posting for 1 week. I did not use foul language or threaten anyone. I did not even get any notice or explanation for why I was banned. Apparently, someone was butthurt. So I left the page.
Last two weekends, I've taken it out on the backroads around here. Yesterday, I drove it to work to show my co-workers. I need to take and post some more pictures. Does anyone have any tips for bleeding the brakes on a WC63? I installed a new master cylinder and wheel cylinders and have bled the...
WC63 ran great doing the parade. No pictures due to the fact that I was driving. There were a bunch of MV's that arrived after me in a convoy. Unfortunately, even though I reached out to them, I was greeted with hostility because I dared to criticize their lack of communication about the event...
Got full coverage insurance on it this week from Hagerty. Still need to get it titled and registered in my name. Thanks to Les Schwab, I now have two spare tires. Still need to do some odds and ends such as engine oil and filter change, mount the rest of the tail gate brackets, and the draft...
Test drive went great yesterday. The engine worked great and the clutch worked properly, and the transmission shifted fine. The brakes worked well also.
The brakes have been bled and now function correctly. The engine is running great and I got everything greased and oiled yesterday. Next on the list is a engine oil and filter change. Then I will take it out for a test drive.
I now have six new tires on the truck. Will have two spares later this week. Should be roadworthy soon. I have acomplete gun mount for a WC that I am interested in selling. I have the ring, legs, and cradle as well as the nuts and bolts. What would be a fair price? I can send pictures if you...
Got the wheels and tires back from Les Schwab yesterday. Got them mounted on the truck now. Found out I either need to rebuild on vacuum wiper motor or buy one that is functional. I also need to rivet some parts onto the body. Unfortunately, I don't have a rivet gun. I will probably have to pay...
No new pictures, but progress is being made. Got the new carb installed and the engine running great. Removed the wheels and took them to LES SCHWAB to have the tires removed and had them send the wheels off to be x-rayed, sand blasted, and primed. I will spray paint them OD when I get them...
Serial number
Ran into a problem today with my WC63. Crawled underneath it with a wire brush and wire brushed the frame behind the drivers side front wheel. Could not find a serial number. Any suggestions?
