In the mid-80s, I purchased my WC-63 where I saw it parked in front of a business near Hesperia, CA. I'm in the process of getting it back on the road, but I'm a bit confounded by the color beneath the peeling gray paint. It appears to have been yellow. The yellow paint is evident...
Well, that looks hard to miss, and it's a great looking rig. We arrived Thursday afternoon, and were there all day Friday and most of Saturday. It was a good show, and my buddy and I came home with a lot of parts. We asked several people if they knew anyone who brought 7 900-16s, but we came up...

I'm aware that the breakers are supposed to be mounted on the cowl vent bracket, and I'm certain that the truck had...
I also recently dealt with the rebuilding of corroded light bodies and encountered similar problems.
Here's a technique you might try in addition to the penetrating oil soak: Before trying to loosen the screw or other fastener, try to tighten it a bit. It doesn't have to turn; it just has to...
