This is a 1948 B1 PW that I've had for about nine months that we're
putting together.
The truck is completely disassembled at this time.
The frame is in good shape and has sandblasted and painted.
The cab is being repaired.(repairs are needed to the rear cab
mounts, dents in the roof and doors).
The whole truck has been sandblasted (all pieces)(some are primed).
I'm not sure what we will put on it for tires.
Wheels can be combat or split rim. I'm leaning towards split.
I'm working on the 230cui for it to get it running (cylinders are
clean, some valves were stuck)
It will have all new brake lines, turned drums new or rebuilt wheel
cylinders and master cylinder.
New glass
We've started getting the winch ready for installation.
I'm putting a Holmes 460 wrecker assy. on and fabricating a body
similar to what's seen in most of the old ads.
If you've seen the wrecker I had at the Iowa rally last year, this will
be identical.. See pic below
The price listed is for the truck in it's present condition. It will
change as I progress
The present price does include the wrecker assy, wrecker body and all
the parts I've mentioned and repairs to the sheetmetal.
I haven't decided on the color yet
I have three trucks in the shop that we're building at the same time
this truck, theB1 wrecker and the K6W
UPDATE
We're just about finished with the brake work . All new wheel
cylinders, new rubber and solid lines. The solid lines are
the kind that won't rust. I turned the drums and replaced all the
seals. All the wheel bearings have been cleaned and packed.
We're ready to start putting the accessories on the engine.
