'55 R-122 rehab

Thank you Nikki.

I managed to get the pulleys parted and welded the two I wanted back together. I made a .3680” spacer from a chunk of 1/2”x4” AL flat bar.

Verified pulley alignment

WP pulley parts

I’ll get after the PS pump bracket next time.

P/S pump mounts completed.

Now to fit the hydroboost and master cylinder.

Lookin good Jake

Thank you Kevin. I’m looking forward
To getting back behind the wheel of this truck soon. It’s been too long

Nice work!

Thank you Dean

Hydro booster/M/C brackets are almost done.

I made an extra bracket to attach to the studs that hold
The M/C to the booster. That brackets drops down and bolts to the frame
Rail to ensure there’s no flexing of the primary bracket at the tail end of booster (1/4” thick 3-1/2”x3-1/2” angle iron). The extra bracket is 16ga steel right now. I think I want to remake it in 10ga or so. I don’t think it’s really necessary, but considering it is the braking system I feel extra effort is not wasted.

The new M/C is plumbed to the existing braking circuits. I am left to finish the connection between the pushrod and the pedal, fit a boot to the booster where the rod attaches, and make the adapters to turn the M/C reservoir into a “remote” unit. Then plumb the Booster to the Pump and Steering box. Maybe early next year…

I like your work. I made mounts for a Bendix booster and modified the OEM pedals mount. The booster is less than a foot from the Saginaw power steering pump in our Cummins 4bta. This is in a 1952 L110 4X4.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for your work and your wisdom Nikki.

It runs! Still some work yet to do, but making great strides.

Fan shroud made, dual 10” Spal fans and blow through flaps.

The wedge installed on the rad frame. Works great!

A two piece 9degree wedge to tip the radiator back towards the engine.
