Re: What do you do with your sweptline today?
The plan is to roll some new bearings in it and run it.
I have seen this once before. It was on a Chevy engine with a cast crank and the thrust surface on the crank was worn also. That one went in the scrap pile.
This time the crank still looks good. Just a worn bearing.

Re: What do you do with your sweptline today?
ha fan...good one
would think you can find thicker thrust bearing as long as crank isn't worn
thinking it was out of a manual trans ..only time i ever seen thrust bearing ware

Apologize for leaving it outside for a few days so I could do some work on the skid.

Re: What do you do with your sweptline today?
Drove the Green Truck down the hill into Silicon Valley to deliver a pallet of a 69 W200 driveline components to Old Dominion Freight. Stopped at the Hospital for a pacemaker check. Got a burger for breakfast (the first I've had in a couple of years). Stopped at A&M Motor Parts. Spent a half hour at the Post Office.
The entire time I never locked it. Seeing as the truck has this special security system otherwise known as a "manual transmission."

A manual choke is almost the same deturant if the engine is cold. The battery will die before they could make it start.Wildergarten wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 4:42 pmDrove the Green Truck down the hill into Silicon Valley to deliver a pallet of a 69 W200 driveline components to Old Dominion Freight.

Re: What do you do with your sweptline today?
Unfortunately, the Edelbrock thermoquad carburetor accelerator pump bore on The Green Truck is so corroded it can't squirt, so I have to keep a can of ether in the cab or I can't start it. Of course, that presupposes that said malefactor wouldn't think the ether is for vaping ether instead of starting the truck.BigBlockTrucks wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 10:01 pmA manual choke is almost the same deturant if the engine is cold.

Checked the fuel tank sending unit and ended up replacing the brass float. I was getting inaccurate readings and thought maybe the variable resistor was bad but found the float with a crack and filled with gas. Reads correctly now. I dug out an NOS sending unit just in case but wasn't needed. That's it, no major work done.

I had my flywheel resurfaced, ordered my ring gear, bought some bolts.

The Green Truck moved four 16' cattle panels and a gate for a wild pig trap down to the house. Balanced them hanging over the cab. I'll be using the panels as reinforcing wire in concrete slabs I hope to pour this month.
