1952 Willys Overland 4x4 Truck - Part 5, The Mechanical Inspection Continues

[@dirtbag7921]

Mustie uses a mix of kerosene and bar and chain oil to coat the underside for rust protection. Then drives on a dirt road so the dust sticks to the oil.

Interesting. Thanks.

Love that old Willy’s truck! Great job! You have lots of patience!

Late to the show, but all caught-up on the Willys project. I echo many other comments: Like your approach, comments, illustrations, pace, and video work (e.g., the shock test. Now THAT's a live axle!). And the '52 is a fantastic specimen for restoration. Looking out for episode 6...

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Welcome! And, thanks for the kind words. Part 6 coming soon.

There’s a reason for the left hand thread. If things weren’t difficult enough, you can break a stud or better have some yahoo damage a rim with a grinder cutting the nuts off.

The work is going very well!!!!, I have fully enjoyed all the work you are carrying out. Greetings !!!

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thank you very much!

Wwii jeeps had a washer between the bushing and cotter pin. These probably had a similar design.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thanks.

The Spicer 18 t-case will always leak. No need to pull the drain plug. Just put more in on top. You may want to find a taper roller bearing up grade for the center shaft. Makes it much quieter at speed. And they dont wear out as fast as the stock needle bearings.

Vintage Jeeper does that kit

[@jeepdoctv]

I believe that there is supposed to be a washer behind the cotterpin on the shocks.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Yes, I will do that. Thank you.

[@Jason1Pa]

Thanks for the update!! It's coming along!

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Fun project!

[@richardowens9170]

Making good progress! Crazy that someone punched out the shock bushings to "make them fit."

[@Country-Marshal]

The shocks were scary... much better now. Keep up the good work. I'm rootin fer ya.

[@harveyhaase2030]

Sure is a nice old truck. Do you have any Model T videos in the works?

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Yes, I’ll have some more T videos this Winter.❄️

. * * * * That is not a 3/8 bolt , it is a 1/4" bolt that takes a 3/8" wrench .

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Correct. 3/8 wrench. 🔧
