flatcat19 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Dude lose that canby15 front plate. I would set that on fire. Or just hang it upside down. Probably a better representation of what this truck had been through. 3 Quote Link to comment

DanielC Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I supplied the tail lights for the Canby truck. The tail lights were tested on my bench, and worked. I also plugged then into a spare body, or bed wiring harness for the back of a 521, and made sure the tail lights worked by applying power to the six pin connector, that is by the starter on a 521, that connects the bed or body wiring harness to the engine room wiring harness. I took the tail lights, and wiring harness, and other parts to Eugene, but could only spend a day there, and did not install the wiring harness, or the tail lights on the truck. I believe the bed wiring harness was not changed to the one I tested with the tail lights, but I am not sure. It is very common for 521 tail lights to lose grounds. The lamp sockets are mounted on plastic, and the sockets are only grounded to the tail light frame. The tail light frame should ground to the bed sheet metal, and the bed sheet metal should ground to the truck's frame. But often those grounds go away after 45 years. Run a wire directly from the tail light frame to the frame of the truck, and also make sure the trucks frame is grounded to the engine. 1 Quote Link to comment

Rick-rat Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 The unmolested harness was not put on the truck, I do know where it went 1 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 About the lugs.....it would have ended up with metric up front and imperial in the rear with my disc setup up front.....but you took that off and went back to kingpin. Do you have a pic of the drum hub you used? If you put a 620 drum hub on there, it uses metric lugs. You weren't real clear in your post as to which were wrong....fronts, rears....all? If it's the rears that are metric now, then maybe they were changed to match the 720 hubs that were on the front. Anyway.....it may have been completely intentional and not an F'up, but either way, they metric lugs are from a later truck, not a 510......although they may have used the same studs.....no clue. :) The metrics studs are bigger......I'm not sure you can go back to the 7/16".......will be interesting to see. :) Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 The unmolested harness was not put on the truck, I do know where it went hmmm.....that seems to have happened with a handful of nice stuff I sent down. If he didn't use it, it would have been nice to get it back. Oh well......never again! 1 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Um...Al sold me a 521 engine harness that seemed to be in really good shape about a month or so prior to Canby. Is this the harness you speak of Rick? 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm sure the money was donated to the build. 2 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Sure it was. I just hope unsuspecting participants got to drink a few beers off that money. 2 Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I know at least one of the parts i donated didn't get put on the truck. 2 Quote Link to comment
