Re: 1961 GMC 4000 Rescue and repair
Ok members.
I have been off-line for some time now with work as well as dealing with an injury. Also, I bought a new place in the northwest and I'm in the process of moving. I still have the truck and most certainly will finish my project. Sometimes, life gets in the way. Thanks for all the email comments and advice I have received. More to follow after the move is complete. S/F, Crosshairs6

Re: 1961 GMC 4000 Rescue and repair
Back online and working on the 1961 GMC 4000. Pulled the carburetor off to rebuild. The carburetor kit from NAPA did not come with enough gaskets so I am waiting on more gaskets to come in the mail.

Re: 1961 GMC 4000 Rescue and repair
Started taking off the old wood from the flatbed. I've never seen 2X6 tongue and groove till yesterday removing the bed. There was about 30 pounds of caulk removed as well.

Re: 1961 GMC 4000 Rescue and repair
Pulled out center floor-pan today. Great access to linkage and emergency brake. Removed a lot of gunk and emergency brake works great now. I'm thinking I need a new master cylinder but I am having problems locating the specific model with the brake line coming off the front of the master cylinder. There is a lot of surface rust but the truck is solid.

Re: 1961 GMC 4000 Rescue and repair
The carburetor gaskets did not come in the mail today. I focused on removing the Fontaine bed.

Re: 1961 GMC 4000 Rescue and repair
Cross-members on the Fontaine bed are cracked in too many places to count. I will have to cut it all out and weld in new C-channel.

Re: 1961 GMC 4000 Rescue and repair
I didn't realize how much the drive shaft is offset until I removed the truck bed.
