That"s a beautiful truck.I bought one many years ago,47 p/up.Far worse shape than that.Did alot of work to it but was in over my head.Didn"t even have a garage,don"t know what I was thinking.So simple to work on!
Make sure to oil all oil cups and make sure fan hub oil is topped off there is a set screw on fan hub housing rotation to 12 o'clock position Remove screw its about 1 .5 inches long once removed put about 1.5 ounces of oil in 30 or 40 weight thru that screw hole then rotation hub to 6 o'clock Position drain excess oil out if none drains rotation back to 12 position add additional oil. Make sure to snug screw once back in hub check once a month keep checked failure to do this will put that fan assembly thru radiator .. add oil to oil cups on distributor generator same weight as hub oil Also marvel mystery oil added to fuel benefit rings and valves .... also add water pump lubricant to coolant this helps both thermostats and water pumps Seals .. if water pumps ever need replacement at lower hose going to radiator inside lower hose opening is one bolt that needs to come out to replace Pump .... now for engine temperature I use 2 mechanical water temperature gauges for each head ... exhaust used reds headers .. oil filter Cartridge napa carries them delo 30 for engine oil .... just helpful tips for you I own 11 flathead powered vehicles .. I'm currently restoration on 50 Mercury flatmotor no LS bullshit in my old iron ... great video thanks for posting
Thanks for the tips I'll use them I just got a 1946 mercury eight coupe I found out about the oil inthe fan the hard way it loced up on me I repaired it thanks

Also marvel mystery oil added to fuel benefit rings and valves .... also add water pump lubricant to coolant this helps both thermostats and water pumps
Seals .. if water pumps ever need replacement at lower hose going to radiator inside lower hose opening is one bolt that needs to come out to replace
Pump .... now for engine temperature I use 2 mechanical water temperature gauges for each head ... exhaust used reds headers .. oil filter
Cartridge napa carries them delo 30 for engine oil .... just helpful tips for you I own 11 flathead powered vehicles .. I'm currently restoration on 50
