Any farm owning Midwestern goons have some space available? All you have to do is hold it, it'll be shipped there!

What part of the Midwest?

As for the split rims, you guys are nuts. If you really want to go full-on nuts and it has 20 or 16.5" wheels (does it?), a vast supply of milsurp rubber is available that would marginally fit. Anything from 36" to 54" diameter depending on rim size. I'd really suggest finding some modern tubeless wheels though, what lug pattern does a '51 6400 use? The old big six lug pattern? 8 lug? 10 lug? The pics look like old six-lug, but I'm not sure. That's not a very common lug pattern these days, but some cube vans and small MDTs use it still, or I think they do, it might be a different lug circle diameter.

They're 10-lug, but the front only uses 5. According to the Internet, the tires should be 9.00-20. 7.50 or 8.25x20, as noted on pp. 53-54 of this pdf. E: Oops there's an RPO for 9.00-20.

Kinda surprised the truck is a hydraulic clutch or even has a pivot - figured it'd be a mechanical linkage on a pivoting shaft?

It's the pivot for the release fork?

E: You could probably find a 1/2-20 by 3/8-24 timesert.

E2: No, it's 13/16-16.

Yeah, but every ancient truck (and all the heavy duty trucks I've seen) that I've been under has had a pivoting shaft going through the bellhousing and two arms off of it that actuate the TOB rather than a pivot ball. Was just confused by that.

Like this:


Ah, I see.

What's the plan on getting the truck's bellhousing mounting pads to line up? Cut some hockey pucks into wedge mounts and figure it out 2000 miles from now? Ratchet strap it down and roll out? Custom trans crossmember?
