I went by the shop yesterday and tried some things with the Land
Cruiser. I put the rear end on jack stands, cranked it up in 3rd gear
and ran it up to about 50 MPH. Then I mashed the clutch and pulled out
the parking brake. It choked down 3 or 4 times and then the clutch

The heater control valve on my '55 is not working properly. I can feel
the heat from the radiator under the passenger seat even when the valve
is suppose to be closed. I can get it rebuilt by SI and I guess I will
have to do that. My question, the thermostat thingy that sticks out ...

In this month's SDC magazine they talk about the 1917 cars.  Also in
the article they mention that the engines did not have a removable head
and that the Fords did.  So my question is:  How do u do that?  How did
they make an engine where the block and head are one?  And curiously.

Any one interested in a couple of larks and a pickup badly in need of
rescue from the barn yard?

Well, looks as though Jimmy Carter found him a '48 Land Cruiser. It was
in Brunswick at a import garage where me and my grandad spotted it a
few months ago at a chapter meeting. We stopped in and found out the
owners name and looked over the car. Anyways, to make a long story

Somewhere not too long ago I had heard that some V8 engines with Carter

such a radiator? Who replaces honeycomb cores with orig type cores? The car
