Thanks for the clarification. How do you get the front hub covers off? Do you pry them off or is there something special to do? Sorry for the stupid questions I just don't want to break anything.

Update: I had some free time so I started to prepare to take the back wheels and drums off. So I took the pin in the axle nut off, which broke
 , and then went to loosen the axle nut. I thought it would require the breaker bar, but to my surprise, and horror, it required no effort to loosen. So I went to the other side and discovered the axle nut was a different size! The one was 1 1/8 but this one was bigger. It also had no pin! So I'm going to get a bigger socket tomorrow and a hub puller so I will update then.

Hey everyone. After doing some research I've decided to rebuild the engine myself. I'll know the internal condition once I tear it apart, but would you guys recommend the rebuild kits from Kanter if everything needs to be replaced?If needed I would probably get the master kit, but are they worth it or should I try to salvage some original parts?
Here is what they include BASIC kit Includes: ---- Main bearing set ---- 8 Rod bearings ---- Cam bearing set ---- Oil pump kit ---- 8 pistons with pins and clips ---- Ring set ---- Freeze plug set ---- Overhaul gasket set ---- Timing chain and gear set MASTER kit Includes: ---- BASIC kit ---- plus 16 valve springs ---- DELUXE kit Includes: ---- MASTER kit plus... ---- 16 Valve guides ---- 16 Valves ---- 8 Piston pin bushings

It's the weekend, finally. I'm off tomorrow to pick up my truck from my dads house to bring here. If you were wondering, it is a 1948 Chevy 1 ton truck. Now I'll have two beauties in my garage
