piston needed
need a 40 over piston for my 1945 CCKW . the valve spring broke and sucked it down , the head is fine and the cylinder was untouched ( lucky ) but the valve and the piston and push rod are toast . looking for the push rod too. the engine has very little ware on it , hardly no ring ridge .have some parts to trade or cash . thank you , Joe

Re: piston needed
Gunny,
We should help you diagnose the failure mode. Valves just don't break. It was caused by something.
Send us some close up pictures of the failed parts. There are ways to inspect and determine what caused the failure. You wouldn't want to put it all back together and fail another valve in another cylinder a few hundred miles down the road.
