i havent posted in weeks! i have been extremely busy since getting my truck parts back from the guy who had them, who had them for three months and didn't even fix them! well there went all my warm weather. so, i've been hauling butt to get a bunch of repairs done before winter. i was able to find the pitman arm and drag link i needed. turns out the person who'd fixed the steering knuckle before had used the passenger side knuckle and flipped it over.....VERY DANGEROUS! it broke because the bolts were way to small. i got the right parts and installed them! in the last two weeks i've pulled a front axle, reassembled the steering knuckle assy. rebuilt the wheel cylinder and installed new brake shoes on the drivers side alone. then, i basically tore an entire parts truck apart. pulled and engine, swapped transfer cases, and fixed the high range on my 4wd, plus installed a new set of gauges,and outside mirrors(i've been looking for a good set forever! now the truck looksmuch more complete) headliner bar, and found a great original glovebox and soon the pasenger side wheel cylinder will get rebuilt, and a new thermostat put in the engine. then i have to do a master cylinder on my '59 plymouth! wow! i came across a very complete '58 315 polysphere and couldn't pass it up for the price. so, now i have another engine! plus some spare front axle parts busy busy, hope i dont run outta timebefore i get it all done!
