Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project

Worked on the front axle a bit this weekend. Thought I'd have to get a new carrier because of worn spiders/cross pin and was thinking a detroit, but didn't want to spend the money for it. Fortunately, we were able to salvage parts from another old carrier, get a passable pattern on the old R&P, and reuse the open carrier.
So the front is together and ready, but I'm still struggling with pulling a NV4500/205 together on the cheap...looks like I'm going to bite the bullet and have one built.
I want to pull this into a buddy's shop within the next few weeks and start the tear down.
