[UNEASYRIDER]

Chillin with the shop dog.

Cute.

Writing this at 02:30. I drove mine to work tonight so when I see it waiting for me in the morning it'll make me smile after doing six 12 hour night shifts in a row and now can enjoy her the next few days.

Made some covers for the side of my seat. Think I'll do a bead roll around the outside of the holes.

Started the cowl gutter. Was going to shave it but decided against it . More pics to follow on the gutter channel. I made a die from wood and made the hump area so far the rest is just bending and using the metal stretcher and shrinker.

Got home late after a trip to power plant in east AR so all I did was unbox my new front springs and remove the upper passenger side A arm. Got the cross shaft ends loose on the bottom A arm so I can now take the U bolts off and drop the arm. It was hot, I was tired, and called it a day.

My new cross shafts should be here today. Ordered those and the new springs from RockAuto. New parts on the work bench motivates me. Even though these are weeks, possibly months from installation.

You probably already know this, but I would opt for the 9/16" lower cross shaft u bolts while you already have it apart, unless you have already done this mod.

Yep, on my list to do upon reassembly. Thanks for the information as I was going to go look for it.

Welded up the gutter. While I was cutting out the rot I used the borescope to look inside the cowl actually real clean . The prior owner had put screening on the cowl cover so there was nothing in there . But they never cleaned the gutter . Was packed with dirt and pine needles when I got it.

Spent the day cutting fitting and welding couple of spots look bad but they are solid just rusty. A little more grinding and sanding ,a little filler and some seam sealer and I'm calling it done

Cleaned up and ready to cruise to a show about an hour and a half away with 3 or 4 other trucks.. first good trip of 2020 for me

[67C10Step]

New cab bushings installed. Nothing torqued to spec yet because I have it up on jack stands with the entire front end out. Want to wait until I get it back on the ground to line it all up.

Wire wheeling, blasting, and painting A frames and stuff waiting on my disc brake kit with drop spindles to arrive.

Started to work on removing corrosion and cleaning up the original wheels. In case I actually decide to use them. I finished getting all 5 and the friction rings cleaned up and in primer. Waiting on flaps to arrive from Coker. Then I have to decide if I actually want to use them.

Installed my tires, wheels and caps on the 67 4x4

Thanks Russ

I am very jealous of this! I wish I could just get the tires mounted on mine. No one wants to touch the friction ring wheels. I am calling another company today that deals with tractor trailers. They said the old timer that does them was on vacation last rime I called.

Going through an engine my son and i pulled last weekend strong runner was rebuilt a year or two before the truck it was in was wrecked got it on a stand cleaning getting it ready for fresh paint and gaskets

[OregonNed]

Clean up after the only car show I will attend this year (due to Covid) Took a pic before garaging it again.

[Greasey Harley]

Nice! One of my current "wants" are slotted wheels like you have. They look great!

[SRU1436]

Changed the accelerator pump, spring and air horn gasket on the Quadra jet. It eliminated the slight bog in the beginning of the throttle.

I siphoned about 15 gallons of old gas out of my tank. For reasons out of my control the fuel will be 2 years old by the time I get it running again this fall. Pulled the sending unit and it looks like it is fairly new. Also pulled a stick out of the tank....must have been kids.

The stick could have been used to check gas level if the gauge quit working.

I used to use a yardstick for my gauge....

[Boog]

A lot of us have.

Before I put the sending unit back in I pulled out a valve stem cap....would love to know the story on how it got there.

Might be a story like how one of my little sisters at about the age of 5 thought it would be nice to play "gas station", and put the garden hose into the gas tank of my dad's truck and fill it up! Not to mention the rocks and dirt.
