Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Finished rebuilding my carb...installed. Rebuilt my headlight buckets, tried to figure out why my front end was sagging. Turned out it was the radiator support bracket mounts are completely shot. So...I ended up with this. I guess this is how one starts the "frame-off" process. Lol. Here we go folks!

That's funny. I haven't seen leaded gasoline in years.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Not all that hard... I'm looking around for a 1985 and older Mercedes 300 turbo diesel to put in the 55 to replace this 350 and go from 10 miles per gallon to about 30

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Been a while.
Did I mention that this truck is fighting me every step of the way....?? I decided that because the truck is getting so much new stuff, the $24.00 for a pair of trailing arm bushes was another thing that needed doing. Replace the 50 year old units while the truck is in bits. Getting the old ones out meant unbolting the trailing arms from the chassis, and then one needs to burn the old ones out. ![]() Thankfully I have a butane burner that I use for the branding on my woodwork stuff when I turn or build items. ![]() Once burned out, petrol cleaned the channels and made sure they were ready to receive the new bushes. ![]() New ones fitted..... Next problem, getting the trailing arms back up and threading the bolts through. ![]() I decided to kick Martin out by 8.30 as he had more people to see and more stuff to do. I will use the Jack later in the week to lift both arms up and hopefully get the bolts seated, or else I will have to unbolt the rear of the trailing arms and then refit the front, followed by the rear. ![]() Felt good to be back under the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Awesome seat for $100, fits perfectly the 2 front bolt holes line up so I just had to drill 2 for the back. Easy 20 minute install.
