Didn’t do much to my 59, too cold at. 14 degrees. Purchased some tires for it.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Well, I am about to go crazy spending money! I just sold another of my old goodies and will be getting my axle dropped.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I got out and did an official 5 minutes in on my truck. I am getting stuff ready to be powder coated and tied these parts together in groups. I drilled a rivet out of the front bumper brackets so they could be properly powder coated.
I also got a few more things that I know will not be used ready to sell. a couple of days ago I ordered up my primer from SPI and bought a few parts I needed on ebay. I also measured and weighed the front axle and all the components I will be sending to SIDS for dropping and mods. Going to have them do the whole thing, install the spindles and all, modify all the steering components and buy the new drag link and tie rod from them. That way it's all ready to go, done deal.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Been working on hydroboost brake set up. Took out vac booster and converted over. Down to hoses and figuring out remote reservoir.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
The truck project is on the shelf 'til the weather gets a little better. I just finished building 30 more "throttle boards" for "EnterTRAINment Junction", where I volunteer. (Google it to view the largest indoor train display in the world.) We're just about done replacing all of the old microcontroller-based controllers with PLC controllers - for 85 trains that run at the same time.
Then I got wrapped up in building a $69 guitar kit, which should take less than 4 hours if I don't get carried away. At least it'll (probably) be the same color as the truck. I'm painting it like a car, of course...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Thanks, I am getting a pretty good hold on things now, just need to take my hoses off my pump and see what thread I have. I think I would just use a reservoir on the master cylinder if I can find the right one that is level and not made to be on a slant.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I honestly believe it will be less work to install my dropped axle on the truck than it is making the friggin box to send it to SIDS. I am not kidding, I have put about 4 hours into this!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
brian - why don't you just by the axle out right from sid's? I found the cost for shipping the axle was more than the core cost. plus you have a stock axle as a spare or to sell on flea bay.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Day 12 or something like that on door fiasco. Decided to put front fenders on to see if door was going to need more than what i knew about and sure enough body line wasnt quite right, panel alignment needed work ect. Off came the door. Decided to try and pull the inside damage with a stud puller. Sorry didnt get any pics as i went, welding and pulling studs worked way better than i thought it would. Door has been off and back on multiple times but i think i finally got the results i can live with

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Been doing some detailing, today at the hardware store I found a part in the plumbing aisle to dress up the base of the steering column where it passes through the carpet. Less than $1.00

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I love it Mark, looks like it was made for that!
And again, didn't "work" on the truck but I got the spindles all cleaned up and put in the box to ship out to SIDS for dropping the axle. I got a pitman arm coming that I needed along with a few other parts that my brother picked up today near his house which is 2.5 hours from me. His wife will be bringing to me tomorrow night, WHOOO HOOOO! I am selling things on eBay as I have mentioned I sold one thing that was up in my attic that paid for the rear shock mounts my brother picked up today for me. Damn it's fun to put something on there with a $25 "Buy it now" and starting bid of $10 and it ends up going to $52, LOL I love this stuff! Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Man is this wild. I have a guy with a collection of parts trucks basically a wrecking yard specializing in AD trucks that is hours away. But he is minutes away from my brothers house. My brothers wife still lives by me and goes to his house every couple weeks for the weekend. Yes it's odd, don't ask. Well I can order stuff and then she brings it to me! Got a bunch of suspension parts that I was missing delivered to my door just now!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I went to a auction and bought a Farmall model A tractor. It has a Woods Belly mower. The tractor doesn't run. But I wanted the Mower for a Super A I have. I didn't have my trailer with me. So I picked up the rear of the tractor with my 82 wrecker. tied the steering wheel and drug it home 15 miles.
