progress on the ol' ford

Rebuilt front straight axle, rebuilt front leaf springs with polyliner (but now decided to order new springs), all new brakes (lines, hoses, shoes, etc.), some rust repair, got the truck about half way rewired, and some other stuff just can't remember what all right now. Seems like a pretty good list to me.

Yeah really does its getting closer and closer to being done. After wiring and putting the new front springs in it will be ready for paint, reassembly, and final adjustments. Can't wait for it to be done after all the time, work, and money I have put into it.
