Already picked up the new shoes and hardware kits. Gotta get the wheel bearings, seals, and wheel cylinders. I wish I could make the trip out, but lack of license really gets in the way. This weekend is about the only time I could make it out.

Don't tempt me, I would love to live out in the boonies if my job/future career didn't require me to be near cities.

Also I was talking to my neighbor and he mentioned getting your drums matched to your shoes so that they lined up right. He was talking about somewhere in Portland that would turn the drums to match the shoes. Can somewhere like O'reilleys do this too?

You may need to find a brake shop to "arc" the shoes to match the drums, at the same time you have the drums turnned.

Good evening Oregon. Got most everything done. Folks off for Idaho, Montana and the Dakota's in the morning and will be gone for 3 weeks. My sister is supposedly driving them. I get to stay home and take care of the farm / ranch and animals.

Evening guys, Don, you asked about the crummie the other day, what were you thinking with it? Taking the bus body off and putting on your wrecker body and making a flat bed?
