I don't remember anything super specific about assembling the odometer. I took pictures as I disassembled them (I don't have the pictures anymore). I do remember I assembled the numbers half a digit height off (the numbers were lined up, but not aligned with the slot in the speedometer face). I got to take the thing apart again and move all the wheels half a digit down. I think I started with the tenths wheel and stacked the other parts on it, then put the whole assembly into the speedometer. I could be wrong, it has been about a decade.

got the cab painted! still need to rebuilt steering box,got the right bushing second time.then install axle backing plate,pack bearings with grease and bring it home. i thought i would have time for windows ,maybe this summer maybe!!! or next winter in worse case. since i got no windows i will store truck in my home garage,my doors only 7 feet probably will have to park it with no front wheels.
