well just finish another weekend ,though i would get it ready to store for summer. i had forgot that the wheel bearings from my part frame had one so so bearing. one of them had a nick on a cup,the others were really nice. so i installed the steering box and springs ,backing plates. i wasn,t going to attack the weather stripping. since i had spare time and was afraid doors would open by themself, while i move truck. i dicided to try and install diverside window and regulator weatherstripping. i will order the missing bearing monday,hope its available quit fast or i will install bad one temporarily.

used GB trick for the fine tuning after using a rimmer.


here were i,m at.

Wow, you are moving right along! Did you have to tweak the cab mounts to get good alignment on the doors?

been putting a few hours here and there. got my helper side window and door latch back together. ended sending my odometer to bill wells,nice guy to do busness with. i ended up wearing off the painted numbers,and could not get it timed right. i got the speedometer all back together now,only the trim left to paint. i,m going to place and order for a few odds end . and i don,t find anything for my dash door spring! my dash door was always open so i guess something missing. maybe a picture or part number ,so i can figure out what i need.

There is just one spring that goes in the middle. The Mac's site shows 2 numbers for the same spring. Look at the alternate number...you will see they are the same.
