Just leave the box the way it is. Having seen pictures of Bill's "wife" on here, no one will be surprised to hear about his "Big Red Mistress"!

 

...........I like Bill but it is still no.

Weather has not been good enough to work on tool box. So i decided install the new shocks and replace the rear brakes.

The first thing I found was a flat inside right rear tire a sheet rock screw in my almost new BFG THIS SUCKS.



New front Rancho shocks Installed.



Drums off and new rear rancho shocks installed.





New Motorcraft brake Shoes and hardware.





New Motorcraft drums painted and ready for installation.





I am off all next week hope to finish this up then, I will post up more pictures as I go.

 

You have been busy Kevin! My 8K 'new' tires seem to be wearing the out side rear tires weird. I'm going to take them in and have them checked but was wondering if there is a possibility of not getting them mounted correctly. Maybe some dirt inbetween the two rims or something? I'm new to dually's so was curious if I screwed up. LOL

 

Glenn I have been driving a dually since 1991 and I never had a problem with the back tires wearing funny the front on the other hand is a different story this dana 60 likes eating front tires. I have put 2k on the BFG's and they seem to be wearing very good. I would take them back to were you bought them and see what they say.

 

I plan on it, thanks.

 

When it's time to do shocks on my truck I think I'm gonna try Ranchos.

 

Got a little more done yesterday, I would have got it all done but some dummy ordered the wrong parts. (I ordered two right side wheel cylinders)I order the right part last night 2 to 6 days before it gets here so now I have to wait. Got everything cleaned and painted.













Looks a lot better than before it did before I started hope they work good.

 

Nice work Kevin.

 

It's all looking real good Kevin! I pulled the drums on my dually axle I bought last weekend and was pleasantly surprised to find almost new brakes and hardware, and the drums are perfect, probably had just been turned when the brakes were done. Didn't expect that for the 300 bucks I paid.

 

You got lucky Darin!

If you are at all thinking about the 38 gallon rear tank, do it when you change beds. I'm just finishing up mine and what a PITA! I could have done it three times as fast. I still have to mount my spare and try it out. My nephew found me a deep tank sending unit, I hope it works out OK, don't want to take it out again for sure.

 

Thanks Guys,You got a good deal I have more than that in this brake job, but I did replace every moving with motorcraft parts including new drums.

 

I've for sure thought about it Glenn. However unless my tank looks suspect when I remove the bed, it's going to stay. I'm again getting to the point I need to quit spending on the truck for the winter.

 

That looks good Kevin! I love it when things are all cleaned up and painted like that. Unfortunately, up here they don't stay that way with all the salt they put on the roads here.
