I might take you up on the extra hand when I’m ready to install the windshield Joe. How’s your truck coming along? Arts is back together but I haven’t got a comment from him to drive it to the Ozark Mountain Run yet.

Mine is still at the shop. Just waiting for the king pins to arrive. Hopefully they will be in early this week and I can have it for the weekend.
I've missed a couple of good weekends for driving. I've got my hotel reserved and my registration for the Ozark Mountain Run. I'm looking forward to the trip.
I reserved a room for both Friday and Saturday night, but I might have to head out Saturday evening. We will see.

Just let me know when you are about ready and we can work out a day for me to come up.

Hey BJ, if you have an engine hoist which I'm sure you do you can lift the back end by placing a timber under the side ribs through the back doors and lift the back end. For the front I placed a beam under the rocker panels on jack stands placed wide enough to roll the chassis under the body. I did this all on my own, have the extra hand would be helpful though..

John,
That’s just the info I needed. I am just a little fuzzy on the location of the timber. The front is high enough already but the way I have the back of the Panel supported now won’t allow me to get the chassis all the way under the rear of the Panel.

I hooked a timber wide enough to span across and under those ribs for lack of a better name above the magnet and just rapped a chain in the center and lifted with the engine hoist..I like to lift from a high point so there is less chance of rolling..

Abe, how’d you do that? I tried twice even flipping the originals to be correct after the FTE Site rotated them And they still came out rotated.

John your info has been invaluable!

Too many projects John! But I hate to see them waste away in fields and barns.

I saved them to my tablet then flipped them using the editing feature on my tablet. Then I posted them.
