Its a civic holiday here today. Happy Saskatchewan Day to everyone. We're going to butcher more chickens today. Inlaws are coming to help. Yesterday our biggest was 9lb 11oz dressed. The things are darned near turkies!!
We took the cobra for a cruise yesterday, out through Madge Lake/Duck Mountain Provincial Park, into Roblin, MB, then back home.

Happy Holiday Monday mornin'all. Jordan removed all the bolts holding down the box on the 56. We're going to yank it off, and hide jt some where, where the neighbors won't get offended. The rest of my parts to mount the diff will be in on Wednesday. Hope to have it mocked in place next weekend. Have a great day guy's.

Are you keeping the stock rear axle Grant? I believe the one I`m using is from a Granada giving me the same Ford car bolt pattern as the front and I used rear springs from a 75 F100 for a smoother ride.

We started to clean the frame up. I noticed the dr rear frame hoen may be bent due to a collision. It looks very slight, and untill I install the new spring's and diff, I'll measure it up and repair as necessary. The rear shock mount also has to come out due to some butchered welding. I didn't notice any of this before, due to the box being mounted. Oh well, it's all part of the fun. Jordan is very motivated as I am, so we should get a lot done before winter.

Nice work Grant. **** on the neighbors...
Won't hold the lack of pics against you Mo... I know what its like.
Gerry how's your shop coming?
Wife and I started assembling our HiQual building last night. Dracula and his gang showed up and hindered major progress... My apologies to the farmers for this request, but a snap freeze over night to kill these damn blood sucking beasts would make me pretty happy!!!
