Got everything cleaned up an working freely, going to bead blaster tomorrow
This is all that's left of the muffler, guess I'm going to buy one that was mentioned in a post, the one that has the input and output on the same end.
AA, this is what they all looked like when I removed the drums, been bead blasting the parts, freeing up the brake adjusters, checking bearing and seals, replacing wheel cyls. and anti-seizing all the bolts and nuts. Maybe they will last as long as I will need them.:lol:
Great looking projects, I found that the big trucks can be long term projects, been working on mine for a couple years, got 2 more wheels needing wheel cyls. installed, after this brake job, I will feel home free, only the exhaust left.
Went to pick up a couple of 1942 Ford GPW bodies I found at a steal, I was telling him I had a M211, he said he had something to give me, he said it was a distributor for a GMC, I haven't been to the shop to verify against mine, never know what will pop up.:grin:
Nice project, looks like you need an underbody kit and some floor panels, shop around for underbody kit, prices all over the place, check out m151bodypanels.com, Guy has nice replacement panels, good luck on your project. Hambone
I thought at one point I could repair my muffler but it is beyond repair, is there a muffler out there that would be a good starting point for modification? Thanks, Hambone
Thanks guys, is it possible to get the master cyl. brake line bolt at the parts house? the one in my airpak has been crossed threaded in the past, I ran a 1/2-20 tap in the airpak, it cleaned up, now I just need a new bolt, it's the same one as in the master cyl.
Finally back working my truck, the question I have is, should I adjust my brake shoes before I put the axle back in? If not, how many wheels will I have to jack up to get them to turn freely? I went ahead and stuck the axle back before thinking I couldn't turn the hubs with it in.
