My truck now has the spring;-) A huge thank you to M35A2-AZ. Thanks again Albert!!

Thanks Peter I needed that. I do need to get motivated and do something with that truck:-P

I too thought about going with dot 3. However with the amount of moisture in the PNW, I opted for Dot 5.

Need I mention? 10 days and counting;)

Super Single Mouting Part II More pics. Your graphics card and RAM is being exercised;-) It's amazing how tires can really change the appearance of a truck or any vehicle for that matter. I am really pleased how these tires look. I'll find out how they drive in a couple weeks when I make my...

Super Single Mounting Part I The day wasn't over yet! I still about 6 hours left of light...hmmmmm....why not! Let's get those super singles mounted;-) The procedure was pretty straight forward. Just used a series of crowbars to lift the tire onto the hub. The tire was actually pretty easy to...

Alignment Cont Alignment Cont This procedure was pretty straightforward and very easy to do. It may sound like a big job but I think washing the truck is tougher;-). The most challenging part was freeing the threads on the tie rod ends to the shaft. It took a few whacks of the hammer and...

Field Front End Alignment As mentioned previously, the steer tires were pretty chewed up after I got her home from the initial recovery trip. There were pieces of rubber hanging off the tires and the driver side tire was really worn down. My conclusion was it was really out of alignment...

Thanks for the offer Peter. I wish I had room in my garage...LOL. I do need to find a foldable one or something. In the meantime, I'll need to rig up something to get one of those 395's in the back of the truck. Thinking about constructing an A-frame with 4x4 posts and the chain fall for the...

Looks great! I'm still gearing up for our big rally/parade on 21JUL. Gees only 11 days to go.

Yikes, what a loss that was. That's too bad.

Not much progress on this truck. I do, however, have 7 Michelin XML's waiting to go on this truck. Just need to secure some inner tubes and either a slide hammer or duckbill hammer for bead breaking.

Used my '88 A2C to prop up my super singles for my 923...does that count:?:

Welcome aboard!

Great story

I bought a brand new control box directly from the gov't manuf (Southern Automotive) on ebay. They have them listed for only $133. Considering others are selling them for well over $200.

I thought about pulling the hardtop to reseal it. However I discovered she has a brand new 2006 dated hardtop. Thanks for the heads up Peter. I do need to rip into the hubs...I think. Those hubs look heavy. Might be time to invest in a cherry picker:-).

I still have a 12 yd roll of 1000 denier OD green I still need to use. This thread rattled my cage about it;-)

Looks great!! Got a pic of the tire slide hammer you used?

Outstanding! I got all mine mounted today. My tires were sliding in the wet grass...LOL. I aired them all up tonight and will check air pressures in the morning. Hopefully I won't have any air leaks. If I'm good to go then I'll get them mounted on the truck Monday.
