Spent most of the day reading and responding to Zout's texts. Always nice to hear from a Bro! In between I cleaned up the front axle steering knuckle hardware to complete the front axle. Removed all the studs and steering arm dowels for the housing since they were not in the correct...

Not sure about the brain surgery part but I am really glad you found the proper diagnoses for a problem that I know has been really bothering you. Now...:grd:

It was purely a Henry Ford thing and Ford continued to stamp all part manufactured by them with a script letter "F" Eventually, the goverment made Ford stop the practice. They put that letter and virtually everything except washers. Some GPW restorers pay high prices to get the original...

Finished the rear axle brake parts install and packed and installed the rear axle wheel bearings and grease seal. Installed the brake drums, washers and nuts and adjusted. Cleaned and primered the rear axles and flanges and will install them tomorrow. Thankfully, this vehicle has most of the...

Hey Commander, I am not a machinist but I do know about the drill chuck thingy so please do not ban me from your thread. :burn:

Hey PB, where did you get that great picture of Zout. I just realized that bulldogs look just like him. :doh:

Can I paint the crate???? Please, Please. :jumpin:

It is unbearibly hot today and only fit for the like of supermen like Zout. I will just march on at a turtles pace. Working on the rolling chassis and installed the refinished backing plate and brake hardware. Blasted the rear brake drums and set them in primer. Will apply the finish coat...

Thanks for the quick action.

The answer to that one is Soldier B and the grandkids. :roll:

Got some time before starting fence work today and gave the axles two coats of OD. Once the brakes are done I will have enough to put together my rolling chassis. The only thing standing in my way is a week long family vacation at the beach. :-?

Is that a jack next to the Gator?

Is that a plexiglass valve cover you have there. Very cool. [thumbzup]

Gee Clinto, I wonder if our "F" marked parts are still in warranty. By the way, do you have a spare differential yoke? I need the shield off one.

Yes, until Uncle Sam made them stop. The jeep tub was stamped in the rear with the Ford script like the old ford pickup tailgates. Almost all other parts were stampe with the script F mark. From bolts to engine blocks and all the parts between. I guess old Henry really like the recognition.

Took a break from working on the property fence and worked on the front and rear axles. Had to replace to carrier bearings and cups in the front axle. Also replaced the internal oil seals in the differentials and the pinion seals. Adjusted preloads where necessary but the axles were in very...
