I second the park brake. Mine had a god awful annoying rattle and I found one of the springs on the park brake shoes was broken. Made the drum ring like a bell when I was driving,
I have got westechs spin on oil filters on my truck and am very happy with them. He even fabbed me up custom threaded adapters so I could use the larger filters on one of his older kits. Great guy to deal with!
Hey Dave, I met you at your shop when sean had his 5ton there. After reading this thread I see how much work you put into your truck. All I can say is wow! Amazing rebuild!
And yeah, anytime you guys want to meet up with the MV's just let me know, I'll come out. I may actually make a trip to...
Sean stopped by the farm a couple days ago on his way through. Went for a cruise in the 5ton and got a couple nice pictures while he was here. All in all, was a pretty good way to spend an afternoon!
Nice looking setup! I wish I had waited a couple more weeks, I just finished rounding up all the parts I needed for my hydro steering setup. The steering box I grabbed was the HF54 unit off an old LN700, and the truck also had the ram assist on the tie rod as well. I'm pretty sure I can make it...
Glad to see ya guys got the beast back on the road! Was nice meeting all of you when I stopped in to check the truck out. Pretty good of you to set him up with the shop there too plowboy! Sorry I couldn't hang out longer, but I think we're gonna have to get together again sometime. Hopefully the...

It's the dang park brake shoes rattling. There's a spring on the top that was broken. It's a special one that goes over a bolt. I haven't been able to find a source for it yet, maybe I'll post up a pic when I get home so people can see what I'm talking about and point me in the right direction.
Yeah, it definitely gets people looking! I've got a few things I want to get done to it and am looking forward to putting it in the Canada Day parade on the 1st. Should be a hit!
Yeah, I never even thought to post on here before I headed out, otherwise I could have stopped for a bit. There was a few times we pilled over and waited for the worse of the rain to pass.
They sure are. The 395's Andy found for me were sure nice rubber. Most were brand new, and the others...
Yeah Loco, I don't think it could have went much better. I didn't even need to use any of the spare parts except for the new wiper blades. I hope you have a good trip with yours too and not have any trouble along the way.
