Got my Axles back Friday from Lynn and he had cut 400 thousands off the bearing retainer rings, which is about 3/8ths of an inch. I put them in and everything seems to work okay now. I also put the backing plates and brakes on with the new hubs. I had some trouble hooking up the parking brake cables but with persistance, they finally went in. I still have to put a couple more clamps on the cables to the frame. Got to find clamps first. I then drug out my roller wheels and tires and put them on the rear. Lookin good so far.
Also this week I found a set of 60/40 bucket seats out of a 95 Ranger on Craigslist in Burlington for 40 bucks. I had to sandblast the slightly rusted bottom slider mechanisms and repaint them black. Got them working pretty well. Looks like I will have to get them reupholstered later on. I also have to build some pedistals to set them on in the cab. I have to do a mockup in the cab when I get it flipped back over.
Also I started using some of the Metal to Metal body filler on the cab this week. When I opened the can it was like concrete in the bottom 1 inch of the can. Tried to stir it up but couldn't get all the lumps out. Took it back to CARQUEST and they gave me a new fresh can. I'll try it out today.
