Re: My 56 6bt 4X4 build.

Well i wasnt really looking to do much more on the truck for a bit becouse boating seasion is close by. I have 3 launches booked next week and the ice isnt even out yet.

however I was at the parts store today and found that Raybestos tierod ends were only $25. so 2 new ones are on the truck. this way I can try the old ones and see if they are the rite size / taper to use for the link to go from the steering box to the axle. I hop so . this way I can just get 2 more and tap the inside of some tube and make a new link affordabily.

I also took the 56 shift knob and tapped it to fit the dodge shifter. Thanks for that idea Luther. installed a few new lug nuts to replace ssome badly worn ones.

I have so much I need to get doing soon !!!! I have abt 55 boats here in storage in the other 2 buildings. But Im havin so much dam fun workin on this old turd.... I cant stop !!!

Hopefully we get some sun on the wknd. i'd like to get a few good pics of it outside to compare ride hight etc.

As of rite now we are suppost to get freezing rain like crazy tonite. Hope not.
