Re: '50 chevy 3100

I got a few more grade 8 bolts and swapped out the grade 5s on rear hangers. Got that new to me step bracket installed it. For some reason a PO added some welds to it. Not sure why, wasn't separating from frame and all four rivets were there.

Me and a buddy sanded cab corners some today. Needs a little more work to smooth up where they got welded on.

Lifted and hung rear axle to make sure my parking brake fables had enough slack and bolted bracket on. Also decided to drill a hole for cable to pass through frame instead of going under... lines up good and hope to get cable cut and a new end on soon.

Also got one old upper rear shock mount off, same as step bracket, had couple welds along with the fa Cory rivets to cut. Really wish a PO hadn't cut the tops off.

Lastly, got last three hold downs on fuel line.
