Been awhile since I updated this. So far I have completely rebuilt the brakes, and front suspension. I have bead blasted and repainted the wheels white, it will be running narrow white wall tires with reproduction 64-66 chrome hubcaps and trim rings.
I drove to Kansas City last Monday and picked up a oak bedwood kit and new steel bed strips, along with a bunch of other parts while I was up there.
This weekend I replaced the rear axle shaft seals, cover gasket, replaced all 4 shocks, and bled the brakes. I still need to schedule a front end alignment and have the tires balanced.
In the coming weeks I will be finishing the bed wood and getting it installed. Then I will be busy getting some of the lighting problems ironed out, and plan to pull the engine back out to clean it up, reseal and repaint it before dropping it back in.
I will try to post some better outdoor pictures of the truck later in the week. But I'm making pretty good progress.
