Whilst I ponder what to do about the back of the cab I pulled the leaf springs in hopes of getting them rebuilt. But much to my dismay I was told it would cost about $175 per spring to get them back looking like new. And then I would still have a set of spring that were over 60 years old. So it looks as if a new TCI rear leaf kit is in order. In the meantime I decided to pull the rear diff cover off and take a look see. a simple 10 minute task turned into an all afternoon project as one of the bolts holding the cover on had a rounded head and I couldn't get a socket or wrench to get a hold of it. finally I was able to grind 2 flat spots on the head and get a pair of vise grips onto it and break it loose. I expected the worse when I got the cover off, but was pleasantly surprised to find everything looking pretty good except for oil that looked like it was from 1946. all in all everything looks good no chips or slop in the gears. 3.73's by the way
