Packed the rotor bearings. Fixed the tailgate rattle a few days ago. Cost a wapping 4$ have enough to do probably 100 gates. I used white grease on the trunion works great

Rotors are Stop Tech~~Tie rod adjusters are Western Chassis~~Moog and Mevotech for the rest of it~~Keeping all the take offs for the time being~~~~~

So you just stretched a bike tire slice to fit around? It still fits in the hole? And it doesn't scrunch up when you move it?

Yup just a little donut of the tube.
Works like a charm . White grease it well .

That's cool. At least I got some good product photos for the rotors & tie rod adjusters. Thanks for the info.

Getting a handle on my latest project

mosel70 · 07-27-2018, 12:58 PM

‘70 stepside, wet sanding clear and getting ready to paint cab. I hope ... it’s hot in Las Vegas. But super fun after 8 months of prep.

VWNate1 · 07-27-2018, 10:19 PM

@ 102* F in the shade it was too hot to work on it so I worked on old Motocycles next to it in the shade instead.....

**Boog** · 07-27-2018, 10:40 PM

Nate I hope you had a big round fan blowing on you while in that heat. I am proud to have a home shop, as hot as it is, but I do remember many a years working up under the big trees out back. We had a bunch of big old pecan trees back then and seems like there was usually a bit of a breeze there.

Metaldoc · 07-28-2018, 12:49 AM

A/C window shaker in the shop and it stays 21.5C or around 70F all year long winter or summer 70F.

'69C-10 · 07-28-2018, 01:15 PM

Didn't all happen in one day, but finally finished.

stevenfromtexas · 07-28-2018, 04:22 PM

VWNate1 · 07-28-2018, 07:00 PM

No ;

I don't have a fan out side, I should get one but then I'd have to run a cord out side, etc, etc. ~ the last time I forgot the put the cord away one of the dogs ate it, I'm lucky it wasn't electrocuted .

The heat is miserable so this morning I and an old Friend rode bikes up into the mountains for breakfast, it was hot up there too .

I'm trying to add a photo but it's been downloading for over 15 minutes now.....

Nice. Wish mine was wood .

66clow · 07-28-2018, 07:26 PM

Decided not to spend money on a new gate🤣

72c20customcamper · 07-28-2018, 07:27 PM

Replace the flex fan and found my crank pulley is out of alignment to the water pump ,alt and ps pump. Ps Pump I shimed it out but the alt there is no real way to shim it. Once I get the alt to lime up o the crank I can shim the water pump pulley out.

Econman · 07-28-2018, 07:46 PM

Built up my dolly to get the cab higher off the floor for my painter.
