Well I'm gonna try to leave my frame in the shop this winter and work around it(being how thats where the deer get cut up and the plow gets stored)the best I can. I may have score both a tranny(top loader) and a locking rear for her

And there some rust issues to contend with----that didn't turn out so well the first time Pic's to come

Can't wait to see you pick up with your progress again. Looks like it was going good.

Well maybe it's a good thing this has taken so long----not happy with the first coat of Chassis Saver

And here's brand new caliper rustin to hell

So then I figured that I might as well break the shackles apart

And on to the rearend

and after a good bath in PurplePower and a good pressure washing

So plan's are sandblast rearend and shackles---powdercoat to follow
Scrub and sand down frame ---second coat with

On a good note(least to me---it's free) have recieved a Detroit locker /3.50gears

Well since that post I 've powdercoated the rearend and brake drums but sprayed the shackle parts and recoated frame with Xo rustolium
waiting on my(scatterbrained) buddy to figure out which rearend he wants to part with---he has the locker and also has a couple of posi ---one with 4:11 gears

So I'm stuck until I can put the rearend back together---it's alot easier to move with wheels

Just rebuilt my 1st rear end...9'trac lock. So now I need to press off (never changed them the 1st time)my axle bearing and install new ones. Then I can start to put the rear end assembly back on the frame. Pic's coming

Jerry, be careful with that man! I'd had bearing retainers fly across the shop tryin' to press them off before! Also wound up torching them off one time on my 76' EB. They can be stubborn.

Did ya'll get the storm up there? Bet the grankids loved it!

Thx jeff--I'll be careful...might have to take them to the ford garage,my buddys press ain't tall enough

planned on heating the retainer ring as I pressed it off

And no big storms here.....just cold
