    Excellent usually ZEP truck wash will take off lettering heat gun for plastic labeling , striping also time consuming for removing the plastic but it slides right off with the heat gun but no matter what you do you’re still gonna tell we’re all that stuff was. Your not going to avoid shooting the box with fresh paint. Thanks for the updates. I really like it myself.let’s giterdone… bob

    Sorry, I forgot to log out last night. I was just going to change the rear seal The outer seal looks like it’s in pretty good shape. I hadn’t really thought about it. Also, I looked up the cross reference to 2129 and it says there’s no such animal.

    After I cleaned up the brake shoes, then took a shower changed my clothes I went to a small car show just down the street now getting ready to barbecue probably start cleaning the drum and hub a bit tomorrow see if I can get any grease in the S cam

    Lol that’s an understatement yes I’ve got quite a bit of clean up inside there I was also wondering about just what that recessed area so to speak was all about so thanks for that

    But I did spot on Google search where the seal number was cross referenced to something else

    I have books out of my workshop, but I don’t think they’re gonna tell me anymore than I need to know.

    Well, that’s funny Joey cause I know absolutely nothing about the B model
  8. mowerman
    Oh, it’s just gonna pull the band off and bring the seal number and the band down to fleet pride Monday
  9. mowerman
    Well, it probably is one step up from a B model since it’s a 66 and they were still building the B model beginning of the year so it probably got the same rear ends

    Good point about the spoiled kids, but on the other hand, everything is so expensive these days when I was drawing 100 dollar paychecks along with a lot of other kids back in those days you could buy cars all day long for 100 bucks now they’re lucky to do 300 bucks a week check and everything out there is at least 2000 bucks for a beater so most cases these days parents have to help out with their first purchase at least but yes, a lot of them go way overboard these days

    Yeah, thanks for that. I used to have a spring tool for a car. I don’t know if I still have it. I can’t find it. I’ve got way too much shit around here and I could never find anything. I lost my grease gun when we moved here 20 year ago it’s out there somewhere
  16. mowerman
    And yes there’s only one spring at the top bottom is pins with snap rings

    Yes I got a tank it’s got dirty cleaner in it right now and yes I ordered 5 gallons of soap for it from Amazon it’s very powerful and yes you have to wear gloves otherwise it burns my skin
  18. mowerman
    They look 3/8s hard to say thier dripping in oil and slop right now
  19. mowerman
    And no, I was not planning on using air tools on them, but as mentioned, they may come already riveted
  20. mowerman
    I’m assuming last guy just replaced the seal
  21. mowerman
    Yeah it’s right on the seal visible
  22. mowerman
    Is there a number on the band ???
  23. mowerman
    Yes
  24. mowerman
    Excellent thanks for all your help I’m going out in a while just for now I’m going to clean up the shoes with gasoline then start making calls of drive down there hopefully today I got a sneaky suspicion this truck will be in here a while… oh well I’ll start stripping the interior

    To tell you the truth, these shoes look like they’re aluminum as that possible They’re so filthy. It’s hard to tell anything about them.
