  4. lol I think it gets a addicting frankly, I can’t wait to get all this mess behind me and start on something a little cleaner my spring came today. It wasn’t supposed to be here till November 3. I don’t know how it got here so fast it beat the seals that were supposed to be here two days ago and Mrs Mack Paul was right I ordered the spring according to length and yes, it’s really hefty and it will work. We’ve got nice weather the next few days. I’m gonna try to get this thing finished. Running out now to do some more cleaning. Thanks for the peptalk.
  5. Well, I got a lot more cleanup done yesterday. No pictures. I was pretty impressed with my progress was out there all day scrubbing more oil and grease of the parts. well, on my way today I got GYM and eyeglasses then a little bit more cleaning. I think this job was messier than the steering box was. I don’t know how long that thing was leaking, but that slop was everywhere. Lots of gasoline, SOS pads and degreaser.. now I’ve noticed one of my wheel keepers is cracked. I’m going to try to weld it…. Bob

  7. oh by the way i like your description of milk,,,,makes it sound like illegal xxx shine out of the hills in a 47 ford...bob
  8. Well, I’m not doubting you , but from this distance , it looks like a 359 Peter bilt to me lol I do remember a few years back. I had to get out of a T 800 Kenworth and get into a Volvo. I was furious. Talk about a step down the Volvo’s were such junk the company wound up getting rid of all of them now they’re buying nothing but Peterbilt and Kenworth and now frankly, they’re all junk both companies, lots of recalls
