For general hardware stuff I usually dig into the grade 8 bulk bins at TSC or Rural King... Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

JD 5020 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I hear that, I am loking into restoring B Model windows, glass and rubbers and think I will need to take out a second mortage. It takes some of the fun out of the hobby when it hits the pocket book so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For general hardware stuff I usually dig into the grade 8 bulk bins at TSC or Rural King... THAT WAS EACH! A TOTAL OF $400! The bolt are 20mm threads and 21mm shank(interferance fit) If I thinking i would have just reamed the holes out and used 7/8, BUT then they wouldnt have said MACK on them like the $32 bolts do! bobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Well Rob Its like the girls I went out with in high school... THEY looked pretty! boB0Grade 8 "shoulder bolts" are available in the aftermarket but not usually in the size you need for trucks. I purchased a "Hougen" magnetic drill press for this operation with 2" deep cutters. After locating suspension and such, and clamping securely, you then drill through everything with the correct size cutter for the bolt. Quite simple that way and if doing more than a single chassis in one's lifetime, is worth the tooling cost(s). Use hardened fasteners including the flat washers and I like red "Loctite" as assurance.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
