  1. Thanks for the ideas guys! I got lucky, started to put a bearing splitter on it and it popped right off. You're right about safety gear, whenever I use a hammer, grinder, cutter, etc. I cover everything up. There was a guy on here that got his arm torn up pretty good by a cutoff wheel...let me see if I can remember who that was...

  2. I used my steam cleaner to strip some parts, works well when the water is that hot. I used Nason Ful-poxy primer and was very happy with it, but if you're going to blast later that would be overkill. I used it on the chassis, engine, etc. and it really sticks-hard to scratch or chip. You have to top coat within 24 hours but it sure makes a strong coating when you do that.

  3. Working on trying to get the truck driveable; today's project is the rear brakes. Looks like new shoes are in order.

    Also some past axle damage; bearing is sloppy on the spindle so I'll have to get that fixed at some point.

    One inner bearing is stuck on the axle, I'll try an H bar to pull it off. If that doesn't work, is the heat wrench the next step? Any suggestions?

  4. In the blizzard of '78 the water lines in our high school froze and flooded the building, we had to have split sessions in the junior high until they fixed it. Our house was all electric and we didn't have any alternate heat so we stayed with the neighbors for a few days until the power came back on. We didn't have school for a couple of weeks I think. A farmer friend had to use his loader to clear out our driveway--I think the drift was several feet high.

    Man that’s a lot of work I would’ve just had somebody do it but then again ca ching ca Ching if you’re not doing something like that yourself if it’s just rust, I would put sandpaper on the end of a stick With any kind of light oil good luck… bob

    Chaching is right, my local radiator shop told me $900 to cut the tank open and clean and weld it back up again. And that's not a complete belly replacement like 1961H67 did.

    Speaking of coal I got a nice little fire of nut size anthracite going now keeping the house nice and warm. I haul a ton or two in my dump trailer behind my pickup every winter but it’s for personal use. It doesn’t take much to keep my little shack warm all winter.

    Aren't you worried that the gas company will be upset with you?

    Bugger me, that's a bit of a issue

    Is it double railed or jist fatigued 

    A lot of people build a shed first in Australia and fit a couple of baus out like a house to live in while the house is built

    They call these a shouse, half shed half house

    But I  guess what ever you come up with will be fine

    Paul

    The Hendrickson suspension has rails on the trunion, there's rust jacking between these and the frame.

    We did that when we built this house, ended up living in the barn for 4 years!

    A shouse sounds like slang for an outhouse.

  8. Got some bad news on the truck...I pulled it into the shop today to do some work on it, and I made the mistake of looking at the frame rails. I'll probably end up splicing in some new rear sections since the truck has already been stretched. I can't tear it down yet; we will be moving at some point because they are "industrializing" our area and we bought property a little farther out. We have to build a house and shop so that will take a while, I don't want to tear down the truck until we move.

    That truck is done up nice! Interesting they've ditched the steer axle brakes!

    It probably came without steer brakes, I've seen trucks as new as 1975 without factory installed brakes.
