Both I-beam bushings are in and the the I-beams are back on the truck. Waiting for the new Kingpins and reamer to arrive. It will be awhile till they arrive, having to cross the border from the States to Canada. In the meanwhile I will clean up, sandblast and paint the brake backing plates and spindles.

Wow, you are crusing through this project! Can't wait to see the reassembly and see this thing look like a truck again! Keep up the steady work!

I will probably take the cab off next spring, that is when I plan to do the panel work on the cab. My shop is not heated for the winter, it gets a bit costly when the temperature drops to -30C to -40C in the winter. :)

Do you plan to reassemble and get it running in the mean time? Or will the project be on hold until spring??

The project will probably be on hold till the spring. Will spend the winter getting body panels together for next spring. I want to price out rebuilt 302 engines also, see if I will do it myself or get a shop to do it.
