Brain,
Makes pushing the front axle UP your driveway and under your truck look like the hard way too do it doesn't it?

 

I made this out of an old barrel cart. I also have legs for it to work on an axle at a comfortable standing height.


and some more of the cart collection.

 

Sure does........

That's it...I'm going to go sulk somewhere....and do this....

 

Man,

You make some cool stuff ...

 

Doesn't everybody have one of those?

 

Thanks TMan.
you know what they say.......... Necessity is a mother.

 

Oh come on now you have a welder.

 

I thought so.

 

Oliver, I knew you were out there silently observing

 

I feel kinda dumb typing "great work" every other day in your post, but I check out your progress most days.
The old truck is looking AWESOME!

I couldn't help rib Trashingcows a bit for doing HIS 4x4 conversion out on his sloped driveway.
That must have been tough for him, to get that front D60 up hill and under his crew at the same time.
He doesn't seem to let small things like that slow him down though.

 

Thanks for the complement, I know there is quite a few people watching my build that haven't' commented. that's pretty cool to be able to watch someone build a truck miles a way.( I just had a craving for popcorn)

I know what you mean about Brian's driveway. You mean small things like snow. Don't forget pushing the engine uphill. that had to be tough. Makes me look like a wimp when I quit when it gets too hot.

 

Why do you think I did it through the winter...can't use the excuse..."It's too hot out."

But thanks for the compliments guys....I appreciate it!

 

This summer has been one of the hottest we have had in years.

 

Self explanatory.

 

Between shuttling my mom to doctors appointments and scans and now to radiation treatments I got some done on the truck.
I started looking at the cracked and broken parking brake mounting hole. It was easier to cut it out and start over than fix what I had. Here is the backing plate/ stiffener. and the new replacement part.

and my repainted dash plaque.
