What have you done to your square lately??

[John-Ryan]

That thing looks solid! I like the tool setup too!

Thanks! Tool storage is a work in progress. There is a large wooden drawer with mechanic tools in it so it's hefty. Under the shelf is my saw stands and saw horses. On the shelf go the hand tools and power tools. Look good when I have the table saw and miter saw in there but makes me look like a DeWalt dealer lol.

Howdy everyone! Long time no see. Been very busy with work, life. Between extreme hours and buying a house, things become quite hectic and i can't work on squares as much

SO anyway i was able to spend some coin and recruit my brother for some Jimmy sandblasting. Had to buy a compressor and some media. Borrowed the blasting pot off a buddy. Was able to get 3/4 the way done today. Don't know what i'd do without the man the myth

Got my donor/replacement cab on the dolly on its back, cleaning the bottom to fill the gearshift openings undercoat it, got to replace a couple capture nuts for the seat bolts.
Question, how difficult is it to remove the master cyl. and brake booster, that makes the cab to tall to fit in the garage......and it is november..it was 64 here today but that wont last

Clean looking. Need to do the same to mine, its amazing how updated it looks!

 

[waterpirate]

Thanx!
The grill is a repro from lmc. It took some finesse to get it to fit right, but patience was the key.

Took the burb out today for a little trip to get a spare tire I found on CL..ended up on the side of the road fixing the fuel sending unit plug connecting to the injectors..wiggled itself loose somehow. Maybe a 33 yr old straight axle truck needing shocks might be the issue ROFL.. After 30miles down the road my recently rebuilt tranny decided to go crazy on me. May need some adjustment on the TV cable, not touching though so I don't void warranty on the 700r4.

The 6 nuts that hold the booster on can be fun, especially if the factory black anti rust goop is still there. I am sure you can get them with a box wrench, but glad I did not have to!

And, cant find the picture- Craftsman hollow ratchet and socket set.

Oh, wait - I did !

 

[Ken B]

i may just try removing the master cyl. and see if that gives me clearance.....i wish i woulda thought about height earlier

Just a restore

Before...
Bald AF tires that came on the wheels we wanted.
They were considered "junk" by the seller and we used them all the way up.

@Maxwellvis has verified they bark when you grab 2nd hard as well as they are super smooth at 80mph on the freeway.

Did you do some burnouts on the bald ones before replacing them? I would have. Lol

Oh yes.
That is how they got to be so bald.
Max would run the big block wide open through first gear and just smoke them.

I must say, I did that a little with the new ones on Saturday.
But it would spin for a second and then hook right up with a loud barrrrk!

cherry bombs installed......hated them after 100 yds out on the street. new thrush will be installed this week and go from there. If these are too loud, I'm going quiet

other than that, everything that can't be done quickly is on hold until after deer season.
