Your attention to detail is incredible! I can't wait to see her finished. How much you figure the spring packs (rear) weigh?

Each rear spring pack weighs 680 pounds.

Got two of those torque in place yesterday .I cheated the two lower right side rods. Picked up a 2.375" combination wrench at tool town for $38.00. Just need it for the upper rods not much room next to the rearend . That was one nice crate for those parts.

Have you got a museum picked out to honor with your truck's presence? What a magnificent job!!

Got the rear axles under the frame today, Just one more piece of the puzzle.

I noticed in one of the pics, that the front crankshaft seal on your engine in the background appears to be about .010" undersize. You might want to take a look at that. haha. Lookin good, just don't stop and part it out once you get a rolling chassis!

did you get the shoes relined, or are they still available?

Yes the shoes are available, but hard to fine.

 

[Dirt71]

Air/Brake System parts mounted.

Might be easier to take old shoes and have them re-lined than to try and source NOS shoes for this model.

Wow, new hardware for the fittings too, you're pulling out all the stops on this restoration!

Nothing your looking at is new, including the brake shoes. Just a lot of time cleaning made to look new. Most every thing on this truck was in new condition, as the truck only had 10,467 original miles

I am amazed by your attention to detail. Your truck is on its way to numerous "best of show" awards!
