A few days have passed. Craig installed both front wheel bearings after repacking the bearing and installing new seals.
The Huck style wheel cylinder on the right front will not adjust or turn to properly adjust the right front brake. I notified Julie at Jim Carter and she will send a replacement out right away. Once we get that, Craig can button up all the wheels and install the front tires. Another big step.
It took hours of searching and some luck to find a
green, rusty, original tailgate and the price was fair. Obviously I could have purchased a new one but that would have gone completely off the rails of originality. Bob Adler, Adler's Antiques, will forward me a picture before I commit. I also asked about a heater box and heater core just in case mine is bad and he has one of each as well.
Craig installed the fuel pump.
The engine puzzle certainly is filling up.
