Thank you for telling me about the track bar 62Stick, that's good to know. I looked at it, and the mount seems to be missing altogether. I'll probably remove the bracket from my frame and put it on the new one, I'll have to do some research and find out if that will work. Doug, It's neat that you and I are at the same point, it'll be fun to follow along with each other.
I got most of the frame wire wheeled today, I would have had it done sooner but this big wind slowed things down a bit. I found a whole lot of numbers stamped on the frame, and have no idea what any of them mean. It also appears to have 2 VIN numbers!? The first is in the normal spot, top of the left frame rail about 20" from the end, but whoever stamped it seems to have had a problem with the last digit. I think it's a 6. In addition, the VIN is repeated on the same frame rail, about were the cab sits EXCEPT that the last digit is a 5, not a six. Very interesting. There was also a long string of numbers on the side of both rails, right behind the front cab mount, and "S-17" on both rails, right in front of the core support brackets. I'm going to do some research and try to find out what these mean.
anyway, just thought I'd share what I got done today.
