Took the broken hub/flange to a machine shop in Austin TX, W2Macfab. They're on Airport Blvd just south of the Bolm intersection, address 760 Airport Blvd. Talk to Alan Redus 512.385.3770
Took the drums and brake shoes to Austin Brake and Clutch. Ronnie in back on the lathe is one of the old-school guys. Took off the minimum from the drums and shimmed between the shoe and the lining. Rivetted together as a sandwich. Job Well Done. Talk to Randall Howard 512.836.0482
Front suspension springs repaired by Atlas Automotive Spring & Alignment, 3535 E 7th St, in Austin. They do mostly 18 wheelers, buses and RV's. They built me a single top leaf to repair both sides. Also had them push in the new King Pin bushings, reamed them out, installed the spindles and pushed the new king pins that I sourced.
Engine boring to +.080 and crank & rod to +.040 is being done at Leo Machine, 8817 Leo Street in Austin. Again, I source the parts and do the repairs, but needed some help with the machine work. Talk to Danny at 512.282.5581
Chassis/frame is stripped clean. Will put it back together as a rolling chassis and then call the mobile media blaster, Texas Green Blaster in Round Rock, Tx (just north of Austin). They use crushed glass, wet or dry. I'll use dry blast on the chassis, price $400 for first two hours and then $200/hr after the minimum two-hour charge. Will let you know how that one goes. I'll do the etching and epoxy primer after media blasting.
