1956 6400 part 18

We have had a fairly productive week working on the truck. We are still moving along with the body work. I also was having issues with my air compressor. The unit was spitting oil. We had changed the oil back in January, I don't know why it became an issue now, but it seems that there was about 2 oz.too much in it. I drained it to the proper level, but still had oil residue in my air hoses. Kevin replaced the filter/regulator also. That is the last thing I need on my body work. Thankfully I ran air tools for hours today and everything seems normal.

In a bit of good news the mirror brackets I ordered back in early Feburary finally came on Wednesday! In a bit of strangeness, the truck did not have a right side mirror. It not only made the truck look out of balance, it is hard to back up with no mirror on the blind side. I mounted them up last night and hung the doors to check the fit. The doors were really poor fitting when we got it. I don't think it was really much of a priority back then. Now that I have done so much rebuilding on them, I was anxious to see how they fit.

We also spent a lit of time working on the cowl and the cab interior. Except for the ceiling, most of the interior paint has been removed and surface rust addressed. Still cleaning anything and everything and rebuilding components.


I will add a few photos of the door fit up.

Thanks for reading!
