One step forward, two steps back...

The new bushings I installed ended up slightly oblonged when they were pressed into the spring eyelets to the point where the spring pins couldn't slide through, so I had to push them back out and take them to the local machine shop to have the insides turned. Once they were re-installed, I discovered the 4 LMC pins could now go through them, but the 2 NOS pins wouldn't ohwell Soooo I bought 2 more of those pins off LMC, thankfully they're only $8 a piece.

Regardless of all that, I now have a rolling frame! grin

I'll finish up paint later, as for now it will be rolled into the shed and out of the elements. Now to focus on cab repairs and figuring out my engine options. headscratch
