Need to get back in this thread as I am still doing little here and there. Now my main goal is to get it running and drivable, to see how it drives as well as any changes I may need. I know my mind is all over the place, one minute I want to do a complete teardown, the next I want to drive it as is. Reading a lot of threads where it has taken 5-10 years for some to complete and my worry is that if I do tear it apart, it'll probably never get done.
So far I sandblasted the rear part of the frame to the cab, painted it. Replaced the seals in the axle, going to replace the brake lines and rebuild the brake cylinders. The drums look like new as do the pads, don't seem like they have been used. Next step is to finish up the front bearings and hubs, cleaned them up as the grease was hard. Then I move onto the wiring, radiator and get the engine running. Going to stay with the 6 volt setup for now till I see how things are going. Not worried about bright lights as I'm in ND and the summers sun sets around 11:00.
Will upload some pictures when I get them transferred to new PC. Sure am glad I listened to you all, I have ran into some things that I forgot about. Had to back track into the photos to see what went were and how.
Love this place.
