Hello, Just getting back in the game. I disassembled my truck over 20 years ago with ideas of restoring it, but life and other priorities were taking up my time. Well, I'm ready to get the truck back together. My plans have changed a little. I'm planning to add front disc brakes and maybe updated shocks (if I can find a rebuild kit for the lever action shocks, maybe I'll keep them). I'm swapping out the tired 216 for a 1960 235 and keeping the 4-speed transmission. I'm going to tackle rebuilding the torque tube rear axle this winter and swap to 3:55 gears. I bought the rear end kit from Patrick's back in 2004, so hoping all parts are still good. Not planning to paint the truck anymore. I want a nice dependable truck that looks like an old farmer's truck. I'm so glad for this group and the wealth for information waiting for me. Thanks to you all.
