UPDATE UPDATE
so I have been working on the truck- over the weekend I was able to pressure wash the entire truck frame and Cab- I then scraped off more dirt- then washed and more scraping- a wire brush and few hours in the sun allowed me to rust convert and encapsulate the area not covered by the cab- the rear diff, springs steering etc.
I then put the truck back inside- I Did hit all the grease fittings with fresh grease and wha-la I have 1949 suspension again. even the knee shock are working somewhat- I plan to open then up and put in fresh fluid and check the seals- the steering box is in good shape so some fresh seals and it is all set- Tuesday morning the Car restoration body shop foreman is coming to give me an estimate on body work and paint- I am going to have them paint the frame black and time permitting(and Price) install new glass in the cab and doors-
Then I will bring the truck home- install the engine and drive train, electronics(all 6V- and everything else- LOTS of work still to do though and I cannot wait to drive this monster- Hope that was not to evident in all the threads- I will have some updated pics before to long.
