So I am changing out my front leaf springs and shackles and pivot pin- Wow what a job- I am going to take my old oxy/acet bottles and get them filled, I need some heat- anything to help break some of these old bolts loose- I hope to have it done soon, as well as get the radiator back in. Then I will be working on my enclosed portion of my driveshaft seal replaced.
I am also going to start welding up some of the cracks in the bed metal- mainly at the back end where the rolled bed caps are there are some cracks- and in the tailgate some of the welds have failed. The I will probably pull the bed off and put in my patch panel cab corners- I am not thrilled to do it, but It will be a good learning experience- then I will put some fresh rust treatment, primer and tractor paint to protect the welds and fresh metal.
