One thing I noticed, following the advice from someone here, is that I would reach a point of frustration trying to pull the tires and I would just stop for the day. It wasn't worth hating the project to try and keep going. So then the next day I tried and got a tire or two more done eventually over the course of the week I got the 6 done. And I still like working on the bus. need to maintain the positive image for my boys so they grow up loving the old iron too. So there is more to learn here than just how to fix or rebuild a truck.
Thanks to you guys!!
