Thanks Jeff and the others who have posted encouraging words.
This project has taken a lot longer than I ever anticipated, especially considering there was a bunch of work done to the truck before I got it. The '46 took less time and it was a frame off, ground up, first time ever project for me??
But I am once again at a stall point on this one. Turns out the hubs on the rear I purchased are for 24.5 wheels, not the 22.5 powder coated wheels I have sitting in the shop (seems the guy I purchased the rear from didn't hear me tell him what size wheel I was using any of the dozen times I told him in the course of our transaction).
Not a very dignified way to bring him home from the mechanics shop...

I am working finding the correct hubs, drums and bearings.
I am going to see this thing through, one way or another.
