Hi Denny:
It has been so long I don't remember what I used. I think it was yellow chalk dust I mixed with something to make it stick. I do remember I took the shims in and out like 6 times one Saturday and gave up. Then it occurred to me to go back to the combination that came with the truck and it was perfect. So anyone out there never give up. The best thing about these old trucks is you can rebuild every part. Now if I ever finish it! Down to installing the headlight buckets and in the spring paint the hood and wheels.
