Man do you know how annoying it is to see fine craftsmanship when I'm only capable of something less? Good luck with your rebuild. Paul

Those are some great pics.
How long have you been working on it?
Any projected finish date?
Great shots of the brake band linkage. That will come in very helpful to someone one day when they are confused about adjusting the clutches etc.

Give Farmer John a call. I had issues with him returning my e-mails also. I only got a few parts from him. He has a lot of stuff but his prices are high I think.

Hi,

So, what do you do with the hot dogs? Have a picnic while working?

Hi,

Well, if one googles farmer john, there are a lot of pork product results. If one goes to their website, and selects products, one get this result. Their Number One product is....hot dogs!

That's a good one Stan. I looked through his pictures a bunch of times too. I only saw some of that nerve medicine in a blue can.

You might try McGrew's also. They have a good bit of stuff but high prices as well.

Another round of paint new parts and some installs. what do you all think toolboxes or no toolboxes? getting belly pans fitted tonight.

Nice progress.
I'd say one toolbox on the right hand side.

Have you tried putting the battery under the fuel tank? I know mine wouldn't fit under there, but mine was probably bigger than normal.

Diesel battery box was on fender, won't fit under tank. I have new battery boxes done if you need one.
