Default Righty and lefty....

Hi Louie

Sounds like someone installed the front brake drums on the wrong side....left hand threads should both be on the left side.

Have you run the engine yet???

Since you have the engine in primer, on you might want to give it another coat of Ford gray/blue which is very close to the original color from the factory..... spray cans available from CTC.

Cheers

Louie,

Ik seemed you were having lots of fun with that 2pack spraycan

You suggested in your video that your chassis might have been cut....I think it might only be missing 4 inches or so...the three holes in the sides of the chassis rails are used to secure the cast brackets that hold the rear tow hitch...the castings and hitch actually hang from under the chassis.

Default UPdate........

Sadly the project was very time consuming and costly and stopped as far as I know. The truck was pieced out a few years ago some small stuff coming to the barn.
