      Funny story, my youngest was about that age when I slapped a new antenna on my 40 and proceeded to wash it in the drive with my little helper. She set her sights on washing the DS window, grabbed the new antenna to get up to the side step and...

      I’m glad the roof shingle battery tray gripper went unnoticed.

      That was for the winch (usually uncoupled) but it was secured enough to not abrade. The choices we make in our early 20s… I know better now.

      Here’s one of my own temp fixes that lasted 23 yrs until I removed it. The coolant color seemed close enough to try it out. It actually worked as designed and would siphoned back into system when cool.

      My best numbers are cleaned up and can be found here at the following link. My original tub was pretty straight for a 1979 and I'm confident in all these numbers. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/wimberosas-40-project.1295337/post-14869819...

      @wimberosa I’ll take any measurements you’ve got. The more easily this info is reachable the more it helps the next 40 owner. Below are additional dimensions I got including how I squared up and aligned my rear quarters before cutting the panel...

      Mr. Green replied to the thread Brake Inquiry.
      Adjust left to have similar drag as right free wheeling then road test. I think adjusting shoe/cylinder is the same. This is all Assuming also you have cylinders in correct location/orientation of course.

      This temporary resolution is very familiar to me from 20 yrs ago. My solution was fiberglass but when rocks sneak into the cab from below, it’s never a good thing. 😬 Looking forward to tub updates. I’m in the middle of re-welding steel one...

      Mr. Green replied to the thread Brake line troubleshoot.
      FWIW I was able to rescue wheel cylinders back 20 years ago by c clamp across the working cylinders and pump braks to break free the stuck ones. Once free, I cleaned them up on wires wheel and put new seals on. Worked great for another 15 years...

      Mr. Green replied to the thread Brake line troubleshoot.
      Above is correct. If you can continue to pump brakes to firm up pedal then you have too much adjustment in the wheel pistons. If pumping and it is still squishy it’s got to be air or master. Simple hydraulics.

      Have you adjusted the wheel cylinders? Might be too loose. Whenever I bleed drums I tighten all the wheel cylinders until the shoes are making contact with the drums, then bleed, then back off the adjusters a few clicks until they just barely...

      The pictures you posted show a tube style spare tire carrier. That in itself helps a bunch with rattles against the barn doors. Another think I did to cut down on the rattles and wear is wrap electrical tape around the latch. Good weatherstriping...
