decided that the bumper was more fun today. so started reassembly!!

had to grind down most of the galvanize on the spindles for the bearings to fit over. should be ok because it’ll be sealed and full of grease.

i had to find a 3/4 fine thread die to chase the spindle threads as they were full of zinc. i couldn’t for the life of me get the die to start using the correct side but when i flipped it upside down it worked perfectly. go figure!!

so i’ve noticed that the 1hdt has been pretty smokey since the rebuild. with my dash apart and my focus on getting this bumper done i had my boost gauge off and was just running it assuming it was just the fuel
needing adjustment. it has been more sluggish though than i remember. well i hooked up my gauge again and the best i could boost was 10psi. so i started checking pipes and sure enough two clamps weren’t tight. caused a 10 psi leak. now i’m not rolling coal and it have some snap back in this thing

always glad when it’s a simple win!!
