Most interestin'.

Did ya let Zack go home or is he still standin' there holdin' the tire?

 

[kling-on]

you should weld the hatch back on for the rear not use plexi

 

[Texican]

A bit more progress.....

 

[KOWBOY]

Mount the bulldozer blade back on the front.

 

[Fireman]

Hey that's what I was going to do. When are you going to get the gears set up?

 

[JCB ELWOOD]

The bulldozer blade is goin on the wall of the shop, which construction commenced on yesterday. The gears will be later when all the suspension is fabbed. Got the bushing and shackle fabbed for the left side today. Josh

 

[KOWBOY]

Cut some more sheetmetal now sir.

 

[JCB ELWOOD]

Got the front axle mocked up under it, to make the pinion set where it needs to be the whole mess sets 2 7/8'' to the left. This makes the RH wheel look real good in the fender, but the LH looks stupid What to do?? After lots of deep thought and heavy drankin I'm gonna cut 2 7/8'' out between the spring pad and knuckle on the left side then sleeve it and weld it back together this weekend anyway if Nolan reads this, I may need some sort o calming pills or somthin before I go to hackin on my axle Josh

 

[JCB ELWOOD]

Couplea more. One of em really shows the 2 1/2" the axle sits forward. Josh

Why not just outboard the springs? Save having to have an axle shortened and then not have a spare.

 

[KOWBOY]

Gawd knows I ain't much on the technical aspects of this hobby ....

but it seems to me the only solution at this point is to throw out the one-ton stuff and go with Rockwells.

That would move the pinion over under the frame rail on the right side. Plan is to have both the chrom-moly and the stocker shortened so I will have a spare. Talked to Harold today, he can machine the dually hubs down so I wont have to buy the single wheel stuff Josh
