I put a few of them in 3/4 tons back in the late 80's/early 90's,mostly behind 727's,they work good as you can split the gears with them

Funny that you mentioned GEAR VENDORS

Their shop is right at 2 miles from my place, as the Crow flies


There is a municipal Airport almost directly across the street from them.
The Planes when Landing, normally fly between their building & the hill seen just above the building

Time to get the powerjoke outta here.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Found an old school winch in the metal scrap pile.

This will look awesome in the front of the 61

My buddy just gave me a 1960 R190. The same gentlemen that I got the 61 from. He forgot he had this in a friend's field. And thought this cab is way cooler for the diesel build.

So he pulled it 15km backwards to his place down rural Alberta roads and I got to drive his power wagon

Fixing brake lines today on a Fargo.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Best part of fixing cool old trucks, is the test drive once done to double check your work.

Love this thing, It has a great anti theft device. The good old 3 on the tree .

 

[DILLIGAF]

I swear I'm in the best province for vehicle registrations

Registered and insured. Even used my plate from the 53

 

[DILLIGAF]

Had to order a couple parts. But it's in pretty good shape for its age.

 

[DILLIGAF]

my buddy just finished drawing the front marker lights lenses. Will 3D print in clear resin.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Just spent 4 hours cutting off the factory body mounts and cut out the entire front end cross member .

All ready for sandblasting .

Also ordered this stuff to rebuild that sexy factory steering wheel

 

[DILLIGAF]

My buddies plasma table just showed up.

This will make my life a hell of a lot easier to build my parts.

Its the newer version of the one I used to run on base.

 

[DILLIGAF]

One more thing off the list.



Got started on die grinding the cracks and sanding the steering wheel.
