    @AModelCat found a blue buffalo sitting in a field, he is rebuilding. Once upon a time, long long ago, that old girl was mine. They do exist, some have a ##### under the hood making them really great.
    I've got a bunch, but not letting them go.

    Yeah I gotta get back on that project. Probably going to put the cab in the garage over winter and start piecing it back together.

    That rubber block was the first thing that got torched off the thing. I'd sooner drive with axles bolted solid to the frame than have walking beam anything lol.
     
    MartinFromBC and SL3406 Thank this.

    I know the rubber block walking beam is always considered rough riding but I really don’t find them to be that bad especially with longish trucks. It’s no air ride though

    I still drive them sometimes, if not on a washboard trail into the bush they are not bad.
    I actually find the clutch worst of all now, my knees are shot. Getting into and out of the truck now feels like climbing K2.
