Post some pics as you go! May not be a lot of replies in here but I assure there are MANY people quietly reading.
On the car side of things: England changed to metric in the Early 70's States started converting late 70s, was mostly metric early 80s. As sub-assemblies where redesigned/upgraded the metric conversion happened.
My "new" suspension when I picked it up from a farm down on the BC coast last summer. AG100, 40k rears, Holland 5th wheel on air slides. Even included the driveshaft to the front diff. Guy even threw in a pair of KW fuel tank brackets so I can put dual tanks on it.
Those fuel tank holders are expensive!!! I wanted to replace mine at one point until I found out how much.
nice looking rear ends, and nice haul. def cant wait too see her come back from the dead and looking great
I'm thinking we need one of those plastic green house setups and a torpedo heater so we can get this rolling along instead of waiting for spring.
I'm counting down the days already. By next fall I'd like to have a complete, painted, rolling chassis for sure. Possibly repair and primer the cab.
Just too bad the housings are finished. They looked alright until I took the steam cleaner to them. Housings have a couple holes in the back. Was thinking about getting the rear covers off my old SSHD's welded on but I think I'm better off finding a set of SSHD housings and swap internals. The whole shebang was less than a grand so I still think I did ok, considering I got a sliding 5th wheel, good crossmembers and a complete suspension.
