    It’s been darn cold here so haven’t been able to work 2 much outside but have been collecting lots of parts for when it does warm up. Have to do brakes, seals and air bags and sand blast the frame for paint next...

    What's the big silver tank on the top left corner of the engine?

    Ha I wish - no chance on resto being complete but will shoot to have it roadworthy by then at least. What about your KW?

    Buried under 3' of snow. I'm hoping to get steer axle brakes and budds on the steer axle, yank the engine and overhaul it this year. Hopefully get the cab fixed and primered too this summer.

    Very nice. Luckily the outer lug nuts came off, I remember when they would stick to the inner square end part and push the studs out the inside. Not much fun!
