Re: 1967 C30 dump truck

First of all big thank you to Todd. He really knows his stuff and can keep a cool head. We had enough curve balls on Saturday that I think he was ready to call it quits. Thankfully both the dump truck and the parts truck were taking up bays in his shop so he couldn't kick me out.

We had a bad control arm, broken coil spring, brake line that didn't fit and a host of other problems. Each time Todd would work through the problem and find acceptable solutions.
Our problem now is that the power steering brackets don't work, but I am working on that solution.
The truck is on the ground with four wheels. We only have the items that Todd mentions above. With a little luck it will be driving in a week.
