A brief update today for my project. In the last few weeks I've cleaned and painted the firewall and the frame forward of the tranny cross member and permanently mounted the new cross member, installed the new a-arms, springs and all new bearings and brakes. Also have about 90 percent of the new brake system hard lines installed.
Didn't get to the brake bracket yet due to more cleaning and painting needed on the inner side of the firewall, but that should happen soon. I went ahead and stripped out the interior to prep it for new paint. Lots of wire wheeling, and wire brushing and thankfully all cab metal solid. Should be paintable this week.
One interesting thing I found behind the fuel tank when I removed it was this poster with calendar for a eastern California service station. Check out the year on the calendar.
