Re: Dumptruck Dolly
After pressing out the last bushing, I put the 2 piece rubber bushings in using liquid soap and let them sit overnight. Otherwise they kept popping out trying to rush the placement of the steel sleeve.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Here I’ve slid and tapped the metal sleeve into the rubber bushings utilizing soap...easy. Now, what is the “G” on one of the leaf springs...a weight or length demarcation? Let me know.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
Finally received my bushings for Dolly and put them in. Leafs are coming together well.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
The sleeves for the leaf packs were rusted like this one shown, so I made some new ones out of extra bushings laying around.

Re: Dumptruck Dolly
After water tubing with the kids and their friends, I only got one thing done today regarding Dolly...here I put the front differential on jack stands, in preparation for cleaning, painting and replacing worn parts. It was a small thing, but it felt good as it begins a new stage in the trucks transformation. Hopefully, more to come soon!
