Re: HG's Bigass Farm Truck
Got it painted. I used rattle can lacquer because it says it has an ultra hard finish. We'll see.
Can't wait to mount it along with the new hitch.
The last part of the drivetrain that needs attention is the rear axle. During coast down it whines. Bad. Been told it's the pinion bearing. I'm happy with the 4.10 gear ratio. Rather than just fixing what I got I started looking for a newer axle with disc brakes. There's a bunch of 2500HD axles out there with the same gears, full float 14 bolts with limited slip. Stopped by Sidco in Glencoe today and he has them in stock for $350. So I'm bringing the truck there next week to get it swapped in. The spring perches need to be moved. I need to order an adjustable proportioning valve.
