It is a coating of some kind, it is probably what appears to be there now? I think as long as there are no chips/cracks or peeling, your good to go?

Looks good Paul - well done!

[Lifer]

I agree, Paul. Ya done good, there!

Just a quick question for you, though. Your bio data indicates you live in Beresford, but your signature says you're in Sormany. What's the deal, here? Did the hustle and bustle of the "big city" become so unbearable that you had to move 9.53 miles west of town?

[m-37Bruce]

A thing of beauty, looks real good Paul.

[paul]

thanks every one yes i did move to sormany , i got a deal i could not refuse on a house last fall!

[k8icu]

Paul, you make it look so easy... Your work is great, wonderful, spectacular! I'm also very green with envy because my project is moving slower than dirt and your in comparison looks like it's moving at warp speed... keep up the good work and please keep posting up the pics for all of us.

[m-37Bruce]

I think Paul must enjoy working in the cold? I did spend 3 plus hours out there (w/ the "OD Goddess) yesterday.

[paul]

hehe the stove in the garage can keep the place well over 20 degree celcius, it helps a lot!

today i got the braces for the t-case clean and ready for prime, i hadto redoo a few weld that where inconsistent on them, then i realised i did not have enuf to mix a batch of paint and primer so i got my girlfriend to help me and we shoveled a little to find more parts , so i got the step off the other truck and i found a few brakets and the pedal assembly, ill have to chose te best set of step since one set is rust free but mangled and the other is a bit rusty but mostly straight

aanyhow here are a few pictures


t-case braces


driveshaft


driver side steps


passenger side steps


pedals and brackets

Paul,
I think you may be missing part of your parking brake. I believe there are suposed to be two cams. one on either side of the "J" bolt.

[paul]

ok thanks ill have to get one then , sadly i only have one t-case so it will have to get on the list for next time i go see gustave

[Master Yota]

You could just take your cam off Paul, and make a copy of it, they are a mirror image of each other... Lookin' great though!
