From Frame up #4...We Gotta Roller

[Dusty]

Hello again,
I figured before I tried the Cab on the frame, and welded in the frame mounts, It might be a good idea to set the motor and transmission in to make sure I had distributor/firewall clearance.  The rearend had to be completely rebuilt.  New bearings all the way around.  I redid the carrier and pinion bearings and reset the lash and pre-load...Everything came out with the right indications on the gear mesh.  I've done a few of these over the years, but it's been a while.  So with that I added the tires, and dropped in the engine, and rolled it outside.  It's a good feeling when you finally have a "Roller".  If you will notice in the picture, the rear transmission cross member, is "Wolmanized",  It will never rust out...or Rot.

Looks really good.  

I worked on some parts for the "Super Stude"  the "Just Glad to be Here" today.  I have a lot to do.

You had better pick up the pace there Dusty! If you dont, youll end up getting it running in no time at all............ and will never beat my record of getting one running every 5 or 6 or so years! HeHe.
