Cleaned up the threads on the zerk fitting itself while it was off.
All the hardware cleaned. One thing I didn't get, those bolts on the top row seemed to have brass heads and threads. I was really careful when dealing with them, but it didn't make sense. Does anyone know why they look that way?
I don't think they're brass, but bronze. They look great cleaned up.
Jared: Those look great!!!! Mine, the metal was more than half gone and it cost big $$ at VPW for new ones. Your spring/shackles look new. Either that truck had low miles, or somebody took great care of it.
Please, do not forget your gaskets tomorrow! And Paula says please do not forget to bring your Dad,.
OK going to post some photos of our transfer case progress, although we still aren't finished. Had a couple of snags here and there, but I think one more weekend we got it!
Started by coating the inside with Glyptol to seal it.
It look REALLY good, although we shall see how well it actually works.
I had to throw a pic of this in the mix! This is Wayne's truck, a real beauty. Essentially our trucks are identical but with different bodies. It's good to have a template to refer to. We were constantly crawling under his truck to look at the way it was set up!
The second side Wayne got smart and put the gear in the freezer. Once the bearing was in the toaster oven for a bit, the two slid together pretty easy, no press needed.
New gaskets all ready to go.
Got the idler gear installed first. Putting on the end cap. At first I was a little confused which way it went, but after looking at the marks, it became pretty clear.

Why is it that the inside of old truck cabs smell so good?
