Thanks Guys!
It is official. We have started on it. Pushed it into the shop on Sunday. Took 5 of us with the front brakes dragging.
First task was to grease all of the front end. There are at least 22 grease zerks on the front of this beast. All of them had rock hard grease to be picked thru. Jake persevered. It turns much better and better yet seems tight.
Next was removing of the front tires and all of the front drum brake assemblies. Just a spindle and knee are showing. Removed the drums from the spindles (riveted together). Getting hubs ready to mount much newer parts house rotors on. Will be making our own brackets to hold calipers.
Removed the rusty exhaust to just clear the way.
Pulled the factory master cylinder and will fit up a dual reservoir unit next.
Picked up a used rear bumper from a 53 -56 ford pickup at a swapmeet on Sat. It will get mounted.
Jake had to get some thin shop overalls. Mom does not like so much grease rubbed on his pants. Got to teach him to use rags.
