Stepped out Friday got a PS Pump cartridge and ordered seal kit for steer box input, put pump on this morning(been a BUSY weekend) returned the core, picked up the input seals and a length of return line hose to finish this.
Should be down to Gas feed lines electric pump and welding in bed floor tomorrow afternoon.

Your moving right alone with that project. You will have the shop cleared out ready for the next one.

Trying anyway!!
Square tube in floor is for another shelf set in basement to compliment the bar build, these for a Entertainment shelf and small wall curio. That will be next up with removal of the cab steps on my rusting away Ford. Also have dirt at the garden plot to dig out(Full of rocks and refill with field dirt(NO Rocks) once dump truck usable. Then Fat Allis has to go dig out manure at the feed lot to separate the rock from the manure to spread it out.

dang my 70 series has air brakes and 16" s cam , the other one i bought for parts were 15" air brakes .
Son used the front axle from that parts truck for drop axle on a Quad axle conversion from tri axle , then one brake went bad - parts to fix it are made from unobtainium - no one carries parts of the old GM 12,000 axle any more nor do junk yards keep them Edited by Coke-in-MN - 16 Sep 2020 at 12:04pm |

Juice brakes with any age are No Bueno, instant source for leaks and losses.
Got the P/S fixed up as of today so far NO Leaks, dragged gas tank out on mounts and swapped to a used standpipe I had in a box, mechanical pump was OK so all back to normal and does run. Moved on to the bed floor or lack thereof, got the full size sheet I had cut to length and sewed down, got some of the side filler panels cut have three more to hack out then will sew them on TOMORROW. Are next to NO air brake 70s around here that are not tandem and most of those sitting it out on farms dead to the world. Edited by DMiller - 16 Sep 2020 at 5:39pm |

I'm curious, How do you pick rocks out of manure, or should I say, how do you find them?

Have you considered screening the rocks out of what they eat? As a pre emp tive measure....

LARGE Rocks are in the feed lot, old buried building foundations that during wet then freeze thrust UP and into the manure, hard to spread when loaded with rocks the size of Boot Boxes and small Pets, tends to break things. No need to screen their feed as they do NOT eat rocks just poop on them.

Got the bed 'Holes' closed up, skinned over, hauled three loads until got hung on wet grass and could not move the dump truck. Hike back to Allis, trek to truck, pull out then leap frog the two until back up to house. Did get a stockpile of cull dirt from where garden will sit(Full of rock from tennis ball to platter size), once cleared of rubble from excavation fill then will recover clean fill from the fields and refill the garden Hole.

Had a old ford Tandem that floor was real beat up from rock hauling but no holes in it , laid out a layer of sand on floor then laid plate on top and welded it down - gave me a smooth floor so material would slide out rather than stick on dents.
On my 14' box on my White Tandem dump I had access to a 4' brake and made plates for sides to floor angles , then welded down floor plates . The Tandem GMC 70 was a old Dept of Natural Resources truck and they laid a heavy plate on box floor so it stayed in good shape no matter what drops on it . |
