Good luck with the kit, it is straight forward, but Any problems, let me know or any questions, I will gladly advise accordingly.

I Will be watching this thread with even more interest now

#169 by Antonio , Sun Aug 09, 2015 8:01 pm

New shoes now on at back but one of the cylinders is seized on one side, will get them changed before Friday. All I have is to do oil/filter change then ready for national meet Saturday 😊.

After the news on the chassis was not sure what to do....my MOT tester has marked out what needs doing ( the dreaded yellow chalk) and its only in two spots.
After a chat with Mrs T ......expressing her support if want to go ahead and try repair the truck I have started to buy some proper kit for welding
1st new arrival today

This is what happened when I was checking chassis just before the lakes event 😞 (at the back just before leaf spring hangers) so need to cut out and refabicate around chassis. Will be looking at alternative suspension systems too.

Yep, should have bought a workshop before the rust bucket mate...but just see it as a chance to mod without losing anything, then it's just a toy and don't need it as my daily drive only use it when I'm at home/weekends

#175 by Antonio , Sun Feb 28, 2016 6:53 am

Well.....not done any work on trucks for 4 months now. The rust bucket is parked up needs welding but my car decided to pack up yesterday morning, think it's injectors.....not a cheap fix.....sooooo.....
I've booked the truck in for MOT tomorrow at 1:30pm hope weather is dry today, I will just patch up to get through and clean brakes up.
