Replaced shackle pins, spring bushes and U bolts on the rear of Thomas my 1954 86".
Been too damned cold to work on a concrete floor under a carport lately.
But, I did finally clean out the shed and now have room to build the new bits so I can finish the engine\gearbox\t-case installation.
i got mine looking like this :p

and on tuesday young Madge was successfully put on historic registration
and to celebrate i fitted rocky mountain door tops...
boy oh boy are they excellent value!
Very nice Dave!
Looks good Dave!
What type of rims are they?
Cheers, Mick.
standard centers with the offset altered to get the best width still under guard... reversed rims they used to call them i think.
cant remember the offset as it was 10 years ago :p
but am about to get them redone in tubeless or get some wolf tubeless rims.
makes the old girl a lot more stable...
Not done too much, started to blast the rear tub, and a few bits on the cab..

Hey Juddy, good work ol' chap.
What paint did you use on the chassis? Is it an industrial paint?
