Mcneeley Update 9-2-13, Painting Underway

[Olddaddy]

I dropped the bed and doors off at the painters last week and he has been busy making them very red.  I welded in a patch piece to the rear of the cab and will deliver the truck next weekend after a few more mechanical repairs.  The big one is to rebuild the steering box.  A careful inspection after tearing it down revealed a worn our worm, but everything else within usable specs.  I was incredibly lucky to talk with Hank Spielberg who educated me a bit on these boxes.  He also located an nos worm/tube at Bernbaum's and in a few day it will arrive here.  Once the box is back in we can test out the steering and new disc brakes.  Then it's off to the painters shop!
