Here she is backed in the shed after feeding alfalfa, jocco. Those poor front fenders took a beating over the years feeding cattle silage without a front bumper. They are going to be a big body work challenge. I refuse to replace them with cheap aftermarket ones, though. Now that all mechanicals are back to spec I'm going to work on the cab and doors. The back support piece is cracked causing the back of the cab to sag. The doors and hood fit funny because of it. I've got 80 years of daily use to slowly rectify while I continue choring with it. Used her tonight to feed. She's a good old girl
Roger you asked about tires for the old truck. It had three options when new - 6.00/20, 6.50/20, or 7.00/20. I think I will go 6.00/20 for the front and 6.50/20 for the rear duals. Right now it has a mix and match but the majority are old 7.00/20 military surplus. I think they are too big. The combination I'm going to try for seemed to be the one most often used as far as I can tell.
