The Bag and steering wheel
Tony, the bag is probably a little fragile to be making major alterations to it.
Last night I started stripping the hinges off the doors, and fixing them up. One of the hinges is broken, but I got the important bit from Ross Prince and now need to pull out the pin to fix it.... any suggestions on how this is done? Today was a rest day, so I sand blasted the steering wheel and gave the metal work a undercoat. Having lots of fun with this.

No I've never tackled door hinge problems Tony, no doubt that pleasure awaits me.

Back at it.
I had a chest infection the last couple of weeks, which certainly slowed me down... But I did send the generator, regulator and starter motor off to the local auto elec for a service.. (whose uncle had a blitz)
restore 10.jpg Here is a shot of the generator about to go back together and the starter motor waiting its turn. Today my son dragged me outside to work on the Truck and thanks to some helpful advice from Euan, I was able to finish getting the Cab off without further problems. restore 11.jpg Looks like the motor is next.

Started on the engine
My son had a mate over today and they wouldn't leave my old truck alone... after removing the fuel pump, they decided to remove the rocker cover – then called me. I decided to keep going since they had started... looks like 2 broken rocker arms and a bent rod so far.
restore 12.jpg restore 13.jpg restore 14.jpg Since I am new to this pulling apart engine stuff, I was a bit horrified when I initially saw the pistons. But a lot of compressed air and WD40 seem to make a big difference. The 4 centre pistons now move freely but the end ones only have about 10mm of movement. (Is this a major problem?) restore 15.jpg We kept at it till dark and I am happy so far with the results. Does anyone know where to get rocker arms and rods? Do I just replace the broken ones or do I need more?
