well today was a rainy day, so i cleaned up some in the shed and started to get the differential peices cleaned and prep , as of yet i dont have all the parts i need since some bearing are in rough shape and some of the spacer where ruff too, but i did get a lot of stuff clean and it is getting there slowly but surely, unfortunatly i will have to fiddle around with my ton truck since my slave cinlinder seem to bet on it way out, so i will have to fi my daily driver before i get more progress on the m-truck...lol, otherwise i am stuck driving her car!....not an option...lol
anyhow here are the pictures of the day, enjoy! races in rough shape, note how pitted they are  some clean diferential parts!  and the search for good part begins  and one spare set of gear, should i oil them and wath should i wrap them in to preserve them?  paul in beresford

Do you have CRC products there? They have in a green can "Soft Seal" It will work very well for many years. You have to use a solvent to get it off.
Enjoying your thread. Cheers, Lynn.

You're doing a great job on the truck Paul.
 My son and I just bought a 1951 and a 53. We live in Nova Scotia. The 1953 we are hoping to restore over the next two years. It still runs and drives, but is in desperate need of a body off restoration like you're doing. Here's the 53 we are planning to restore. Thanks for the great photos you've posted.  Al

Thanks for the info offer Paul. I will stay in contact. I have to go look at another parts collection this weekend. Hopefully I'll find some good stuff!
That compressor is going to work well for you Paul. You'll have plenty of air now. I had one like it before I bought my bigger one I have in the garage now. It would keep up with my pressure fed sandblaster as long as I was using a 3/32" nozzle and "OO" sand. When I used a 1/8" nozzle and "0" sand it ran hard and I had to let it catch up sometimes once the 1/8" nozzle wore out a bit. Happy blasting! Al
