The tires and wheels are back on the truck. For the first time a spare tire is mounted to the hood although probably a wider tire than would be desired. A spare tire also still resides behind the front seat. At this point the brakes need to be bled but it has been discovered that three of the bleed screws are broken off.

A set of new canvas axle straps. Interesting they are not the same length as the rear end housing has more support on one side.

A new set of BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2 tires and a full set of sandblasted and painted 16″ wheels.

Inside of the front left drum had become filled with oil and brake dust that had the consistency of axle grease. One of the springs for the rear shoe is also missing. Time to take it all apart and clean it up.
