Started on the brake job yesterday afternoon. No major issues so far and I am amazed that we only had to heat up 2 of the adjusting cams to get them to come loose. All of the other nuts and bolts came right out! earl1 by Rick Jones, on Flickr

You're not going to have the lift tied up with that thing very long are you? I might need it to put my truck back together....

Got T-boned last weekend.........started just behind the drivers door, bashed in the bed, snapped the leaf spring when he hit the tire. 22 yr old uninsured little puke. Told him to get the fuck back in his car when he told me he didn't have insurance...

I'd sue the little shit. He can pay you back so much a month for the rest of his stupid life!

I haven't made much progress in old Earl lately but we do have the brakes all done so, it actually does stop now. Did a little work on the box floor and picked up a gas tank and bought wiring for it. This will make it easier for javtwotone to wire it when I am ready. willysfloor1 by Rick Jones, on Flickr

I like the idea of a fabricated box. Where did you get the bed floor?

Craigslist for $50.00. Ironically, the guy owns a Willys Pickup with a 401 and a Wagon. He told me about the place in the woods where I bought the pattern for the box.

So, I'm guessing that 800 bux you made selling junk to make some room is gone AND you brought home more junk.....

Wrong guess. I brought home a right front fender for my 68 AMX, the gas tank, and that was about it.

The 56 Jeep sold for 500 with a bunch of new parts. I should have picked it up.
