Looking good, did you measure the PCD wheel stud spacing in the end?

Nice looking motor Chris, I'm glad I've played a part in returning it to the road :thumbup:

So thats where it was born ! Lord knows whats happened to it over the years . It certainly has had the tinworm . But all patched up and once roadworthy once again will have a few more years left to go .

While im stalled on the red pickup . Had a couple of hours on the blue one today . Im awaiting a freshly painted dash which once fitted means the new headlining can be fitted and screens replaced with their new rubbers . New door rubbers as well . So didn't want the rest of the cab looking dowdy . So good rub down and some fresh paint inside the cab . A few days to harden nicely before any more sudden bursts though !

Chris, did you take the prop to Bailey Morris or end up doing it yourself?

The one you supplied I fitted a new centrebearing from BM myself and fitted it . This one is the one from Josh which needs a centre bearing . I obviously need the car one as im fitting the non banjo axle .
