Little progress

Hey

Not much work on the M2 currently.
The reason is this:

Manufacture of cargo body for the GMC 352, a lot of sweat to the correct assembly

Hey

new parts arrived, wheels and rear propeller shaft

All wheels manufacturer by Goodrich but one manufacturing FIRESTONE (see photos)
both are fabrications of war or only FIRESTONE?

Next operation, the return of the frame at home (650 miles)

the facelift rear axle to begin.

First surprise no oil in the bridge, just water.

from the inside was lucky to stay oiling.

the differential is not rusted and not broken,

the dismantling of other items were done easily.

start cleaning

I've never seen front spring brackets like that. Also the early spring stop is still in place behind the right front rear spring mount. Looking forward to watching your progress.
