I will fly home tomorrow and can take pictures and measurements of the shims for the front axle. I have my front axle off for repairs.

I am home now, so did you already make them or do you still need the measurements? As far as the nuts and bolts you need , come up with  a list and I am willing to help you get what you need.
Thanks, Jeff

Ok here are a few pictures I took. I had to retake them all with my phone, my home computer modem went  out. If there is any other measurements you need let me know. Sorry for the long delay.

WOW, very nice work!!! It's looking like something again. It's always nice when you are putting stuff back together again. Keep up the good work Prestone.

Thank you for the compliments,

The paint standardizes and allows to see all the small details, it is really nice to see the chassis in this state.
Compared to the CCKW GMC, it is precisely to find all the smallest accessories the most difficult and yet that is all the difference.

Exactly, it's time to return it, maybe this weekend

You have LOT of luck in the states, you have plenty of halftrack parts, here everything has been scrapped.

When I look at the parts available in sales in the United States, it makes you want to buy, unfortunately the transport costs stopped immediately envy.

Today was the great day.
The halftrack turns to be again and definitely in the right direction.





And then, work can continue
