Hansen's build thread

[cmann250]

Oh, that's a farrowing house. It looks like the trucks are on packed dirt that used to be a pit. That's a dang good idea. I'll be proposing that idea at work

[Hansen01]

Haha yup, until we get concrete it really aint all that bad

[RumbleFish]

Id give anything for a shop i can fit my truck into. Hog barn or otherwise!

You and me both.

[PToombs]

So if you guys had a hog barn you'd happy as pigs in siht?

[RumbleFish]

It depends on how many pigs were in it

[dazedandconfused]

Well we converted the tobacco barn at dads to a decent shop. I would be happy with that here.

[Hansen01]

There aint no pigs in it anymore and it doesnt even smell like it!

[Hansen01]

Accomplishment for tonight= not much but its somethin
Also got the grill all shined up, looks good enough to use on mine when i get it put back together

[Hansen01]

Well I made a steering wheel tonight that i think everyone will be proud of
Itl work to hopefully get it out of the shed tomorrow so i can get the cab and box off
Also how exactly do you get the pedals out of the truck so i can put them in the donor cab? I took the bolt out and started to pry the shaft out but then it seemed to get caught on somethin. Pry harder? Or am i missing somethin

[bmoeller]

At least on an auto cab, all you do is remove that bolt, and slide it out. May need to twist it back and forth as you pull. The grease has dirt in it from time, so the shaft seems to be gummed up and moves kinda hard (even with the poly bushings).

[Hansen01]

Ok il keep pulling then, Wasnt sure if i was missing somethi. Thanks

[Hansen01]

Bmoeller Would you happen to know where to get those bushings? i finally got that rod out and the bushings came out in pieces

PROGRESS! hes all naked, And it does not appear that the frame is bent anywhere except right up front where the bumper attaches( where it has always been bent, its just a tad worse now)

[Hansen01]

Anyone know if the 2wd cab will fit over the nv5600 without raising the tunnel? I think it will, but thought maybe someone here has seen it done.

[dazedandconfused]

Have you measured the two? I know Mark can tell you since ive seen him post about it before
