Jerad tore down the engine sometime late February early March. He discoverd the engine did not have babbit bearings. He was pleased! Here are some pictures.

Frame getting a prime of paint!
Jerad has almost tackled the entire frame. It has taken several days, but he has sandblasted, sanded, wirebrushed and gotten the frame cleaned up and primed. There are still a few spots that need sanded down, but has knocked out most of all the clean up on the frame itself. He brought home some black paint tonight to get ready to paint the frame. It seems like the work isn't going as fast right now, but believe it or not he has actually worked more on it as of late. He is constantly researching on parts and pieces and "how to's". He and his little helper have spent many hours out in the garge. For the first time this last week his little helper was gone with Nana for a few days and he dearly missed her presence while he was working. Here are a few pics of the frame with some primer on!

Some work on the cab
Jerad spent last Sunday working on the windows in the cab of the truck. He said the curved windows on the side actually came out easier than the other windows. We only have two windows that are broken. I'm hoping we can salvaged them, but we can't tell what kind of shape they are in until we clean them up.
Cleaning up the frame!
Now that the engine and transmission are off the frame Jerad & Bob are working on cleaning up the frame. First line of business was a good ole' power washing. It knocked alot of the junk off the frame. Then Jerad began blasting the frame with some sort of sand blaster. Doesn't he look cute in his face shield and protective jacket?
