PAUL'S 54 RESTORE !!

(1/2) > >>

the old trucker:

   Well, Well..... you go & tell a fellow about a couple of bombers that he can get & restore & what do he do ?? Him & his brother (Mike) goes right ahead & starts stripping them apart & don't tell anyone about it... especially me... The Old Trucker !!
   Then they expect me to give them answers to questions or find out the answers for them. I'll have to give them a break I guess... seeing their still wet behind the ears yet.
     Most of the boogies came off the first one except the adjusters. One sprocket almost fell off when taking it apart due to the tapered spindle & the straight shaft in the sprocket. But the other one is stuck on like Mike's was.
   Here's the first question. Is there any certain or easy way to get the tapered sprocket shaft off the tapered shaft on the side axle ?? On Mike's he had to take the side axle out & have the sprocket pressed off.  It is the heavy duty diff like you see in Mike's pics.
     

the old trucker:

Here is his bomber at the start. The one with the grey paint on the sides & pinkish on the nose. The body is fairly straight on it.

    The one with the grey paint is the one he is going to restore.

the old trucker:

   Paul has the same trouble as his brother Mike, finding time to get at their bombers. He has alot of the rusted floor & lower body sections cut off. I'll have to get a newer update from him, along with a few new pics.
