The gear box is in Indiana, the shocks are in Washington State the fuel cells are in Wisconsin and the suspension parts are in Pittsburgh for plating. Rebuilding the brake calipers. Used a porta-power to remove the pistons, after 30 odd years sitting they weren't ready to fall out. A couple of C clamps and a lot of rags. This setup worked perfect. (the idea came from my A&P)You know your in trouble when the guy who's going to be rebuilding your gearbox calls, and ask if your sitting down. Overall the box was in very good condition, but 30 years without any use has left surface rust on many internal parts. Oh well, I was hoping for better news. The fuel bladders are my next problem. The pickups must be moved off the corners about a 1" or more. That means existing holes in the tub must be modified, still work on this issue. But good news, my Armstrong shocks have been rebuilt and should have them back next week.
