I was surprised to find out several years ago that anvils have such a following. A buddy of mine brought another fellow over to my shop to see a couple of trucks under construction, and immediately spied my old (and badly chipped) anvil. Didn't even comment on my projects!

Congrats Bob!

Very nice Dutch. I wondered the same thing about moving it!

Looks great BH. Thanks for posting all those pictures!

Here's the video that I thought was reliable......at least as reliable as anything WWW these days! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohR5rcuYPr0

I usually have several projects on the go at once, and TRY to keep ahead of myself on parts orders so that there's little waiting. TRY being the operative word....lol. There's almost ALWAYS something I overlook or forget!

Well done MM. I have a drawe full of awful looking homemade tools, bent wrenches, box ends with rods welded to them, etc. I smile everytime I look in there, then think I should scrap them but can't bring myself to!

Sorry to hear that ZZ. There's been all kinds of stories online about cam/lifter problems recently. I'll see if I can attach some of the better links when I get a chance. The most plausible theory I've seen is that even with break in lube, today's oils have so much detergent in them that...

You sure can make stuff happen ZZ! I feel pretty lazy watching what you can accomplish.

Welcome to the site. Great people here, lots of knowledge and support.

Welcome to the site CC. As suggested, please show us more pictures of your truck.

Just my opinion, but as long as it's clearing you should be good. I assume it's the outer part of the caliper that made contact with the rim? Also assuming your pads are new, so as they wear the caliper is going to move away from the rim only adding to the clearance. I worked on a 69 Dodge...

Son of a b%^&! I bet that's going to add up. Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

Progress as always MM, looking good. Your "Carribean quick step" made me laugh. I may use that one!

Nice tube work!
