Re: db's 1970 DODGE A108 Sportsman van

All done, back on the road :D I found a local old-skool engineering shop to ream the bushes for me.

Also the caliper fouled the lower shock eyes so I relocated them wi...

New bushes now going in, pressed in the vice with a die turned by my mate John.

It's happening...
Spent most of today stripping off the drums, hubs and trying to shift the kingpins. One wasn't too bad but the left one is proper seized. I've had to take off the axle and have it set up in my press ready to get serious on it's ass.

Add to that no time to properly go over the Belve after the fire repairs, issues with bringing the kids and Dusty desperately needs the disc upgrade and the kingpins ...
