Rebuild of AT4114

Thanks trucksyd looking forward to getting paint on the rear end cheers Bryant

Just a quick up date the shackel pins arrived but they were not the correct style :'( so I'm having them made $65 each hopefully will have the dodge back on wheels soon had a new set of U bolts made at Canberra truck align top people to deal with so this Saturday I started to paint up the rims for the dodge I'm not running at4 rims I've decided to run 16inch D5N split rims as I think the hubcaps are nicer looking than the small AT4 ones cheers Bryant

Good work, when you are scuffing back a chassis you are thankful for a short wheelbase truck, my next one has 24ft of rail behind the cab, you don't want to rub it back for me do you?

Hey dodge600 mate just scuffing the little dodges rails was a dirty crappy job but 24ft mate BIG JOB mate I'd love to help but I've got to get my hair done lol cheers mate

AT4114, is that a red oxide primer you're using on the rims? Is that straight over the scrub/brush/sand prep or did you do a rust converter as well?

Hey Bugly with the wheels I stripped them back with a cup wire brush on a 4 inch angle used rust converter then buffed it off again then used red oxide primer and a top coat of acrylic silver they came out looking nice I'm very happy with them cheers Bryant

Thanks Bryant, I'll use that strategy as well on the Dennis and the Fordson pickup.

Made some progress today primed up the rear chassis rails this now means all the rear end components are primed ready for a coat of satin black fingers crossed will paint color next weekend just a quick question if anybody knows would a D5N 200 diff bolt up as my old AT4 handbrake setup is on the rear of the manual gearbox and the D5N unit runs a handbrake setup on the diff as I want to run a 318 auto .The diff I'm looking at is out of an ambulance would it have a high ratio diff ??? cheers Bryant

Hi Bryant, trucks looking good,nice work. Give Colin a call about parts,he should be able to help you.
Slightly off topic,-I can't believe the number of photos on this site with Valiants in the background. Just how many Chrysler people are on here?

Cheers Bruce---clute---cl-ute.

Hi Bruce I think your on to something I have also noticed the amount of chrysler/ valiant cars in the background of our fellow truck enthusiasts not that I'm a sticky beak Thanks for the comments on the old dodge and yes I will be annoying Collin for a few bits for the old girl cheers Bryant
