    Most of the time the tabs do break off, that's why I started making replacement spring keepers""" at least you were able to save yours,

    I like the way the bracket turned out with the new spring. I have the other spring so I think I will do the other side. I would like one of your brackets. Sent you a PM

    Thanks Byron

    Not sure if I would go with pita's advice at all. He must have got lucky, not to many are come right off. I would say using his advice you be needing excusions as you bend the crap out of the slamming a hammer to the shaft. Right way and a wrong way trust me!! 

     

    I got lucky as there was no damage to the shaft or the echelons. It did push out the dimples in the sleeve but I think I can push it back on and re-dimple  it with a punch. I did find a drivers door handle so when it gets here I will send to the chromer.

  3. Thanks, I got the collar below that off and the mounting plate came right off. I will not have to do what you are showing. I do have another question: Can you get the lock re-keyed or do I need to find a new lock?

  4. I used a couple pieces of wood under each side of the echelon and tapped the end of the shaft with a hammer. The sleeve came right off and I think I will be able to reuse it. I may need a new spring. Will try to find a drivers door handle and then I will send them to the chromer.

  5. How do you get the ring off so that the mounting plate can be taken off. It appears someone tried to pry this off and damaged the plate. I would like to repair this but need it off. Thanks for any help. I would be interested in finding a pair for my truck.

  7. I bought this truck from a friend in the late 90's. The story he told was that a family from Mass. loaded all their property on the truck and was headed to Califorina during the depression. Near Maxwell, NE the engine blow up and they sold all their stuff that they could not carry. They sold the truck to a local family and took the bus or train to Califorina. The truck was parked and as far as we know it was never fixed. My friend never got around to restoring it and sold it to me. I do plan to start restoring it after I get a car done.

    This is the only picture that I have as it is setting in the back of my pole barn. Some day soon I hope to get started.
