Well, my wedding was last weekend, so after a half week of work and running around taking care of various stuff, I finally had a chance to mess with the 521 this afternoon.
Before I go any further I've got a few questions.
1. for the spare tire mount (under bed). Does the chain just roll out if you turn down to far. My chain mechanism is missing, and if it's easy enough to roll another one in, and somebody's got one they want to sell me let me know!!!
2. The jack handle the mounts/ hangs behind the seat. Mines missing! If it's just round stock with a few bends, and if someone can get me dimensions I'll make my own. If it's more complex than that (a picture would be great), I'd be more that happy to buy one if somebodies got one up for sale! I was cleaning up the jack this afternoon and having all that crap in there, as close to correct (OG) as stock would be worth the trouble for me.
3. I've got what I think is a stock tire iron/ cross, with a hubcap spoon on one side. If this was oem equipment, how did they secure it (I'm guessing somewhere behind the seat). And If what I've got isn't correct..... I'm looking for that also!
with that aside I've piled more on the to do list while I wasn't able to work on the truck. I just got the jute backing glued in today and will be stretching/ forming cut pile auto carpet into the cab in the next few days/ week. I need to make door and kick panels. I decided to clean up and polish the sill plates (steel wool). And a friend gave me quite a few sheets of Kilmat and I'm doing the insides of the doors to make the ol' truck a little more luxurious. 😂
