Coil Buckets such fun
This truck has 220k or so and it carried a plow in its younger days.. So there has been some rust and I decided I wanted to replace the coil buckets.I also have a new core support I will do some day but the buckets should get it through inspection.
The parts on the passenger side are all out and it is ready to clean the frame and maybe a little paint, the new bucket for this side is the one with the black paint.
There are 6 of these rivets to drill/ grind out...wish I was better with torch..but I don't trust myself with it in places like this.
Here is a better picture of the rail where it is attached.
