Still working on the drum situation. I actually got another pair of rear wide 5 drums that had a larger inside diameter than my present set and they would not go into n, so I am going to cut one if the drums for expediency sake. I do not want to make this my life's work. I have too many other projects to get to ....

Speaking of projects, I am going to go off-topic here to my 40 Pickup project that was in the works before the 32 5-window that I am presently working on. Anyway, I have a bed that is in pretty good shape for my purposes save for the lower 6" of the passenger side on this bed. I looked n vain for the section I needed. A new bedside is expensive and way too "nice" for the rest of the bed. So, I decided to make what I need.

Using the driver side, I made a pattern of the area over the rear axle. From the lower back lip of that area I need only 8" going back before finding good metal. Going forward I need right up to the back panel of the bed, 25.5". So, got started today with my pattern and so far, so good. It will be in two pieces and to be truthful, I have done the easy stuff up to now .... Thanks to Dave at House of Fab for giving me a hand and using some of his equipment. ..
