I was just about to start cutting shackle bolts on the truck when I got a work call so I threw it all back together, lucky timing.
Nice morning for a drive up towards Boston Bar to fix up a split idler pocket on Buncher. Relatively straight forward repair with a little bush CAD fabrication to cut out a doubler plate. The plate was 400 and the car body was definitely more than mild steel so I welded it out with 9018 for a tougher more crack resistant weld, especially in colder weather.
