been a while- trucks all done, really happy with how it turned out... for a little video of it, go on youtube and search 'saving a old clark' should be the first one to pop up.
thanks again Tom_P for the tip on the lift valve spool, better than its ever been :)
did try one other stupid mod- 3" stainless screws as tire studs, the thing couldnt even be moved on snow...will see how they hold up once the snow is gone...expect them to be a little 'clicky' on dry cement, just hoping they dont tend to unscrew, dont think they will...
