Maybe it'll work now...

Tried posting this before but went back and checked and it was no where to be seen... Stupid computers anyway. This week I rebuilt the purge valve on a Wabco air dryer. Seemed like there must be a simpler way to make it work (Less moving parts would be good I think). Also picked up a side job mounting a flatbed on one of Knutzen Farm's trucks. Smiley's quoted around $40,000 to build a flatbed so they bought a truck with a flatbed on it for $10,000 and I'm doing the fab/mods to make it work on the new truck. Got the hinge laid out and welded in after deciding that plasma cutters work WAY better for cutting through doubled frames than a torch. Rust had started between the doubler and original frame on the donor truck and buckled the frame all the way up to the cab (I'll take pics next week) so I used the torch to cut the hinge out... Not doing that again. Moved a cross member a few inches to clear the hoist cylinders and I need to build a new bracket for the carrier bearing. I should be putting the wet kit on the truck next week.
