Wait...Im building a truck...shit. Outboard engines got in the way....

Sold canoe.

Bought boat.

Rebuilt a 1947 KF5, Mercury 5hp!

Ohhhh, and I guess I got my hubs in from Sandy 😎

1” King ping spindles from a ‘81 E350. I put new bushings/pins in and shipped to Sandy. He set up the mounts and clearances for the brakes, and while he was at it he machines the new bushings for the new kingpins (reamed)

Amazon bumper fit perfectly! I bought the biggest size bolts that would fit in the frame horns in order to take up a slack/tolerance.

Welds suck ass and I have gaps…BUT, I’m learning and will get better. Until then I’m going to experiment some which will include some grinding and trying different techniques. Once I get these on, I’ll start on the new crossmember.
