He said it was simple, the Burb is hers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

SLOWLY making progress as a part-time weekend warrior.

Rebuilding the 1986 front axle assembly to replace the '64 unit. New front axle u-joint installed and finally got the steering arm and tie rod nuts removed (with a little help from the torch!).

Steering arm removal is next once I get the cones out. That should be fun!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

OK pimpston65, I agree that's a nice hood. At least what I can see is really nice. What about the lower front flange? Chevy or GMC hood?

I entered my truck in it's first car show today. I wasn't expecting coming home with any trophies because I came late to the show. It turned out to be a good day, I came home with six and one of them was best in show.
