Re: My 1982 silverado......
if youll remember I rebuilt the whole front end (suspension and steering), while I was under there I had noticed the frame cracking mroe and more. There was already a large hole (I had posted pics in my front end rebuild thread), I had that temp fixed but now it has gotten worse and the frame is also cracking where the front crossmember for the suspension connects to the frame. I guess all that "flexing" paid the toll.. Due to the cracks and hole I was experiencing what can only be called the "death wobble". My truck would shake so violantly because the tires were wobbling (steering wheel did not move) that each side of the truck would dang near come off the ground. anything I kept in the door pockets would end up in my lap and on the floor. It was to the point it wasnt safe. The way I look at it, I can use the good parts to rebuild the GMC and make it nicer then save the rest for my future project.. the 82 will never really leave... its spirit will live on in a couple different trucks.. I have had the 82 for 10yrs so it is hard to see it end like this. But, like Brandon said.. too much is too much. All the money that I have put into the 82 wont be wasted, like I said, most of it will be put on the 87 GMC.
