Re: New member, old 57 3100

Installed new front brake drums, hoping they will help with the slight front end shimmy. Ordered new front leaf spring shackles and bushings from LMC, not here yet.

Received the 55 GMC chrome, man is it in great shape. Only damage is on the bullets and that is even very slight. There is some surface rust spots on the chrome but its still very, very bright, maybe too bright for my dark truck. Need to think this through before I scotchbrite it down. I do believe even if the chrome was to be re-plated the first step would be to strip it down.

The real kicker was the GMC 100 logo. I had never seen a complete one. First two pictures are before. Last two pictures are after 24 hour soak in Evapo Rust. They could still use another days soak IMHO.
