Re: 73 C60 Flat-Dump Truck

All my brake parts are in and I've verified that they all at least look like what I need. Took the front drums off this evening and discovered all the wheel bearings up front are shot. Pitted and nasty from water intrusion, shiny metal flakes on the driver's side. I'll call the local bearing supply place tomorrow for some new bearings and wheel seals.

Also discovered the passenger side kingpin has a good amount of play, I'll have to find a kingpin and bushing set for it. Such is life when you're dealing with a 52 year old truck, not too much of a surprise.
