Sometimes Things Go Right
Yesterday I started rebuilding the front end on my '69 GMC. After major brain fart trying to take off the front brake drums (thanks Southpa), the job just went great.
My first project (now abandoned) was a '68 Chevy that had spend its life doing hard duty on the farm. Every bolt on the truck was rusted and frustrating. My '69 GMC had a much easier life and has only 34000 original miles. Bolts move. Brake line couplings move with little effort. What a pleasure.

Past: '05 Sierra 4x4 - Had 270,000 KM and running well when it was written-off by a stop sign runner. '94 F-150 from the "F word" company. I'll admit it...good truck. Sold what was left of it for $800 to a guy who came to pick it up at 11:00 PM with cash in hand. Hmm. '79 Sierra Grande (Black) organ donor - perfect rebuildable 4-bolt 350 and a good TH350. '76 Sierra Grande (Orange) - hate isn't too strong a word. Kid who bought it turned it into a hot rod. '68 C-10 R.I.P. - Dad's old truck...too far gone to resurrect. '59 C-50 - with hoist. Truck is gone, wife isn't. Nuff said. |
