Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project
Interesting day.
Went to Sally’s uncle Bobs yard to get some pics of the Bedford TK cab for an interested guy. ![]() Then headed home to move a load of firewood from behind the garage to fill a wood shed, another firewood box at the back door, and also the pile of firewood and kindling piles inside the house, Sally doing most of the hauling. I Dennis has been working hard at getting his NASCAR chassis sorted, welded and trimmed for the 66 C10 truck he is building. Engine mounts and various other attachments now sorted. So the chassis was rolled outside to await a pickup to go for sandblasting and powder coating. ![]() This things is goi go to rock for sure. So after the firewood session, I went to fetch the jack, impact gun and an extension cord from the garage and brought them up to the house. Removing the fist Galaxy wheel bolt........... Surprise !!!!!!!! Domed and loose face, I was expecting a 60’ degree taper. ![]() 13mm shaft. ![]() Threaded shaft - 38mm ![]() Total length..... 62mm ![]() Alloy wheel bolt hole base..... concave. ![]() Thickness of Ford mounting surface 11mm versus Mercedes Benz at 25mm ![]() And then lastly, depth of threaded Ford front hub 27mm ![]() Lastly, mocked up, just put in place after checking. Mercedes Benz front wheel fits comfortably without fouling up anywhere. I had not lowered the car to get the body and wheel arch closer to the ground. ![]() But it looks OK to me.
