The Blue Goose

[oldblue1968chevy]

Well, my welder neighbor wasnt home..so I took it to my Gfs dad (can weld pretty good but not a pipeline welder). He welded towards the axle (I would think more important) And I put down some welds towards the bushing end

Havent done much welding but it looks 'ok'.

Slopped some more bedliner on the welds after we were done.

PS, if anyone ever coats there frame in bedliner, its VERY hard to scrape back off for welding purposes. Had to use the handgrinder!!!

Got my track arm off with the big sledge and lots of wd40 and oil. Gonna have to hit the junkyard for a better one LOL.

All I have left to do to make it running driving (minus bed)=

-Buy new U bolts (peace of mind lol my threads are worn badly.
-buy/Install carrier bearing
-Install trailing arm when dry (welded/bolted it together).
-E-brake cable (didnt work anyway, should I still get new one, the old ones gone lol
-Get my wrecked bedside off (ANYONE TELL ME WHERE ALL THE BOLTS ARE HIDING LOL)
-Figure out how to ship bedside from KS to TN (will do when trucks driving)

Thanks!!!!!! It feels good to be getting this thing 'on the road again for the second time in less than 1 month LOL)

Thats about it...
