Re: The Snortin' bull
Adapting the 1960 gmc hubcap's to later model 5 on 5 wheel's.This is still a budget build . I had some (impala) Caprice Police Cruiser rim's around so I used these for the Bull at this time. Kept it simple to keep the cap's retained.

Re: The Snortin' bull
The axle's are back.Reinstalled them today into housing. Redrilled for 5 on 5 and turned down in the center to fit the later model drum's.FYI or BTW on these early Dana 44 axle's they use same as the big Ford ( torino ) axle bearing's very common and they are 30 spline axle shaft's.

Re: The Snortin' bull
It's funny, I'd never see a hubcap like yours till I saw this thread. Then 4 of these showed up for sale locally, still in the factory boxes, never installed. 1955 though, you said yours were 1960?

Re: The Snortin' bull
Piece by piece.Fab up exhaust front to back. This is alway's time consuming.There are very talented exhaust builder's out there though on my home garage floor I am not one of them.Especially on a bagged truck.
