Got a over load of pictures for you guys. Swapped the trannys, the main bearing in the trans was toast along with the rear pilot bushing.

Re: 1960 GMC K1000 4x4

so i had a near miss today, the freeway decided to stop in front of me i got into a little bit of a fish tail slide from making the breaks lock. I nearly hit a car in the slide next to me i let off and started re breaking all while i was head checking and starting to move over. i was not sending my motor into the back of a stopped car. lucky the lady in the lane i was taking seen me sliding and was able to back off so i didn't have to hit her i got past the guy in front of me by the skin of my teeth ether way. As i get slowed down and moved back over into the stopped or now slow lane i was in i'm now pumping with adrenalin laughing my ass off the lady that let me over passes i give her a thumbs up laughing and she rolls her eyes and drives of haha!

Re: 1960 GMC K1000 4x4

If only you had video of that and could look back and see the whole thing, would be so interesting. So brake upgrade time or what.

Re: 1960 GMC K1000 4x4

Once upon a time I was driving my wifes first 72 LeMans that she had not seen yet after I had picked it up for her, and had a similar incident.

I was coming up and over an overpass that was icy in Oklahoma...car in right hand lane lost control and smashed into right side bridge retainer wall, which swung his rearend into the front passenger side of the guy in left hand lane.

I was coming up on them at a good clip, tried the brakes enough to realize there was no traction at that speed, so I aimed for the widening space between the two cars, and by the most narrow of margins I slipped right between them !!

I was the most impressive bit of driving that I can even lay claim to, well.... other than almost bouncing a car side ways at 90mph... but that is another story, and one revealing of personal youth and stupidity. LoL


Glad you made it out Ok, and no one got hurt !!!!
Hope you didnt mind my little story there I likes to share sometimes !!
