Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
SLOWLY making progress as a part-time weekend warrior.
Rebuilding the 1986 front axle assembly to replace the '64 unit. New front axle u-joint installed and finally got the steering arm and tie rod nuts removed (with a little help from the torch!). Steering arm removal is next once I get the cones out. That should be fun! Last edited by _mg; 05-02-2015 at 04:06 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
OK pimpston65, I agree that's a nice hood. At least what I can see is really nice. What about the lower front flange? Chevy or GMC hood?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
You weren't kidding. Looks MINT to me. Nearly NOS in fact. Wanna trade? I have a slightly dented blue hood that needs work. Haha! LOL! Of course you'd have to pay the shipping. Seriously, that's a nice score, especially in your part of the world where rust gets everything.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I entered my truck in it's first car show today. I wasn't expecting coming home with any trophies because I came late to the show. It turned out to be a good day, I came home with six and one of them was best in show.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Lugnutz,
thanks a ton for posting your pictures! I thought there was something wrong with the hole for the column, that little edge that's bent outward, I thought mine was jacked! LOL So either both our trucks are jacked or it's factory! ![]()

LDO, I remember when I did mine. It was a real pain until I got it all off. Looking good!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Thanks!
I've been using this orange gel stuff and it works really good with no bad odor. It doesn't burn the skin off either like the old military stuff I used a long time ago. ![]()
