There must be a God for morons like me...
Hi Guys ,
got into troubles two days ago : the connection between my left front under arm and the spindle went south , the wheel crashed in the inner fender , the cab went backward for about half an inch ... I came back with my wife from the shopping mall & was driving the truck at 30 MPH. I could avoid other cars & people walking around. What a shock , Wow ! I didn't got pissed as usual , but a lot frightened , as I used the truck the day before at 80 MPH on the Highway , carrying my two kids. If it had happened then , I probably would be sitting right now with my kids , on a white cloud , near the Boss , you know , the one with that white beard & that loud voice... Results : - 200 US$ to let bring the truck home - a Girl Friend who almost wetted her pants - a truck I will certainly part or fix , I don't know by now if it is fixable. - funny thing : as the cab moved backward , I cannot put the tranny in Park anymore I think this is the last warning that my C10 has had his time ... Check your front axles , Guys  The Baron ____________________________________________________ 1979 C10 long bed , 350 Olds engine , dead 1986 C10 Burb , 6.2 Diesel ( toasted ) , restauration project 1977 Impala Sedan , straight six 250ci , "Ye old Reliable" 1960 Girl Friend , frame still good , body has some dents... |

You just never know when something on any car or truck will fail and leave you without any control.

I had somthing similer happen in my 79. Taking a corner right next to my house at only 5-10mph my left rear tire decided it was a good time to come off the axle. Down the truck went, and out and around the wheel/tire went. The look on my face must have been priceless.....
Glad to hear your ok.
