Lost my dad in 1988 and still felt this - thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the links. I will need to figure out how and where to hide all this as I reassemble my truck (currently in pieces). In a previous...
I am at Stage One, and interested in Stage Two... got those notes handy? Thanks.
Pretty sure it was Nate who told me not to take it apart, because that's when the madness starts. Since the frame was done, a year passed without...
Personally I'm a fan of dropped front axle on the stock frame. Also, please post pictures of your truck.
Reached a milestone today, and now (finally) have a rolling chassis for the body man to test fit parts on. Was planning to use original 16"...
Thought I was doing good by buying up as many genuine AC Delco parts as possible for my build. Went to install the front springs, and installed...
Sorry so long between updates, life slows pickup progress. I ended up sending the hinges to a guy who rebuilds them on the side. Trying to make a...

I have heard of swapping car hubs (and drums) onto trucks to get a 5 lug pattern on the front to match the rears after a rear end swap. The drums...
HINGES! This article ( Stovebolt Tech Tip -- Antique Chevy / GMC Truck Restoration Help ) references cutting hinge pins with a hacksaw blade. My...
I would be willing to bet it's 0-30, which was the old GM standard. Also, there are electronics now that let you convert the signal from any...
Thanks - appreciate the vote of confidence. And yes, I am planning an OD. Even with new bushings, those spring eyes were worn enough to have...
Need some advice, as I know nothing about rear ends. A couple of years back this was advertised for sale near me. The guy said it was working...

Well, it’s what has been under the truck since 1986 - what bends am I supposed to have?[ATTACH][ATTACH]
Been away for a while due to life and the plague, but back at it. Headed to the blaster tomorrow... [ATTACH]
I would wait on the Flex Seal until after an hour or so of Googling - looks like lots of people have converted tube-type wheels to tubeless......
