What setup do you have on front to use a 3" spindle? I've only seen 3" spindles for 73-up.

Did a little refurb of the dash cluster. Cleaned, polished, and painted the needles.

did you have any trouble with the wire harness to the back of the new instrument? Seems like mine doesn't feel right.

Went from dull, rusty grill and headlight bezels to several coats of primer and paint. Wanted chrome, but budget won't allow it.

Last week, the trans cooler came loose from the mount and busted a hole in the radiator. So, had to replace that. While that was out, re-mounted the trans cooler with something more reliable than plumbers tape, replaced the hoses and belts, and completely flushed out the system. I had replaced the thermostat only six months ago, so that was still good.

Gave old blue the linseed oil rub down.
Sure made 35+ year old paint look better.

I took the 68 to the shop today to have the rear end checked. I'ts been kinda noisy and clunky lately. Well the carrier's wore out and spider gears are pitted and the pinion bearing's bad so I'm going to have to open up the wallet for a rebuild. I'm having a posi put in while it's apart. Like my sig says, "Money is only a tool"

The paint is so chalky and dried out, more blue ends up on the pad than stays on than the truck.
I'd seen the jalopy guys do it. Thought I'd give it a go. Best $7.99 I've spent yet.

I think I heard your truck say, "Thank you."
