How much play? If 1/8" or less, that's fairly normal. Might save you from opening it up.

Re: 65 Panel Truck "RWC"
Good news, I measured the axle "play" last night, it was less than an 1/8". I did reseat 4 wheel studs though.
Now I will just clean it up, lubricate and be thankful. |

Went out to work on the panel today, but worked on my daughter's truck and her friend's car. Necessary maintenance, but never got to the panel...such is life.
On a different note, I got this cool panel truck off eBay. |
Re: 65 Panel Truck "RWC"
Neat model!

I have not been reading much recently, so missed your build thread.
I have always loved short panel vans. Yours looks especially good. And your daughters S10 as well, I would love an S10, either version, but ideally fleetside, extra cab. |

Thanks for all the compliments, she's a fun truck. As Grandpa would say, I call her a 10 footer (she looks good from 10 feet). She's far from perfect, but like most of my vehicles fun to drive.
Here's some pics from the yard. |

so several wheel studs were not seated, several ruined old lug nuts & washers later...everything is seated.
It's scary that I was cruising around like that. |
Re: 65 Panel Truck "RWC"
WoW !!
Glad you found that out at home, rather than going down the motorway |

This is how I have mounted my seat for now, gonna drive it a few times and see if I like the height and such. Definitely more comfortable than the bench.

New toy, 1966 suburban w/case. My plan is to paint it to match my panel.

Re: 65 Panel Truck "RWC"
So I am working on some misc. things. I am going to add a PCV valve and breather setup, I am running the brake booster to the manifold. Right now it is run to the front of the carb where I will run the PCV.
I now realize that I should have taken some pics. |

Today I met Tim aka Special-K, great guy, and bought 4 steel wheels. I will paint them red and put on dog dish hubcaps.
They bolt up nicely, now to get my whitewalls put on (225/75R15). |

Test coat, I will check it after work today. I think it’s gonna match pretty good. Then I can paint all four and mount the tires!

Re: 65 Panel Truck "RWC"
Looks good, what did you use for paint?

My plan is to paint today, let everything cure for a week and then get the tires mounted. I like your Burb by the way. |

I replaced the glove box, not too bad. First pic-old liner, second pic- new liner.
I admit that I read somebody else's experience and that prepared me for the install. I found out why the glove box door rattles, a busted bushing on one side. I purchased new ones off eBay, now I just have to install them. |
