Once the weather chased me inside I worked on my never-ending steering wheel project. Another 6 months or so of sanding, filling, and painting should get it looking okay.

A rare photo of the early design of the 1968 rally wheel. Never made it into production. May be the world's only set that GM didn't crush.
Junk Bros., rare and vintage items, made while you wait. |

Since it's colder than I care to work in I stayed in the shop today. Not much got done but I did take a good look at the trunions for the tailgate. Not good.

Found these flange bearings and made them fit. Had to weld nuts on the back sides, not an easy task.

You're making good progress and I appreciate your take on things. Even mentioning the reality that sometimes we cuss at things that we say we enjoy doing :lol: |

I was in the Navy for 10 years, got out when Clinton was cutting back on the armed forces. I never regret joining the Navy and I never regret deciding to leave, I had changed and was ready for a different type of life. I don't cuss much at all unless I'm in the shop! |

I'm pretty safety conscious as far as p.p.e. goes, but I refuse to wear a cup while wire wheeling! May have to throw my coveralls on top of my usual grubby jeans though, those wires are shockers.

Finally got the rust patching to a point I felt that I could go ahead and treat the bed with some phosporic acid (Ospho). I know, old tech, but I'm old so there you go.

Once that had dried for 24 hours I wire brushed the residue off and painted it with Chassis Saver (like POR15, but not). The gloss really spot lighted the areas that need attention.
