It's a beauty - a real diamond in the not-so-rough.

Not to point a finger, but: From the looks of it (hard to tell for sure) somebody may have forgotten to put a cotter pin in the castellated (notched) nut on the bottom of the drop spindle, as shown in the photo.

Better check on that one, to keep from possibly tearing that nice truck (& the driver & family) up pretty badly.

EDIT: Sorry ------------ I'm wrong, it's there. Should have looked closer, before I typed.
