Re: 1964 GMC 1500 "crustine" semi- build.

Well no updates worthy of posting pictures for. Today I took Crustine to Dad's shop and put her on the lift. Boy was it a darn good thing I took a look at the underneath....Found out that my electric fuel pump wire had fallen from slack and was in the process of melting to the exhaust pipe! Needless to say that wire was replaced and held firm to the frame with zip ties. lol I then completely greased the front end(minus the spindles) and rear u-joint. My steering always felt a tad loose, and in the process of greasing I noticed one of my tie rod ball joints was not even tight to the center rod! So I tightened that up and things were nice and snug again. My brakes are way outta wack....rears lock up Way to easy. So tomorrow I'm gonna see about jacking the front end up and tighten the brakes up front. Probably will bleed them to. Gonna see about some new shocks for the front as I'm tired of the front end bouncing up an down like crazy over hilly/bumpy roads. lol With a 900 pound motor what can you expect! Anyhow, more updates to come in the future. Crustine is running like a champ!
