Re: 1964 GMC 3/4 ton build :D

Also in amongst all this have been putting the axle back together and the rear disc brake plates in place. Will have that all finished up Wednesday and the hubs back on as well. only dammed thing is murphy had to pull another fast one as I was testing the clearance on the retainer bolts for the hub locks I happened to look at the splines on the axle I was sliding out of the axle and dammed if the splines weren't twisted !!!! arrrgghhhhh!!!!!! Murphy you lil ****!! Talked to my axle builder and when I have the spare cash he is going to set up some chromoly axles for the diff oh well they will be much stronger than the existing cast axles. But other wise things are going back together beautifully. The axle hub locks are a nice addition I hate those bend tab thingy's they originally used. should have everything ready to roll when I get the axles in and I can start dumping diff fluid into this pig and the hubs as well lol learned that lesson really quickly!!!! I am using arp hardware on the axle side of the brake plates couldn't find anything near as strong so for 22 bucks here we are
