I also have a very nice Gmc frame that needs a rear axle . Can anyone tell how many nubs are on those wheels ? You know sometimes buying these things sight unseen can be an adventure in its self .Like I needed one more project ,I just can't keep from buying somewhat intact $500.00 trucks ! And it's only 70 miles away .

I mean really it's priced at scrap value .
I am the same way Grumpy, I just missed another 72 for 300.00 I can make more than that in one part !! How many rust buckets have you seen on here as projects that turn into gems ? ALOT !! My 68 was worse than that one you just bought, I honestly do not even have much left of the original truck Left after I removed all the parts that were bad I am glad to see someone save this gem from the crusher
