[69 C10 LWB]

Amazing weather means I got a lot of work done today. I got both front hubs drilled out for bigger studs and the front bearings cleaned and repacked with fresh grease. I drilled the hubs with a 39/64 drill bit and my drill pres and it turned out perfect. The holes ended up at .610 and the studs have a .623 knurl on them. I was able to pull them in with the nuts easily but they still had a good fit. I ordered Dorman 610-182 (factory replacement for a 73 C30) studs to use but they were too long. I ended up using 610-218 studs which are 2" long. I took advantage of the nice weather and backed it out of the garage so I could knock some of the rust and dirt off the frame and put a little paint on it. Its just rustoleum rust converter from a rattle can but for now its a start. I also stuck my late model center caps on to see how they will look. Ive got a friend at work that is going to cut me some blue bow ties to replace the yellow ones that are used on the new trucks.
