It looks like a dually tailgate but its a half ton and all original. I think the PO pulled a trailer. They seem to be added. Cool aren't they?

[TJ's Chevy]

Here's my dad's 73 chevy. And it has a 496 big block chevy.

[RoughKuntry]

Just bought a 1973 4x4 GMC 25 Hundred Super Custom for $850.00, She is factory stock 350 V8 with 4 Carb Holley, on military rims. Has a 1 ton back axle for pulling trailers. Built into the bed 5th Wheel Hitch, with a Warn Winch on the front. She is Original Sky Blue with a white top for the cab. Has a straight body, but doors and floor board need to be replaced. She was sitting for 5 years with right tank full of old gas. After previous owner charged the battery, She still ran and drove, till I got her back to my house, I have the back wheels and tanks off for new 8 lug rims and tires, Draining the old fuel, and cleaning the lines out. She has a 4 speed Manual transmission but other then that she is a champ.

ya she has some rust in the floor boards and close to the doors. a few dents but it give her character just having problems with removing the drums off the 1 ton back axle. I have no Idea how to do it. these things are massive.

The back hubs on the 1 ton diff are simular to the front hubs with screw in retainer that you need a hub tool for, pull the axle first and you will see what I mean inside. Like I mentioned very simular setup to front rotors.

Here's the problem, I am broke till next payday which is next month. And where can I get one of these tools? I did what you said and pulled the back axle out and did everything, Just need to remove that center spindle that holds the axles and keeps it in motion with the drive line.

its been raining something like that, and I hope that none of our form members get stuck in something like that. Add a snorkel to the trucks, so no one goes swimming

Man, I really like the look of the bumper with the grill guard. Does anyone know where I could get one? I have a stock chrome 73 bumper that I could trade. They should be interchangeable right?

[Sodell]

Those are bumper guards, they are bolt on.
