Only a car guy would look at a driveshaft yoke and think it was beautiful, LOL.

Don't forget to tighten the nuts, BTW.

Hi Lower50's

I find this picture on the internet, and printed this one
On a sticker
And filled the complete wall with it
Its 3.50 meter bij 2.00 meter high

My truck is standing in the middel of my garage,
And it is very Nice with this picture on the wall
Next to the truck, and my bar

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland

this whole project looks fantastic, along with the man cave. in the 3rd photo of the drive shaft, the shaft looks a little close to the cross member or back of the cab - cant tell what it is, but have you checked for clearance when the rear suspension is fully bottomed out ?
how do I know about that ? I messed up an expensive drive shaft when mine hit the cross member. any way, at your Christmas party, you might start a new game. have your buddies climb into the back of the truck to compress the suspension & check for clearance. good luck & happy holidays.
