Re: '60 GMC 4x4 Long Fenderside

Actually got to spend some time on the truck this weekend.

Took apart the front hubs, cleaned everything up, repacked the bearings, and put it all back together. Here is my son working on his side. He watched me do the first side, and pretty much did his side on his own.

We put the differential covers back on, and filled them. We drained the transmission and he transfer case. The fluid in the transmission came out a little dirty, but not too bad. The fluid in the transfer case came out sparkly and full of glitter. So either it is some old fashioned fancy gear oil, or I have a problem!


We also had gotten a new transmission hump from 63Spud. Mine was rusted pretty bad.

We cut a patch panel out of my original one, and have it ready to weld in next weekend.
