Well, it was the back up truck until April '22, when I got T-Boned in my '68 C/10 Orange Stepside on my way to the Union picnic.
I'd been driving it since 1973.
I've replaced the rear end, trailing arms and passenger side wheel, but it still crabs Left and above 59 MPH, I get wildly excessive vibrations. Turns out my Propshaft is bent. I have a '68 RH Stepside fender. It's gold. I will mount that when it's running well.
Last week -- with the Jimmy down for brake cable surgery -- I had to run the pickup for short grocery runs. It's OK if I keep the speed down. I need to run it thru emissions, as it's registration is up at October's end. After I get it passed, I'll pull the driveshaft and see if it's fixable. Funny, the price of used vintage parts is about the same as a new custom-built shaft.
