Troy,

How are you doing, Hand healing Good? Spent a little time cleaning out the Truck this weekend. Got 4 Trash bags full out of it, When we got it off the Trailer Sat. Morning we pulled it about 5 feet till the u bolts in rear kicked out like u were afraid of happening. Made it a ***** to get it rest of way up my Driveway, I will probably start a build thread on it & post Pics of the effort involved Friday & from now on.

It is 3rd in line as far as priority right now, Just want to Again Say Thanks for Your Help & Genourstly Concerning this Matter...........

Rick

It's actually draining ok and still isn't too painful. I took the gauze off and am letting it air out right now. Still only taking Ibuprofin about every 12 hours. So, it could definitely be worse. I am glad the u-bolts didn't kick out on the way home. What did you do to get it off of the trailer, put skinny tires on it?

Actually got Pretty Lucky & only had to Put One on the Right front, The way it was setting..............

Changed that one tire & it rolled right off, Im putting Together a post now on the Beginning build of 4x4 Crew Stepside...........

Here is how cocked the rear axle was

Those top of the line rear leaf springs didn't help matters either.

One thing about it that truck still has a piece of me with it.

I wouldnt be suprised if you bring 3 more home before May

I cant find one and you have them all stashed up in Perrysville.

Guess I better put the new truck body on the '69 and sell it so I can afford the blazer build.
And congrats on the new toy Rick,you should have fun building it,it will be sweet
