Re: 68 GMC 4x4 Suburban build up

wacked all the rivets off with my air chisel today and wire brushed most of the gunk away from the front frame rails for paint. removed the steering box and ran into a little issue. one of the nuts was stripped real bad so I got my air chisel and was going to just bust through the nut but it ended up cutting a grove in it and backing it loose so I sat there holding a wrench in one hand while hitting the nut with the air chisel in the other slowly but surely until it came off. Holy crap I couldn't close my hand after this. Serious arm pump reminded me of my motocross days!

Also started to put a new HEI, plugs and wires in my 75 jimmy which was going well until I realized I ordered plug wires for a points dizzy nfing clue how I did that..... WHOOPS!
