Now the BAD
after installing the axle on the truck i was looking over everything and noticed that the holes in the brass bushings no longer matched up with the grease fittings. After further investigation the bushing were spinning inside the spindle. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
well we all know what that means.... spindles are no longer good, i knew as much but i didn't want to accept the fact. but the show must go on and i finished installing the axle on the truck then called it a day, figured i needed to get on a computer and start looking for replacements.
I called every major player but to no avail then i remembered reading about a guy that converts straight axles to drop axles you might know him as
www.droppedaxles.com or Nostalgia Sid's. I called him and he rebuilds worn spindles YAHOOOOO!!!!!!!!! we talked for a minute about how he goes about it and even told me how to do it but i thought this time around i would leave it to the professional and ordered me a set of rebuilt spindles.
now we play the waiting game
but there is still plenty to get done before they arrive
thanks Sid you rock
