Re: '50 chevy 3100
My goal to have the rear axle done this week might not happen. It's been raining so I got a small inside project done. I got my door hinges all fixed up and painted! I bought the oversized pins from classicparts.
Three were loose, one was still tight as a drum. So it just got cleaned.
I tried to hammer them out. No luck.
I took a torch, small one you know no big shop here, no luck. Tried the wax trick...nope.
I used my drill press and had to drill the old pins out! I did use a hacksaw to separate the pieces first though.
They are all nice and tight now, no play at all! I'll put doors on tomorrow. If I was in a shop I wouldn't yet but all this rain... and my new floor and starting interior stuff... it seems like a good idea..plus I've never done so much cab work before...itll help my paranoia to know cab isn't tweaked.
