Re: My 1958 GMC 100 Stepside Budget Build

Thanks everyone.

Things are moving slower than I would like but I am very pleased with how everything is turning out.

I have finished blasting the frame and have disassembled the front and rear suspension and axles for blasting. No real surprises other than both front leaf spring center bolts were broken and all of the u bolts are needing replaced. I was really happy to see that the spindles were in excellent shape and the wheel bearings and races looked like they were brand new. So other than repacking them with grease I don't think anything will need to be done there. I hope to finish the sand blasting on the suspension and axles this weekend and then it is on to chassis paint but between Thanksgiving, black Friday shopping, and the wife dying to get the Christmas decorations put up we'll see how much I actually get done.

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.
