Does it look like one of these?

Remember this advice... When in doubt post a pic. we can better answer your question and enjoy your truck at the same time! How does your hood stay up? You either got the things that look like drawer slides on the sides or you have a single prop rod in front of the grill.

How can something so simple make me smile so hard?

Welcome! nice avatar, is it your truck? good idea. Thank you.

Rustoleum Extreme Yellow 252461. It was as close as I could get at the home store in a spray can. It is a wee bit too bright.

You posted a pic of the grease so I would get of your back about it didn't you? Lol

I'm leaning toward installation of the hub onto the spindle during final assembly. I caught the lip on a Corporate 14 bolt on a 3/4 ton chevy and the spring came off.. I had my M211 grease get oiled and it looked like pudding inside. I cannot say it washed out cleanly like yours. Did you...

Help me out. My bearings are all running in wheel bearing grease. They are packed. It takes about a pound per wheel. The outer seal keeps the oil out of the bearings, the inner keeps the grease out of the brakes. Where did your grease go?

It would be interesting to know if there was any play in the bearings that may have distorted the seal lip. So it is my understanding the disk with the 6 holes that is bolted to the drum is an oil shield. I wonder where they think that oil is going to go? I don't see a hole to the outside?

I'm back on the red truck. Getting close to the end. I'm planning on switching to a canvas top. Blasted and painted the top parts last week and will be painting tonight. The rubber seals look like new after being hit with the blaster. The weather strip even became a little more flexible after...

Maybe like a Dana 44 front axle. Place the lip seal inside the housing right beside the differential side bearing. Oil never even gets inside the tube as it all stays inside the pumpkin. The lip seal rides on the shiny area right next to the splined axle shaft. Lets dwell on this for a...

Whatever it is, you are doing a good job! I don't remember, but is it possible to put the outer seal in backwards? Just trying to cover all possibilities.

Do your differential covers have 2 fill plugs or just 1? Never mind it has 2. If you swap covers from front to back the things get flipped upside down and you use the other plug for the oil level. You don't suppose they pulled the top plug and pumped it full like you would on a car or pickup...

I put a water pump on a restored early corvette once. Well actually twice. The first time I used "ample" Permatex blue. The guy said "You are sure using a lot of that stuff. Can you use too much?" And I replied "Naw the extra just squeezes out and you peel it off with a screwdriver." A few...

Glad you have a good manifold. Check to see that the flanges on the intake and exhaust manifolds line up flush with the head. I experienced one that was off by more than 1/8". Good luck!

That is beautiful! I throw in a little extra form a gasket around the cork seal. Allows me to sleep better. I don't know if it really does anything?

I usually just show up and they ask me where I want to set up and show me the map of open swap spaces. If you don't want to set up for a swap meet space they have a row where they display trucks usually for free. I don't know if I'm going to bring any parts this year. I only have M211/M135 stuff.

It just makes me laugh and I cannot stop! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtfO-cLkxHk I messed around with this thing for months. Then I figured our there is a chamber within a chamber and a mouse nest inside that. It is louder than my 3-1/2 magnum 12gauge!

Sam Weiner I think Ohio for 1 master. Oshkosh equipment for the other master. I think they were $80-100 each new. Wheel cylinders, I have to think where else I got them. Brake shoes? How many? I'm sure I have some.

That is what I did too. Replaced them all the same. Works great. I don't know about mixing???? I also spent the $78 and did the master cylinder at the same time. Did the hoses a few months later after much frustration. 20/20 hindsight...
