Took a look at the front axle, I don’t see a whole lot wrong with it. The only thing keeping it from moving was the brakes. Once I got the drums off it all moves just fine. There was a little water in the hubs and a little bit in the diff but not very much at all.
The wheel bearings look decent, the axle shafts look decent, spindles, etc all look ok. There isn’t any play in anything or noise just turning it by hand. Nothing exciting on the drain plug magnet either.
Someone must have liked this truck back in the day. The lockrings and outside edges of the duals are all painted silver. Some interesting non standard wheels on the front tandem as well. They look like Firestone RH-5s to me, actual “widowmaker” wheels. I should probably junk those.
