Re: New Member 1960 GMC 4x4
Few updates. Pulled the rear end apart. Axel seals were leaking. Fashioned a scrapper out of an old washer and piece of all-thread to clean out the axel tube. And made an extended straw for the brake cleaner with some electrical heat shrink. Dropped one side to keep everything flowing out the wheel side then dropped the other and repeated the process. Lightly greased the inside of the tube and axels. Replaced the bearings while I was in there even though they seemed to be in decent working condition. Any recommendations of what gear lube to use? Lots of opinions out there.
While waiting for parts I put some dynamat down. Hope it was worth the cost/effort. Dynaliner then rough in floor mats next time I’m in a holding pattern. Had to have the radiator recored $$$. Pulling apart the front axel next for paint. Seals and all should be good. Did them a couple years back.
