I've got two axles that have me in the same boat. The drums are STUCK. One is my axle that's been sitting out in the weather for several years, which is understandable. But the other is under my Burb that has only been sitting in that one spot for maybe 6 months. I was swinging the BFH at them with all I got and they are still stuck. I'll probably have to cut them.
Well your kind of a midget so yeah

Started it twice yesterday and let it run to operating temp.
Had a garden lizard under the hood in the plastic vent cover and a green frog inside the passenger door so I know it is being guarded while I am away.:D

Waiting to come across another “real” GMC grille to fix Bucket’s contribution to the cause, but until then.... I like it.

What do you guys think?

GMC emblem in a plain Chevy grille, that's actually a really good idea.

I put my push bar on today. I also discovered my third broken sway bar mount. I’m going to just take it off until I can make something that will hold up.

I started reworking my flat bed I got in a trade a few years ago

I narrowed it down to 80”, cut off the headboard to remake, cut off the stake pockets on the rear as well. Now to clean up the edges and determine what material I want to cap the sides with. I may be angling the back of the bed from the edges into the frame width.

I took my sway bar off today. I was going to try to see if I could make a bracket that would hold up better, but I think I’m going to drive it for a while and see how it does. I may just end up leaving it off.

I’ve been without one going on 18 years. It may “feel” a bit different cornering at speed tho. You’ll being losing some body roll control. Guess I’m just used to it. Mine’s off to help with launches on straightaways.

With power steering the body roll will be more noticeable. With manual steering it's difficult to turn fast enough to cause body roll.

Fixed some vacuum leaks that were causing bad issues.
