I have to admit, I was pretty fired up...still am, really. After a rough week of work (which ended yesterday about 2 hours before this video was recorded), that was some pretty good therapy. Thanks for the help guys!
I told you she'd fire up. You can't kill these 'ol things without a lot of effort!

Not much progress. Lots of stuff ordered; some stuff in. Had some time today to start cleaning up the 60 hubs. Knuckle studs out, hub studs out, wheel bearing races out (new ones in the freezer). Going to wire brush the knuckles and hubs and put a little paint on 'em before putting the new studs and races in. Couple of pics (boring, I know):
Anyone need 60 series axles, steering arms, or calipers? I cleaned the arms, but they are only place holders for the upper knuckle shims.

Saw your 40 when I helped the guys with Lash's 40. solid base. It going to be a good one!

I'm interested in the calipers if you are willing to ship them (should fit in USPS flat rate box). I want a set to rebuild and swap out the ones on my 60 at the moment. PM me a price and other details.
BTW - Nice build!

Found this little jewel in North MS Saturday afternoon. Big thanks to Todd for wasting part of his weekend to pick it up for me!

Yep...you called that one.
Nice find. I rebuilt my 8274 a couple of years ago. Let me know when you want to tackle it.
