Pulled and replaced two rear axle bearings and seals. Noticed that there was a little unwanted noise in the driver's rear. I have always been taught that noise = worn out parts. I cant say enough about the oreilly up the street. Paid a little more for the bearings but I used for free the rear axle bearing puller and bearing installation tool. Saved me in the long run. Noticed that one of my rebuilt wheel cylinders was weeping so ordered another complete unit to finish the job off. It was a great time for me to examine the rear end gears, and they look really nice for being 65 years old, mind boggling. You can tell a vehicle that has had good care and maintenance, the hard parts seem to last nicely.
AD trucks are timeless.
