I pulled the wheels off my front hubs to do an inspection on my '50 half ton.
I also thought it was a good time to grease the zirk fittings on the front end. Found out that several were bad......heck, their only 60 years old!! Decided while I was under there I'd check out the shocks because they looked pretty rough. The top and bottom nuts were really hard to get off. After spraying with WD-40 and PB blaster I thought I had the top nut off one of the shocks and then it happened.......the bolt twisted off. Well, the shock was bad after all so I didn't feel too bad. Took the other side off without incident. Went to Advanced, O'Reilly, Auto Zone and NAPA and none of them had shocks to fit in stock, so I ordered two for the front end and they will be in Sunday by noon, so I should have them installed soon after. I also bought some new zirk fittings and installed those. The grease gun worked perfectly and now the front is full of new grease.

I had fun today!
