Slow progress on the C8 in the last few weeks, but squeezing in a few hours here and there.
The rear axle from the late-model Chev Blazer fit like a glove after cutting off the tube shock mounting brackets. Was able to reinstall most of the original C8 rear axle hardware and cast knee-action shock brackets.
This is the set of aftermarket 15" wheels I bought from another MLU member recently. The extra-thick centers are welded into tubeless rims. Have bevelled stud holes on both sides.
These wheels don't appear to be home-made. Have one nice, continuous weld bead on each side. One would have to really know what he was doing to get good penetration on the thick centers without burning through the much thinner rims. Any thoughts to their origin?
Thanks, David
