'63 Under the Christmas Tree - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Literally, my truck is stuck under the tree (it's in the attic) and I've ran out of time. My family is not going to be happy if I can't get it moved. I thought this was funny, ha ha, and figured I'd share.

I took the front end apart to upgrade the brakes and suspension. I made my list of parts and checked it 3-4 times and thought I had everything needed. I went to reassemble it today and found that the wrong part was shipped from LMC. I have another post going over in the suspension section checking options.

Something like this happen to anyone else??

That's a good way to get out of putting that sucker up,

Hey, Christmas comes every year, hopefully you only have to do the front end of your truck ONCE.

Well, I'll state the obvious, I'll be glad to take that problem off of your hands! Yeah, OK is a long way from VA and with no front end it would really be a stretch. Fortunately my Vette is on the road, otherwise, I'd be in the same boat in my garage.

There's still 29 days until Christmas......how long you figure to get that front end back together?

Looks like you might have to get a "real" tree this year
