So I was crawling around under my truck today, trying to decide what the best course of action would be to get to the bad gas sending unit. Well, I looked back at the axle and noticed the nuts looked a little funny to me; there was no exposed thread. Upon closer inspection, only half the nut actually engages the threads on the passenger side! The drivers side has one exposed thread on each nut.

It appears the PO put add-a-leafs on and didnt change the U-bolts. Horray for retards. Of course I feel like a bit of a retard for just now noticing it after owning the truck for almost 3 years... Anyway, I know what my project is for next weekend!

Look on the bright side; you won't have to contend with any rusted-U-bolt issues, for the final threads will've been covered by the nut!

Too many people who were born on third base actually believe they've hit a triple.

we found a 4x4 stuffed in the frame with the leaf springs fastened to it on our truck yesterday, weve only owned it for a few months and hadnt done much before yesterday, on the bright side of surprise finds, i found a gas cap for my 67 dart gt amongst a lot of trash on the rear passenger floorboard of our parts dart, i have been using a slightly different one i got off ebay, but the one i found matches the one i lost after filling up somewhere...so, heres hoping your next surprise is more pleasant...

One exposed thread is just as good as ten.
