Charlottesville, VA. The train station (brick building on the right) is still there, along with the two story taller building in the background on right. https://maps.app.goo.gl/33XkVp3wwWEq1CoG7 https://www.cvillepedia.org/Belmont_Bridge

Miss Hurst, Linda Vaughn....is having to work extra hard to compete with that box truck, lol.

This is a '55 Chevrolet cut-away model, which I believe was on display at the 1955 GM Motorama show.

Nice Caprice!

I heard from a past attendee that three vehicles may show up. The 1955 C-series in light blue metallic that made an appearance at the 11th - the gentleman that owned it, known as Boscar (or Bosker) passed away last year, but his son is planning to bring it. Also, his other son(s) are supposedly bringing a '57 truck and a '57 300, both from the Boscar collection.

This is a handy guide for those of us without the miller adjusting tool. Browsing all over the site was a moot effort trying to find this file. I thought it would be under "Technical/brakes", but not. Not in "resources" either. It only came up searching "brake" under the "downloads" category.

I suspect he might be referring to the spindle nut. Tightening instructions are in the manual. They are just snugged up while turning the drum, backed off, and snugged to the hole alignment. Never "tight". Also the OP said he only greased the outer bearing. Now he could have two competing base types of grease. When was the last time the inner bearing was greased? Suggest greasing both and replacing the seals. Why only do one?

It's been warm the past couple days, today in Lockeford it'll be 84. But then it's getting cold again, down into the low 60s. Looks like it'll be warming up again for the weekend of the "BBO"...

"Barn find of 100 vintage flathead engines, never been fired. Selling as a lot only. Price is firm, I know what I have. Buyer must pick up, will not ship"

At least on my 53, it's keyed.

Will any motorhomes be attending this year? If so, make sure Dave brings his tow truck again, lol. From the 2016 archives: (...and shyte)

Listen to this scientist's view on climate change.

There's dirt and rust inside the engine, rear end, transmission, brakes, etc. I would disassemble everything completely and clean it. May have to replace parts due to corrosion. If you start it, it's done.
