Re: '65 GMC 1500 project. From the Netherlands

At least you had gear oil in your. The previous owner of my truck had spindle seals and pinion seal leaking. What they did to fix the spindle is to pack grease in them. Didn't do anything to the pinion seal. When I removed the drain plug, I only got a table spoon of oil. When I open it up, everything was worn out. I had to replace everything.

Hmm. That was quite the chore I'd imagine... Great solution by the previous owner... Pinion and axle seals are like 30 bucks total and take a couple of hours to install...
