1937 Pickup bed
I had a 37 pickup a while back but it was a Hot Rod. I was curious if the factory bed was steel over a wood subframe and painted the body color or black?

Re: Death wobble
No castle nuts. The cotter pins were tight going in. Better than the way it was with no cotter pins. Should be alright. I'll keep an eye on it.

Re: Death wobble
Ok....got the wishbone ball to pop down. The rubber ball is whole so I don't see a problem. Re-installed everything and put cotter pins in.

Pulled the cover off the wishbone ball. There were no cotter pins in the bolts holding the cover on. The rubber ball seems to be in-tacked and not tore up. I could not get the wishbone to pop down...

Re: Death wobble
Great information. So....if I unbolt the ball will it slide off both wishbone halfs where I could get it on the work bench for inspection. If the ball is to be lubed, what should I use?
