Way back in the 70's we used to heat up the grease on the kitchen (gas) cooker for lubing m/c chains and bearings by simply finding suitable sized trays/cut up tin cans, also still use that trick to melt old boot polish NB always have a metal cover to smother if vapor lights 😎

Nice! I love those old short wides! I had an 81 Chevy short wide. I bought it from a guy I worked for. It was pretty rough. I got it for 1200$. I just used it for a work truck. I loved how low the bed was. It was so easy to load stuff. It had drop shop spindles. Flipped rear end. No C notch. So it would bang the frame. If you loaded it too much. I had it for 11 years. The sold it for 1500$. I miss that truck. Now they are crazy expensive.

Great job! I threw away the cone greaser a long time ago. There is a cup, set bearing in and press. Waay less mess.packed a lot of bearings in my past. Note, wash inside of rotor before intalling bearings/seals. I have come across a couple that had casting sand remains in them. Brake cleaner and a brush. Compressed air. Perfect time to refresh the brakes! Looks awesome with the new stance.
