Rob,
The 3 bearing assembly that Clarence made was different from the Wallace hubs, the middle bearing was different. If you remember Caspro they sold the 3 bears assemblies and listed it in their catalog and those were made for Caspro by Buskirk. I had talked with Dave earlier in the years on going thru what I have and he said that would, but Hal Kalding has had his A-arms redone to use the 1 ton front end. If I get time next year that is what I will do also.

I called Dave Lenzi to see if he wanted it as a core for the hubs and knuckles I got from him and he noted he could not use them. He told me Clarence made them as well as Wallace. I'm glad he can't use them as I couldn't get the three outer seal retainer bolts loose! I'll have to make a special wrench to get them out.

When we bought our first GMC from a great lady in Lansing Mi named Gladys Rogers she told us that she always had it serviced at Buskirk’s. So we went to see Clarence to check on the coach we want to buy. The man was a very unique person and always thinking on how to do things. We spent a morning the first visit talking about the coach we want to purchase and he showed us the stretch coach they were completing for a customer. Little would we know that we would be the owners of the coach 12 years later and become the 3rd owners.
