Hello all,
I have a project Frankenstein truck going and I'm working through the front axle, which I'm told was from an 80's Chevy. So far ordering parts from an 83' Chevy 1 ton has yielded good results, however as I'm rebuilding the steering knuckle, I'm left wondering what's up with these big gaps (see photos)
At some unfortunate portion of this trucks life, some meth heads must have had it and did some wonky ass things, so just "comparing" what has come off to what new stuff will go on hasn't always been correct
Looking at this "gap" compared to the new gasket makes me wonder if I'm straight up missing pieces, or of I'm supposed to fill these voids with silicone gasket material (rtv etc). Any help or advice is welcome, please and thank you
