Here are some pics of the front 10 bolt and rear 14 bolt rebuilds. Both are from a '78 K20.

Front Corporate 10 bolt 8 lug w/ 8.5" ring gear. 3.73 open
This is the "newer" style with the internal/one-piece hub and rotor.

Ring and pinion were in great shape. I replaced both axle shaft u-joints, all 4 ball joints, inner wheel seals, spindle bearings and seals. Repacked all the wheel bearings and lubed the Superwinch lockers. Had the rotors cut for free at the tech school I just graduated from and got some new medium-duty semi-metallic pads. All old gear oil was flushed out and refilled with fresh 80w90. Axle housing, knuckles, backing plates, calipers, etc. all have been painted and reassembly of the front end is almost complete.
