Re: 1971 C/10 to K/30 Conversion

Well, I know I have been absent for a while but dont worry I have been keeping busy with the family and the truck has not been neglected.

The dana 60 is finished, I changed all the wheel bearings and seals, during the axle shaft u joint replacement, the shaft slipped a little and my shop press damaged the u joint yoke on the axle shaft. I ordered a replacement long side axle shaft from http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/ it is a genuine Spicer brand and it is .250" larger diameter than the original one!!

I was just about to put the diff cover back on, and I just couldnt help myself. I broke down and ordered a spartan locker unit for the carrier. If im going this far into the build, I might as well make it a fully functional 4x4 with lockers front and rear.

I will try to do the axle swap soon, But I have a 4 month old son, the rain just started and I still need to change the rack & Pinion in the wife's toyota camry. I will stay on track. the next project is to rebuild the NP205. more updates will come soon.

Thanks for the support guys.
