Re: New to me 1972 K5

Got the truck to my friends shop along with all the parts I had stashed. Had to cut off the home made hitch to pull the tank. The wleded it to the rear frame rails as well as two more plated on each side. Ater that I pulled the rear bumper, fuel lines, brake lines shocks and exhaust.

I went to reassemble the front Dana 60 and ran into a problem. As far as I can tell the driver side lower bearing race / cup wasn't seated fully. When I install the knuckle and tighten everything down, its so tight I cant turn it... I'm going to have a shop reinstall that side...

I hope to pull the front clip along with the motor/trans/transfer this weekend... I'll try and take more pics...

PS: I dropped my 1 month old Droid Razr Maxx and trashed the screen... no insurance so I was happy about the progress I made till that happend...
