Re: Ultimate work truck/ 70 K10 diesel
I swear I had good intentions..........
The crossbar on my transfer case had some play in it and I wanted to tighten it up. I took the crossbar out, and drilled out the holes in the shift rails for bigger pins. However, when I tried to drill out the crossbar, it is so hard it actually ground down my drill bit. So now, the holes in my shift rails are 3/8", and the crossbar holes are 5/16". So my options are to disassemble my transfer case and track down some other stock rails, or twin stick it. I'm leaning towards twin sticks.

Re: Ultimate work truck/ 70 K10 diesel
I'm almost done with the shifters. I had it basically done, but i realized it was gonna hit the floor so I had to redesign it. I'll post some pics soon.

Re: Ultimate work truck/ 70 K10 diesel
Got some progress to report on my TC shifters. I set the cab back on to make sure of clearances.
    Work has been really slow. I've been part timing at a fab shop with a waterjet. I drew these Dodge valve cover spacers on Autocad and cut them out of 1/4" aluminum.  Pretty cool what you can do with a waterjet. If anybody needs anything cut, PM me and I'll get you a quote. If I can draw it in Autocad, I can cut it. |

Re: Ultimate work truck/ 70 K10 diesel
I love the fab skills you got!
By the way... I just put one and one together and got 3500. I'm curious to see how long that NV3500 lasts. In 150K miles Mine was rebuilt twice... and that was behind a 350. The 3rd time it went out I replaced it with a NV4500. The 3500 did shift smooth though...

Re: Ultimate work truck/ 70 K10 diesel
yeah we'll see. The 3500 cost me $150 and I like the gear spread better than the 4500. If the 3500 doesn't work out I would rather find a Tremec TKO than the 4500.
