pics--old needle bearing in hub and new bushing in hub

brake line on driver's side (you can see my frame is not blasted perfect) I did the best i could with my little blasted.

I need my skinny tires!
Hey Kimble I love following this tread! I look forward to starting on my K10. First I want to do a few thinks to my K20 Burb to make it a little more friendly to drive daily.
First is disc brakes. What bushing did you use? I'd rather not turn down my axles.
Second, why did the track change on the truck? I was under the impression that by converting the closed knuckle 44 the width stayed the same. This is why I've never considered an open knuckle 44 as they are wider.
Keep up the strong work, you motivate more people than you know!
