Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed

Rockwell T221


The Rockwell T 221 seals and gaskets have been replaced/ resealed. Used Permatex Gasket Maker. It works really well. Put a little bit on surfaces where the seals go, to prevent any leakage around the outside of the seals, which happens sometimes. Did install the double seals on the output/input shafts. All the seals were original from 1964. The small shifter seals were almost gone, just touch them and they came apart. The inside looked and felt good, should run a lot more. Did not clean the inside with solvent, concerned bearing could be compromised. Did drain for a day, and flushed with one quart of fresh grease. Photos of the original shaft seal below, it is a one piece double seal.

Also installing Spicer magnetic fill and drain plugs, part number 064254, they are 3/4 pipe thread .
