Man Kimble, you read my mind. I do have a moving blanket that I throw under the truck when Im under it (which had been frequently lately) that helps a little. Just takes a little longer getting out from under it these days. Im usually under it in at least 10 minute stretches if not longer now. Even if Im just measuring or trying to get an idea of how to fab something Ive been known to lay under it for 20 minutes getting the motivation to get up
. The wife comes these days not to see what I'm working on but to see if I'm asleep.
Couple of pics. First is the " whats not right about this picture?"
Second is the progress at the moment. I think it looks pretty good.
New ball joints, 1 driver's side 10 bolt knuckle, inner axle and outer wheel seals, Warn hubs, Spicer sealed axle u joints, new Timken carrier bearings and pinion seal, Ruff Stuff 2 deg shims and spring center bolts, Tuff Country axle u bolts, Torrington spindle / outer axle bearings. New drag link and Dana 60 tie rod.
The 52" - 7 leaf pack is a combination of the top 3 '73 K10 leafs and the bottom 4 from the original rear leaf packs that came on the truck. Brass wire brushed, washed, primed and painted. We'll see how this works out for ride, stability and God forbid more cracked springs.
