Re: Project “Blue Bomb” (rebirth of a 1970 c30)

Got the HO72 brakes and inner hub seals replaced. The gears and bearings/races look fantastic, as expected given this truck only has 98k miles (they look good to me at least, no scoring or gouges??). I’m gonna do the pinion seal after I get it back in the truck, I think it might be easier to wrench on it.

Question: I have a fel-pro diff cover gasket. It’s some kind of molded material. I searched the site and it seems most of people go with rtv. I want to use the gasket. I cleaned the surfaces real good, and plan to just bolt it in. Anyone have experience to share?
