Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!

Alrighty, I finally got all my bearings and seals needed for the axles. Installed the rest of them tonight and am happy to see two axles installed again. I still need to weld the spring plates onto the axle once I get the engine, tranny and TC installed to set the pinion angle. Looks like the rear was raised about 1.5 - 2" from the add-a-leaf. The rear feels like a 3/4 ton now too since the spring pack is soooooo stiff. Who cares about ride quality, it's a 4x4!
