Re: '78 K20 to C10. Almost 20 years in the making.

Finally got some time today with a buddy to get some rear end work done. I had bought a TrueTrac and some 3.73's around xmas to install and finally did that today. My buddy has done several gear setups so we knocked it out today. Spent about 6 hrs in all.

I had purchased setup bearings for the pinion which made our lives a lot easier. We got it just as we wanted the 3rd attempt. I purchased a 20ton press from Harbor Freight to press the bearing on. Always need new tools right?

Anyways its in and running. Put about 10 miles on it for breakin. The truck didn't run so hot with the fresh tune and new intake, etc. I checked everything over and went back out and it seems to have learned a bit more. Ill get it back on the road soon and run some logs and go from there. I'm considering taking it to a tuner to have it do some real work on it.
