Re: 1966 C10 Daily Driver

Got back from a wedding out of town yesterday. And measured out the entire rear end housing. It's not perfect, but it's darn near close.

I started to assemble the rear today and had an odd pattern. It was too far to the heel on the drive side and to much toe on the coast. It took me a minute to realized what had happened; I forgot to put the pinion shims in. The real bad part was I was out of marking compound. After I took these pics. I ripped it apart and put the shims in and it looked okay. I ordered some more marking compound and will do a final assembly later this week. Here is pics of a .025" too shallow pinion:
