Re: Spring Swap Thread - 1963 K15
Haha, latest twist in the saga... Apparently the Dana axles have the tie rod on top of the knuckle and 10b corporate have it on the bottom. Guess which one I got to replace my driver's side that was shot? U guessed it, the 10b. Got a tie rod "flip" tapered sleeve to correct it coming tonight.
Spent last night getting those 3 SOB studs out of the old knuckle so I can mount them on the new one.
Axle is back in with my cobbled up 7 leaf spring pack. All torqued and ready to finish up.
Gonna swap the rear springs to 3/4 t on Saturday, cut the trans cross member to clear the front driveshaft and make the linkage for the t case.
......and then get the boat ready, camping gear down, packed blah, blah. Lol. Not feeling like a vacation so far. Should be fun once I'm done!
