Re: My 1963 K20 Stepside - Going to be lots of questions ....

I'm having a slight crisis of conscience with the starting stage of this project. Part of me says to do the minimal required to get it on the road and driving. That would mean brakes/parking brake rebuild, some slight electrical, and a speedometer cable.

But when I start poking around, I think, if I'm going to be working on the brakes, I might as well tear the hubs down and do new bearings, grease, and seals. Then I start thinking if I'm working on the axles, then I should open the differentials and putting in new gear oil and seals. And if I start going down that road, maybe pull the transfer case and make sure it's full of oil and not leaking....

What would you do? Bare minimum and fix stuff as they become broken/a problem? Or be proactive and start rebuilding from the bottom up?
