What Black Diff Covers Are Popular Here?
The 72 K10 I just bought has cheap-a$$ chrome diff covers. I want to put some plain black ones back on. What brand are most guys here using on this forum, and where's the best place to order them?

I looked for a while to find a stock one. I finally picked one up that the owner sand blasted for me. Then I finished it with primer and POR 15 top coat and it turned out great.

I agree. OEM the way to go. Especially on the front 44 where they are extra thick to keep from bashing into the ring gear.

Re: What Black Diff Covers Are Popular Here?
I'd love the OEM covers, and don't mind restoring them, but I don't know where to find them. Been searching the internet for a couple days.
Same with steelies. I thought these parts would be everywhere for these trucks. Boy was I wrong. |

Re: What Black Diff Covers Are Popular Here?
Dana Spicer? Thanks. Just Googled their number. I'll call.
This is my first classic truck restoration. All my experience is in air-cooled Porsches. I'm really starting from zero on this 72 K10. |
