Re: 71' K10 4x4 SWB project "North to Alaska"

This is how she sits today. I am waiting for a rear ring and pinion, and the front Detroit Truetrac and I should have her together in a couple of weeks sans any problems.

I have fired and set the timing on the ramjet and it seems to run great. As the the fuel pump in the cab, you can hear it prime barely before the engine fires but then I can't here any noise from it.

Hopefully my parts show up and I can get the front end completely done with new ball joints, tie rod ends, bearings, seals, diff ect... over the course of the next few weekends, as well as button up the rear. Then I can drive her again, and its almost time for all the snow to melt up here so not a second too soon.

I also included a pic of the stock axle shafts on the left compared to the 73+ 297x ones I'm using on the right so people can see the differences. I didn't know the older 72 and prior ones necked down so small the whole length. That's Dana 30 size!!
