Re: Restomod 72 K10 "Good Memories"

94 is back on the road! My first gear change ever. Test drive showed no strange noises or issues. Guess time will tell if I did it right. Good practice for the 11.5 I will re-gear to 5.13 in the 72. My DD C1500 is a bit more responsive now with the 3.73. Speedo is 5 mph to fast at 65, will recalibrate in the AM. Thinking the gear drop will help the OD hunting issue I have had since larger tires were installed. The 3.73's actually just put it back to the same gearing as purchased new on stock tires.

A/C service call tomorrow for a friends sister. Will get back on the 72 next week. Advance adapters shipped the long female 32 spline input for the 205 quickly and it arrived today. My new Deaver rear leaf packs should be ready to pick up next week and front axle is nearing production. Parts have arrived for them and they are getting caught up. Will only take a day once they get to it.
