    General Spring of KC

    I didn't order springs, but I got the impression that is exactly what they do. Just ordering the u-bolts had a ton of options for me to fill in exactly the dimensions I needed, so I think they actually made the bolts to my specs. Granted, they may have had them on the shelf, as mine were pretty...

    General Spring of KC

    I had to buy some new U bolts last week for my rear diff swap on my 78 K20, and General Spring of Kansas City had what I needed. I would highly recommend these guys if you're in need of the same. Their site was easy to use, and allows you to select thickness, length, diameter, thread pitch, and...

    Rebuilding rear axle DIY?

    I just swapped my 14 bolt, but I cheated. I found another good complete rear diff with the gears I wanted, and just put new seals and outer axle bearings in it, then swapped the whole dang thing. No gear setup needed.

    What would you pay for this truck?

    I wouldn't pay anything for it. Too much work, and it's not 4 wheel drive! :p

    E-brake lever E clip - where to find them?

    O'Reilly's had a small assortment of "universal clips - none of which fit, of course! I might be able to make something work in a pinch, but I'd rather not have to. Summit didn't have any that I could find. Push come to shove, I could always use a bolt instead.

    E-brake lever E clip - where to find them?

    I need the little "E" clips that hold the e-brake lever pivot peg in place where it pokes through the rear brake shoe on my 14 bolt rear end. Anyone know where I can find them?

    14bolt FF size vs 10bolt

    The only issue I see is that the underside of your truck is way too clean. It will not function properly if it's not covered with grease and dirt. Noob.

    Clamping brake lines to axle tubes?

    What do you guys use? My tabs are broken off, and short of welding new ones on (which is a possibility) what do y'all suggest? I'd like something that is durable and doesn't look like a complete **** show. BigT

    Looks like I'm not gonna make to Portland after all, but I'm gonna try for Monroe. Kinda bummed, too, as I just found out Mortske is gonna be there, wouldn't mind saying hi.
