    Missing sway bar bolts. Anyone know what size they are?

    I like the idea of the sway bar correction and disconnect system from ORD, I can't quite visualize how this kit will fit on my 86 K20 truck. If both ends of the sway bar are bolted to the leaf pack top plate, what good are the disconnect pins? how does the sway bar connect to the new swing...

    Dana 60 front axle

    Thanks for the replies, yes, my 78 has a Dana 44. I wanted a Dana 60 in my last build and wished I would have done it, so this build is getting it. So, I can purchase a dually front axle and swap out the dually adapter for a single hub. That might work for me for finding a Dana 60 single for the...

    205?

    After a little more research I now know for sure my 78 K20 has a TH350-203 transfer case setup. The front axel has warn manual locking hubs, the only way to get the truck to move is to lock in the hubs which is contradicting to what I've been told about it being converted to part time. If it was...

    205?

    I've recently purchased a 1978 K20 and I am thinking about changing out the 203 full time transfer case to a 205. The truck is a 350 with a 350 transmission, what 205 will fit? what is a 205 figure 8? What spline count should I be looking for? Will a adaptor plate be needed? Thanks in advance.
