Well I know it been a long time since I posted on this thread as I have had limited time to work on it. But I got the old studs out via welder and I am about to put the new studs in. I've heard the way to do it is to just put some loctite on the studs and snug them down. Is this correct? Anyone...
Hey everyone, this weekend 2 of 3 of the studs on my steering knuckle sheared off in my steering arm. So now I gotta get them out. My truck is on my street and I dont have a lot of tools so I need to take it to my friends shop. Is it possible to take the whole rotor/hub/knuckle assembly out as...

Hey guys, got the 4 inch RC lift on the truck finally, but the front drive line is about an inch too short fully extended. Does anyone know of an aftermarket driveshaft or spacer for a 1977 k10? I would prefer not to have to go to a shop.
