    Steering Column Swap

    After reading RetroC10Sport's killer post, I wonder how these columns are identified. For example, I need a 238-237A. Will this be stamped on the column? I've searched the numbers and get nothing pertinent. I'm looking to put a tilt wheel in my '73 K-10 and do not want a column that's longer...

    NP205 Driven gear

    What seals this from the inside? Rubber o-rings? Flat nylon? Pressure fit? It appears to have place for seal, but mine has none. The search window, as usual produced nothing, so I'm asking anyone who might know. -Thanks

    Cleaning up my Dana 44 front and found a bondo like substance on the driver side of the carrier. It was about the size of a quarter and on a casting. It was light color and had a stubborn green paint like substance mixed in. Hard to believe that it belonged there so I removed it. Green stains on...

    79 K-10 parts on my 73

    I've been picking a 79 for parts and I wonder if the front and rear leaf springs will work on my '73. I believe the 73 to be stock with two leaves in front, but I actually have 8 in the rear. They're not in the greatest condition, but I like how the truck sits. Do the 79 fronts have different...

    Dana 44 Axel bearings?

    Been trying to get this front end cleaned up and it's been humbling. My current issue is the right side axle. I pulled it out to inspect and clean and upon reassembly, it seems to turn rough. Hearing some metal on metal. I put it in dry, should I grease it up? The knuckle rubs on the tube and I...

    Front outer races not press fit on '73 K-10

    Got what I believe to be small bearing front hubs and the outer races on both sides are loose enough to fit by hand. Inners are perfectly snug. I'm using Timken set 45's and Set 37's. Has this happened to anyone? Should I be worried? Any short term fixes? I'd love to hear any and all info.

    Hi, I'm so cramped against the steering wheel. I'm wondering what seats work for conversion. Has anyone had any luck with swap-outs from other models or aftermarket? Hoping to get something from the junkyard... -Thanks, TJ

    12 Bolt Pinion Bearing Pre-Load

    When I went to change the pinion seal, the pinion nut was finger tight. I planned on using my torque wrench to get an idea of where it was at, but now have to guess. Wheels are on the truck and I have no plans to remove them or the axles. I'd like to get it as close as possible for the time...

    I've had a few disagreements about this hood being OEM. The front detail is the point of contention. I say that it is an aftermarket design. Can anyone verify?
