    4x4 wheel hub caps

    83 K10, 5.3/4L60E, not a beauty queen but a great daily driver. My "4x4" stamped tin wheel center caps were faded to gray and when I would see photos of the big-money restored trucks at auction, I liked the look of the black, orange and yellow caps. ^faded I read this thread...

    New diff carrier bearings, anybody heard of Iljin?

    '83 K10, have the front axle torn down in the garage. I regeared the rear last year (2.73 to 4.10), took out the front drive shaft until I could get to the front, which is now. The rebuild kit I bought a year ago has the wrong carrier bearings...too late to get the right ones from them. I...

    New Gears Sing a Little

    Bextreme, yep it's a 10 bolt, all new bearings, preload and backlash were within spec and the pattern and backlash were OK at multiple places. I'm going to go with Keith's fellow assembly guys and call it a happy axle. I appreciate everybody's help.

    New Gears Sing a Little

    I also want to say thanks to everybody on the forum, especially those of you who post often. You’ve been a big help for this first time square owner. I bought my 83 in Raleigh two years ago. Was born with a 305 but had a goodwrench 350 put in some years ago. I live in East Tennessee and she...

    New Gears Sing a Little

    83 K10, 31" on stock rallies, I mostly drive around town so the 2.73s weren't doing it for me. Swapped in a Motive Gear 4.10 ring & pinion set, never done that before so it was a good learning experience. Stuck with it til I got the backlash right and a decent pattern, ran it for 500 miles and...
