    Cluster Compatibility...

    Dumb question coming. My '77 has a tach cluster, but all I can find in good condition is the large fuel guage with the blank out. I assume that the wiring harness is the same among all square bodies, so these should be interchangeable? Not to concerned about the tach until I go for full...

    Factory setup questions about rear springs and leveling...

    My C10 sits higher in the rear, looks like there was 8 pack leaf springs in the rear. Keyword "was" because some of the leafs have snapped in half. I see there are 4, 6 and 8 leaf replacement springs. I assume the 4 leaf is the bone stock? In a bone stock configuration the truck should sit...

    12 Bolt Diff w/ LS, pinion stud issues

    Ask and ye shall receive. In adjusting the brakes I was able to spin the axles without binding or issues so I think I'm safe. The S.

    I got that &$@%# pin in today. Now I can finish up my brake job. Just hope the chip I took out doesn't haunt me.... :whymewhyme: The S.

    The frame is in great condition, the tins are good the cab corners are pure plastic. The floor and rockers were replaced but poorly done and should be replaced. The firewall is rusty but solid. Gapping all around could use some rehanging. The engine runs smooth, but smokes on start or under...

    12 Bolt Diff w/ LS, pinion stud issues

    I just read you post again. I'm referencing the larger spider gears that the axle goes through. The S.

    12 Bolt Diff w/ LS, pinion stud issues

    Sorry I'm not up on the laymans terms ;) I RTFM'd it and that was the name in the diagram/parts list. So that's cool, after taking this image I have the shaft almost "home". In trying to pry it in I chipped the bearing race (?) that the large spider gear sits in, will that be an issue? Much...

    12 Bolt Diff w/ LS, pinion stud issues

    This will probably explain the headache better.... I just don't want to jam tools to finagle the plates into alignment and damage gears as a result. The S.

    ...prefer to go by my handle for privacy reasons (work). I'm into prewar cars, and wartime jeeps. I recently picked up a '77 C10 for work around my house. Eventually I'd like to do a frame off, and mild motor build with an Edelbrock top end. The S.

    12 Bolt Diff w/ LS, pinion stud issues

    I recently picked up a '77 C10, to use as a dump running truck while I renovate my house (and eventual project). Part of getting it road worthy I replaced almost everything with the brakes, and I decided it was a good idea (at the time...) to replace the rear seals and bearings. The pinion...
