I think I will just reweld the perches and put the M1008 14ff in instead of setting up the gears to put in my 14ff. I will put my 14ff in the M1008 which has 3.73's and a detroit, then buy a matching D44 8 lug and call it good. I took her for a drive after work and the tranny feels strong. It shifts into second a little hard, but downshifts nicely. The engine runs strong, but of course lacks the raw power of the 350 in my K5.
I kind of like the idea of keeping the truck instead of selling it, but who knows what will happen.
Now I have to get some high steer, locker and rock ring for the 60 and call it good
I think I will just get a lockright from reading some posts here on Ck5.
It will be sad to part with the D44 in the K5 since it has taken such a beating over time with only one OX ujoint failure in the last 2 years. Pretty impressive
BTW, the Dana44 from the K5 will be traded for a Warn 8274 winch
Bonus!!
Man that's a killer deal. I wish I could make it to the Bash this year, I have a feeling your truck is going to be a completely different animal!
