The wheels need some white paint before you get too excited.

So Rich and I made some decent progess yesterday. We only worked for about 3 hours because it was my dad's birthday and we were going out to dinner. We got the rear ten bolt out and got the 14 bolt in place. We're heading back down today to hopefully get the outers swapped out up front and get the front end back together. Hopefully by tonight she's moving under her own power again. Just need gear oil, brake lines, and a conversion u joint to finish up the rear.

Couple more of the axle in and tires on

Sweet! What gears do the new rears have?

Also, that yellow diff cover will allow you to make over the trail 5 hill climb!

Yeah, there are two different styles of studs apparently for an 80's K20. Should checked before hand, but I am getting the right ones tomorrow.


The rear end is 85% done- just have to change my rubber brake line, put gear oil in it, and get a coversion joint. Front hubs have all new bearings and seals, just waiting on the lug studs. I am hoping to drive the truck home tomorrow night.
