The Bent77 K10 now tow pig

[mrk5]

I didn't worry as much about body movement because the bed is bolted straight to the frame. I put an abrasion cover on the wire thru the bed, good heavy duty nylon stuff, and left some slack in the cable. Ultimately I'd like a battery in the bed but I'll still have to run a charging wire to it.

My original plan had been to go under the overhang of the tool box but it didn't quite fit with my box being inside the bed.

Nothing fun or exciting:



cut the perches off the rear and rotated the pinion angle down. Had a hell of a time getting the axle recentered

Pulled the front leaf spring and hole sawed the old bushing out, squished a new one back in. that also was not fun​

Maybe I missed a post but we’re you having driveline vibrations?

Short answer, yes some at 68 mph

Long answer:
When I went back and forth with the drive shafts, I never paid attention. Ended up pinion 5° over the center line of the shaft. When I pulled the shaft to do the cross over, noticed the joint at the diff needed replaced. Then the light finally came on...

How do you sleep at night knowing that your frame is that dirty?

Careful!!! Don't give him too much crap about that! This one is lots better than the old '72!

Whaaa?

FWIW @NorCal69 , it needs a serious bath in the undercarriage dept

My undercarriage needs a bath too...

That's a seriously beefy bracket for a fuel filter.

 

[frankin5]

Probably beefer than the frame.

Proud to announce after only 17 years wheeling, I can finally air up my own tires

Nice clean install. That’s my kind of adulting.
