The Mistress 1982 K10 (Rockwell Mud Slut)

[82K10SBC]

The eff is a poly lock or an exhaust rocker? Sure it wasnt the muffler bearing? truck looks BAD

I was wrong a mechanic told me the blinker fluid was low and so was the halogen gas in my headlights, plus my reversers are all messed up and im going to need 2 more transmissions to get her back running

Winch Mount

Here's the winch mount Jess, its simple 3/8s plate and 7/16" hardware

That is a really nice solid mount. Good job on the fabrication!

ThanksIt was a 3am spur of the moment, night before a wheeling trip idea. I was gonna tear it off later and do something different, but I kinda like its simplicity. haha

Thanks... looks like it might be more difficult for me since I do not have a body lift.

If you clock it like you said you were going to, then you could make a spot in the bumper that you could access the engagement lever

Yah I'm going to play with it tonight see what happens.

So did it clock pretty easy?

Yes super easy. Do not do like I did. I was thinking you have to take the the planetaries out. I way over thought it, I was like there is no way just two bolts hold this thing together, but yup. Just take the two cross bars off then pull the whole side off the winch. I have the instructions if you want them.
I was going off the part by part break down.

 

[jekquistk5]

Here is what I ended up with. Kinda hard to see the bracing I added on the side and under the winch

Mine works for me in the factory setting, I was just curious. I think mine came with the instructions on how to do it

Looks great! I already used mine to pull my truck onto my trailer. Didn't even struggle with the engine not running and the alternator not charging. I was pretty impressed

 

[Deuling]

Where you been biatch???

 

[82K10SBC]

Where you been biatch???

Been being....

Lol NOT!!! But seriously, busy with work, family, and my new dirt scooter, finally washed the truck after 2 months. Haha Oh and i found my rocker arm laying in the valve cover with the poly lock, no damage but goddang to they run bad when the exhaust valves dont open

 

[THRILLBILLY]

I was beginning to wonder also, where the heck you've been!

 

[82K10SBC]

I was beginning to wonder also, where the heck you've been!

I've been an extremely busy boy, working on the wifes '93, doing a solid axle swap, building up the Cummins for towing, finishing up the trailer, riding my dirt bike and saving money for the next version of the build. Plus work and overtime, and gobs of yard work, haven't hardly even wheeled the truck since July cuz I've been so swamped.

 

[THRILLBILLY]

I hear ya! I haven't been able to do ANYTHING to mine because me and the fiance are saving money for the big day. She has however allowed me to start a Dana 60 fund so any extra money after wedding stuff, bills, groceries, etc. I get! What do you have in mind for the Mistress after your other projects are done?

NICE!! Me and the lil miss are doing a bit of the same. Well, there's a long list of upgrades for this winter, and I'm not sure I can really disclose them until I get a green light on some other stuff. Haha, all I can say is, the plans are BIG! Keeping the tons, 44s and the motor, lotta other changes though......

Awesome! I went to my parents house and got a bunch of old pictures off their computer of my truck so in the meantime of waiting for the next parts for my build I'll actually get a build thread going and quit procrastinating! got the 44's and the 14 bolt put in so now just waiting for that D60 to complete the tons, then after that its gearing, and crossover/hydro assist is the plan! But that will definitely be after the wedding!
