Dino Driver---I have one just sitting in the box, but thanks. I also have a pto on my trans and hope my gears look ok.

Re: 61K10 build
 

well it's out, gonna be fun putting it back in lol! gears look about what 50+ yrs old gears should look like. Doesn't look like it's ever been apart, so new bearings and syncros and back in it goes.

Re: 61K10 build
 

Hey Kimble atleast you didn't have to pull the transfercase too...

Re: 61K10 build
 

Randy--It was bad enough as it was, and like you said they are never done lol.

Re: 61K10 build
 

well trans is back in and shifts much smoother and is quiet in 4th gear. no leaks either!! Put a Borgenson power steering pump flow kit (to reduce pressure from pump to box) steering has much more feel by reducing the pump pressure, not as touchy. got some 16x6 rims for some skinny's from etrailer. they are for a trailer kinda like a smoothie rim but have nubs for a huge hub cap that i won't be using. their made for 1/2" lug studs but it looks like 7'16" will work as i have some heavy duty lugs. will need longer studs though.Iit never ends lol!

Re: 61K10 build
 

Looking good Kimble Can't wait to see the skinnys mounted.

Re: 61K10 build
 

they will be similar to yours Randy.

Re: 61K10 build
 

Lookin good kimble! I may just have to yank my trans and rebuild it myself

Re: 61K10 build
 

actually they are pretty easy. never had a sm420 apart before. rebuilt car 3 and 4sp and t350's when i was drag racing. the sm420 is just heavy.

Re: 61K10 build
 

Great progress!!!!!

Re: 61K10 build
 

I'm waiting on those Skinny's.....

Re: 61K10 build
 

Kimble, you should drive the truck down here this weekend to visit your daughter and attend the Brother's truck show so that I can check out your pickup!

Re: 61K10 build
 

why do Yall have to live sooooooooo far away....

Re: 61K10 build
 

Jason--Not this weekend without AIR---Plus you guy's are on fire down there! Randy--I can drive to Nevada in 1hr and 15 minutes but to get to S calif it's 380mi. could only guess it would take my truck to get there. I guess if more of these tk's where built there would be more close to all of us lol. skinny's will be later.

Re: 61K10 build
 

Come on Kimble! Its called 2-65 cooling... 2 windows at 65 mph! :)

Re: 61K10 build
 

Jason--Remember my age! I don't drink and drive and i can't go that long without my Wiser lol!

Re: 61K10 build
 

Of course you don't drink and drive kimble. You always pull over and finish it. :lol:

Re: 61K10 build
 

Haven't did anything on the tk for awhile. need to put some 3.31 gears in the ft axle. been busy re-doing our kitchen cabinets. Wife hated the old ones. couple of pics-- old (dark ones) and new, and me in the corner of my veggie garden.

Re: 61K10 build
 

You need to be in the garage turning wrenches not sitting in the shade with a cool drink.:chevy:

Re: 61K10 build
 

Wow, the cabinets look great! And you look like you're enjoying yourself in the garden.

Re: 61K10 build
 

Wow what a difference those cabinets make. Looks good I like the natural wood look...
Looks like your taking it easy....

Re: 61K10 build
 

Funny Randy C--kinda like tk progress--bath rooms next. my cool drink keeps this old man going, just a corner of the G--sure wish you guy's were closer----take care guy's.
