You'll have to change to "carburetors and drum brakes suck gargage"!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Yeah right! But I think carburetors still suck worse!!!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Some 10 bolt work, U-joints and rotors.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

More progress on the 10 bolt, inner seals and pinion seal. The inner seals were not as much trouble as I thought they were going to be, and I'm glad I replaced them.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Great job Dave! I like the effect when you're hammering in fast forward, pretty cool :)

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks old yelr! I though it sounded cool too!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

More 10 bolt work, but it's in the truck now! I spent my morning swapping tires and grabbing some lug nuts and studs from the wrecking yard!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Nice work as always. Can you get a grizzly locker for your birthday?

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks, and I'll ask ;)

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Wrapped up the 3/4 ton 10 bolt swap.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Slow progress, but did manage to get the 14 bolt pinion seal replaced and the pinion housing sealed up. I broke a bolt for the pinion housing, but it didn't give me too much of an issue.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

More 14 bolt work, whoever put the hub seal in backwards made this a greasy nasty job(Thanks man!)

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

This poor old truck has been sitting around feeling neglected. Figured I would take her for a spin, set the fuel gauge (that will someday be mounted in the cluster) and hit a quick trail. Pics and a video.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Nice. Good to see it out cruising. That's a fancy gauge.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Looking strong! I like the twin stick stuff, Ill be digging into that when I rebuild the 205.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I really appreciate the footage you shot on that trail ride. I am a Louisiana guy, never been out west.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Dave,

Love the truck and your videos. It took me two complete evenings to go through them all but I enjoyed every one of them. I started to watch one of them without the headphones this evening but quickly had to plug them back in. Love the sound effects and the editing. :metal: :metal:

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks, I dig the gauge for the price and adjustability it's awesome!

Not a problem, I hope to have more soon, thank for the support!

Thanks, your truck build is looking great so far!

I appreciate it, I hope to have more updates soon. Thanks for watching!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

I have been doing a little work on K10, Got the park brake situated, axle vents, and a trail ride.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Love the off-roading video Dave! Beautiful scenery and the cave was really cool!! I wonder if anybody was ever ambushed from that cave bad in the old west days!

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. You never know about the wild wild west lol. The cave was awesome to check out!


More work on the K10 :)

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Looking good! Fun trail ride. I like how you get your hood to pop up. I use the same technique.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Thanks Marcus, that is a tried and true technique of opening square body hoods, hell it's the only way i know lol.

More work on the truck, getting it ready for a wheelin trip tonight. Got the CB antenna mounted better, some rock lights and a few other things.

Wheelin video from last night in Nelson, NV. The K10 did awesome even with open diffs, I was diggin the extra wheelbase and slightly lower gear ratio of the 4:11's. It idled up most everything with ease.

Re: 84 K10 Custom Deluxe 5.3 build
 

Nice work as usual. :metal: :metal:
