68 panel 4x4 K10
Picked up an original 68 4x4 k10 panel truck. PO dismantled in 1977 I guess to restore. The left side closed knuckle is completely apart . I guess to put new seals which are still in gm packaging. I've never worked on these closed knuckles and wondering if anyone can come up with assembly link. Trying to keep this original for now as latest info is they only made 69 panels in 1968 and only 5 were 4x4. I'd say thats pretty rare
 Thanks.......Rick

Re: 68 panel 4x4 K10
That sounds like a great find! I can't believe only 69 Panels were made in '68,total. Were is that info from? I think I have seen over 1/2 of those.

If you post your email address I will send you a Spicer Axle maintenance manual that includes the closed knuckle design.

Re: 68 panel 4x4 K10
John, thanks for the info. I thought 5 was pretty low myself. Although 89 was correct for 1/2 ton 4x4 total 67-68 panels. Someone forgot to add in 2wd's lol. Working with argonaut to post pic's. It's partially dismantled like when I got it........Rick
