Rebuild gearbox?
I have a 71 C10 should I rebuild the gear box or just buy a new one and replace it?

Re: Rebuild gearbox?
Rebuilt mine and would do it again in a heartbeat. Be sure to run the numbers on the box to get the right kit. Some boxes have different diameter shafts inside and require certain kits.

Re: Rebuild gearbox?
Is it very difficult to do and how long would it take?

Re: Rebuild gearbox?
Are you referring to an SM465? Or do you have a different gearbox in your truck?
Novak is a good source for parts. https://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledg...ssions/manual/

Re: Rebuild gearbox?
You need a couple special tools (pin spanner, low scale in/lb torque wrench, and a good unit service manual).
Also attention to detail is important.
