Re: 1972 K10 Ebay Truck

You are correct. I took my 70 apart and found the output shaft of the trans was worn like crazy and the coupler must have been just bouncing around in there as it was bad on both ends. I think I put a good amount of synthetic grease on my shafts of the 203-205 setup I have now. It was a long time ago.

Frame cleaned up, powertrain reinstalled, cab back on. Starting to look like a truck again!

Uhh yeah, that was an oversight on my part, the Summit manifolds have a 2 1/2 inch collector and my exhaust is 2 1/4, so I went back to stock manifolds. The Summit manifolds are up for grabs if anyone wants to pay for shipping.

Fabbed up a rectangular tube bumper and blasted and painted the rad support, inner fenders, and auxiliary fuel tanks. Put a little new art on the glove box and drug home a gently used commercial topper I found on FB Marketplace. Engine is ready to fire!

Re: 1972 K10 Ebay Truck

Engine break-in and first test drive a success! Now working on the 500 mile break-in for the engine, suspension, and rear differential gears. Installed a Warn 10,000 lb winch using the Engineered Vintage behind-the-bumper winch mount. Mounted an old Luverne brush guard I had sitting around.
