Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Hey Big Al ,can you point me to a post on this build as to how you mounted your ac pump down low? Mine is a 350 block and anything to hide the hoses would be nice. I'm guessing here that you do away with the fuel pump. I'm using a Sanden. Thanks

Here are a few picts that show where my compressor is which is also a Sanden but polished. I still have the fuel pump in the same location on the side of the block. I bought the brackets and pulley set from March Pulleys. I can get you a part number if interested. My a/c is from Classic auto air, the a/c lines were extended and ran thru the passenger side fender...

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
So does it work? It seems the service ports are on the bottom or towards the block. If you look at my thread you can see what I have before I changed my mind to go shaved. Yours is neat Just for a mind bender I,m trying to come up with a chain drive alternator off the crank. Seems in the book the ports are to be up.

Thanks guys!!!! I drove it home a few hours ago and picked up my company demo as I have a meeting tonight @ 7:00pm and did not want to leave it parked out in the open where I am going just in case someone decides they want it more than I do or getting it dented in an open area where I wont be near it. The ride home was great Hot Sun out in full force and I had to put the a/c in low as I was getting too cold the tints helped alot.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
As I continue to improve things on my truck with the help of Hart_Rod (Rob) by giving me the links of what he used in his (farmtruck) I ordered a new auburn posi unit with the installation kit. So next week the rear end is coming out and we will rebuild it for once and for all. Stay tuned and now back to waiting on the big brown truck, boy I tell you I spend so much time anticipating this Brown truck arrival almost every day ...

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Thanks!!!
Well the Auburn unit should be here tomorrow and the installation kit on Wednesday so it looks like we are tearing it up either thursday or friday stay tuned. Once the rear end is finished my next mission is going to be getting my four disc big brake set up. I would like to have willwoods but I dont want to spend another fortune on brakes so I am hoping that I can find a complete kit for a descent price. Today I received two new arm rest that I ordered back in December so I am taking off my originals and I am going to post them up in the classfieds for someone looking for originals. I will post some picts once I install them.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Well the day started awesome got to drive my bucket to work, cringing with all the idiot drivers around my area but i made it to the shop safe and sound. We took the differential out, press the new bearings, set the the aurburn unit and I am ready to hit the pavement. New axle seals and bearings everything is all new back there so I am done with this part of the project.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
Your truck was really nice to begin with but I love some of the touches you're adding to it. Sometimes its funner to bite off smaller pieces rather than getting into a complete rebuild... It looks like you're having fun with it. Keep up the good work.

White - brown... What does it matter as long as they're bringing truck parts to your door.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild
I always thought the limited slip rear ends were the peg legged ones and posi was twin stripes? Am I confused or am I missing something? Don't know too much about rear ends or is it open differential that is peg legged? If so what is limited slip?
