I didn't know that. Looks like TK has owned them since 1988.

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
Thanks for the pointers guys. Was actually able to get a made in the USA replacement from Napa. Inter web said my store didn't have one but the parts guy made some magic happen and it bolted right in.
Tie Rod went in easily. Drag link is being a PITA. It almost looks like it has a cone washer. Anybody know a trick? Factory service manual is less than helpful. Get a big hammer and hit it with a little hammer...

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
Got the drag link installed last night. No cone washer. Just keep beating on it and lots of pb blaster... Exhaust shop scheduled for next Thursday.
Appreciate the info on Bilstein. I am going to run the Napa one for the time being.

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
Going to have the shop connect my header collectors to the y-pipe. Noting too exciting. Going to change the routing slightly though so I can change my fuel filter in the future.

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
Coming along, seeing you replace the drag link / tie rod makes me feel like I need to replace all of my steering parts in the K10. I'm not sure if it's all worn out or it's just a 30 year old solid axle truck!

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
Marcus,
I just went back through reading this thread. I was wondering if you could give me more info on the duplicolor paint you used on the floor and speaker brackets? I belive tge grey on my truck is the same color as yours.

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
Yep I'll do some searching tonight and see if I can come up with a part number. It has held up well.

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
Dirty Larry told me I was a punk for not checking out this awesome thread before. I've always trusted Larry's advice, and it was another home run.
Your work is awesome and the build sheet only gets better with every new page. If you want to sell at any point the lady and I are always looking for an excuse to come back to AK! Fantastic! |

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
Hahaha thanks Ryan. I think my wife would kill me if I sold it after all this work. You will LOVE the bbc I. Front of a 4l80e. Great combo. I'm dying to put some miles on mine now they it is tuned.
It has been in exhaust jail for almost two weeks. Hopefully I will get it back early next week. This time away from the crew cab has me pacing around the plow truck making plans.

That thing is sweet too! I think a turbo on a 292 would be kind of neat...

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
there just milking it
it simply doesnt happen in the netherlands , you need to make an apointment for a custom exhaust say 2 or 3 days in advance but they build it while you wait at the reception area be done in about one or two hours drive in and drive out

i got a job again and having fun at it too idea's for the trucks and the order of things to do are taking shape and get closer to being realized , a few more months and i be able to start building for real i complete 2 of the trucks intoo running fashion one custom and one basicly stock the thirth will be sacrificed for parts |

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
Finally got the truck back on Thursday. Friday I got a call saying don't drive your truck, the passenger side wheel bearing is toast and has a ton of play. I had asked them to look through the front end and picked up the truck without talking to the mechanic. Sure enough I jacked it up and there was about 3/4" of slop at the hub. I started to disassemble expecting mass carnage. Not very encouraging when I popped the hub selector off.

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
The spindle jam nut was super tight, lock washer was not engaged to the pin on the spindle nut, and spindle nut was finger loose. Grease looked great. My guess is the lock washer was put in crooked, bound up and never reached the spindle nut. Must have just come loose recently because there was absolutely zero damage. I elected to reuse the timken bearings that where in it instead of the Chinese ones Napa had. Properly installed now.

Re: 1991 V3500 Project Heavy Hauler
Ain't that the truth! They were two weeks out on any time to work on it. I wrapped up the passenger side today. Figured I had better check the drivers too. Loose. Pulled the hub out and it was shot. Damn snowballing projects. Those splines are not supposed to be beveled.
