Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
I've heard good and bad stories on fitment.. but with all the bad stories Inline Tube made it right by sending more lines and such.. Shipping was only $17 for everything so that's not bad and the guy that answered the phone really knew his stuff. He understood the issues that I would run into by adding a stock prop valve, so he advised the rear adjustable prop valve and stock distro block. Without bending lines yourself then you are only going to get "so close" if you know what I mean. I fully expect to tweak the lines a little but for $185 with all connections ready then I can't complain. He didn't try to sell me stuff that I didn't need... Pre bent SS Lines $185 adjustable prop valve $50 rear T block for axle $13 OEM clamp kit $28 plus shipping $17 Know I have everything except for rear brake hardware which will be a local purchase...

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Hi Mike, just found this thread tonight, read it all! Me and my son just picked up a new floor like yours from Jon monday. We had a nice road trip in the rain! We are getting ready to dive into it. I appreciate all the time you have spent documenting your work, its going to make it an easier job for others (us).
It sounds like the rocker/pillar/door fitting is critical. I think we will tack in as much as possible until the doors are test hung. Thanks again! chas

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
yep, tack it in... and over-support the cab in every direction...
Some guys do a better job documenting, it's hard to stop and take pics sometimes and you miss a lot of information... I try to keep up on it but could so a better job... That floor is a pretty slick piece and Jon is a good guy to deal with.. I just put a new roof on another truck this past weekend.. they don't make that piece yet...

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
picked this up off Ebay today... GMPP HEI for $90 new... cost about $250 at the dealer.. I had to donate my Mallory unit to the 69 project flip truck since I sold it's MSD parts.. The Mallory cap was to large for a 4WD anyway and was touching my firewall.. we'll see how this works.. NEW GM DISTRIBUTOR PART# 93440806

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
will do, i know that Mallory unit was 5.25 or so and the top just touched.. This should be a little better since the top doesn't have the big round cap like the Mallory did..
I know another member that has one of these for sale as well.. $125 I think. Here is my older one..it moved but you couldn't have slip a piece of paper in there!

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
I have one of those in the Blazer.. they fit better but you cant put the wire retainment ring on it... but since it doesnt appear you have one you might be golden..but there there is a BFH if it needs a little persuading..

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
I was thinking BFH as well.. or the cleaner slice and weld method to reshape that area of the firewall... gotta love 4WD's with the engine set back!

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Just ordered a power steering box/pump rebuild kit and drag link parts from rockauto.com
anyone know the difference between Spicer red-label and professional grade? Literally twice the price but I got the pro grade since a drag link is an important part and the extra $30 won't mean much when your steering falls apart! 5% off discount too so it's another $121 onto the budget (that I stopped keeping track of years ago!)

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Are Hei's that much better? I just did the pertronix points to electronic conversion with plugs/wires/HV coil and such.It is much more dependable now. The big distributor and the close firewall scared me(big paws)
