Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Hey Al, Sorry if I you mentioned it elsewhere already, but are you running a 67-70 diff or 71-72 diff?
I'm hoping the 20x10 w/5" b.s. will fit my 71 with my porterbuilt t/a rear and narrow 67-70 diff.

Jason

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Hey Jason
As far as I know I am running the 71-72 rr diff as I never changed it since I own the truck I did rebuild everything on it and installed an eaton posi unit.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Lights are nice touch. I was looking at the dash of your truck in the first part of the thread. Your truck used to be light yellow. That was the same color my truck was. Kind of funny.

the truck was ochre and white but someone decided many moons ago to paint it black and white which I love also. seems like that ochre color combo was very popular back then as I remember a neighbor from when I was a kid his truck was that combo also.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Great morning here in the (305) Miami 55 and sunny....Had to take the mistress out for a ride to the shop. She is driving really good so far no issues with anything.

As I pulled out of my neighborhood and got to the first traffic light this lady pulls up besides me and starts screaming at me so I finally realized that she was trying to get my attention so i lowered my window and she says "Oh My God is Gorgeous" so I asked me or the truck we both laughed I thanked her and drove on.
