Thanks.. Have you ever seen it cause u joint failure in ~1000 miles? Maybe I should not say failure.. it still worked, but it did burn up the needle bearings..

Re: Crash's 69 K10
That's definitely a premature death. Good luck finding a yoke.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
I have seen it happen twice now and not ptiing down your work by any means but the out of three I have seen 2 of them were not installed correctly and the u joint cup was not totally in the pocket and the u joint cap was tightened down so it never sat flush with both sides down, the 3rd on had too much play in the yoke and just a bit wore out so the u joint would actually slide back and forth and hit one side then slide the other way until the tab broke off other than that the only thing would actually be that maybe a needle bearing was out of place or damaged per factory, as defective.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Dang that yoke is beat up a little bit, I have been known to shred some U joints in a previous vehicle but that was because I had a bad pinion bearing and thought it was a bad U joints causing the problem. Well I was the one causing the problem doing too many burn outs back in the day...

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Great looking truck it sure turned out nice congrats.. It only took me about a week to get through the whole build thread.. I'm not sure if its just the pics or my anal retentiveness but you may wanna swap the reverse lenses from side to side to see if they fit better

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Time for a little update.. Last week I finished up all of the steering and suspension work. I think it is as good as it is going to get. It drives and steers very nice.. it is still a bumpy ride, but that is to be expected…
I installed a 2” drop steering arm.. this leveled the drag link, and eliminated the bump steer that I had. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I also went ahead and installed new tie rod ends, I had originally re-used the old one because they felt tight (and also because the new ones are so expensive ![]() ![]() Next I installed a sway bar off of later model 4x4.. I built the brackets instead of replacing the front crossmember. This really made a lot of difference… ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Crash's 69 K10
This week I installed some badging.. Kyle recommended that I use barrel nuts to easy the installation pains.. I decided I didn’t want to wait, after a few hours I finally got them installed. I will most likely use the barrel nuts in the future

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Thanks Steve.. I think so as well.. Need to get the seats done, have Kyle finish his magic when he gets some time.. take it to a car show or two.. and then drive the hell out of it. We drove it over 250 miles today.. it is so much fun..
With that said, I am looking for my next project.. keep a eye out for a 67-69 Camaro for me..

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Wow the truck turned out awesome , Congrats and enjoy the ride, just wondering on your steering box setup, does the 77-79 gear box bolt rite in or needs mod, as I find the same with my stock one ,is way to loose and would like a tighter feel
Thanks really enjoyed watching your project

Every thing bolts up except for the steering coupler (rag Joint). You will need one from the same year.

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Thanks Mark , will track one down and update , I belive the wild horse ride u experience is very much from the short wheel base of truck and no weight to the truck either , mine is the same , I would like to ride in a stock 4x4 suspension setup and see how much difference there is, screamin did one hell of a job on that paint
Cheers Lloyd

Re: Crash's 69 K10
Crash
Did you use the original tie rods from the pitman arm to the steering knuckle? I have the same lift kit on the truck I am building and I ordered the same drop pitman arm, but the stock tie rods that I ordered do not work. They are too long and will never line up. |
