Fix the '66: Build Thread
Hey all,
I acquired my dream truck and am kicking off the build! It is a mostly stock, mostly rust free 1966 K10 with amazing patina! I bought the truck along with a set of axles form a 1979 K30 (Dana 60 and 14FF). The plan is 5.3L, SM465, and NP205. I have the engine, transmission, and transfer case ready to go, I just need to decide on an induction system. I am leaning towards a Holley Truck Avenger just to scratch the itch. I have a CJ7 with an LS that I run the stock EFI on, so I dont want to do the same thing over again with the '66. I started an instagram to document the build as well. The handle is @fixthe66 As soon as I figure out how to add photos, I will post them! |

Re: Fix the '66: Build Thread
I think I figured out pictures, the files were too large. I am going to try to post a bunch to catch up!

Re: Fix the '66: Build Thread
Here is the 305A. I got it running and listed for sale. Since it is not original to the truck, I am going to swap in a better engine for my application.

Both studs as well as the spring pin were broken off in the Dana 60. Using various methods, I got them all out!

Cool, can't wait to see another 4x4 build on here. Give me some extra motivation for mine.

Re: Fix the '66: Build Thread
I pulled off the old steering box and installed the Captain Fab steering box bracket. I tried to copy the geometry from aotte1 but the brackets on my frame made me mount about 1" further back. Hopefully I can deal with that using the drag link adjustment.
