Score!

i was talking to my dad and he mentioned that his boss had a set of 3/4 ton axles he pulled out of his K20 and swapped them for a pair of 10 bolts (i know, its backwards). i asked him to find out what he was going to do with them. it turns out that he just flat out doesnt have a place to store them. lucky for me, i just made room by getting rid of my 82 C10. he said to make him an offer, so i offered him $150. he ended up taking it, and i am now the proud owner of a completely gone through 10 bolt corprate front, and a corprate 14FF.

That's a good find at that price. What are your plans for them?

shackle flip using a stock 2wd rear spring front hanger, and a 2wd "drop" shackle for 6" of lift out back. the front will go under a pair of 6" Skyjacker springs my buddy has. i'll in stall the TH350/203 i picked up a week and a half ago, and power it with my L31 Vortec. 35" Swamper TSLs on all 4 corners, disc brakes as well. i'll probably end up running a flatbed too.

At that price, I'd say you owe him a favor.

Sound like a great build up but if you are gonna swap everything why not trash that crap 203 and find a 205 I don't think I would ever reinstall a 203 unless it was mated to a 205 as a doubler .
