Took me longer to type the question than it did to fit the upper ujoint and figure it out! The long set screw does indeed fit through were the upper bolt hole is on the column side. Will cut 9" off the tube tomorrow which will give me about 4.5" of collapse similar to the oem shaft. Then again...

Still in the midst of my frame up resto! Beauty of a frame off restoration is that once the frame and parts are blasted and painted it's really hard to bolt any rusty crap back on the truck! My steering shaft was very ugly, rag joint wasted. Perusing the web, jeep shafts (used were expensive)...

Stan, It's called learning, not stupid! If you do put in non-grease-able joints make sure you add some grease in the cross and cups. A lot of joints, bearings, etc come new with not much grease in them. Gone so far as to pull seals from new bearings and add grease. Not sure if they're saving...

Seeing as how i was a 63b (mechanic) before computers i might have a clue....haha Go the the 34p TM! The 20p is organizational!

Also axles on ebay, search using the spicer part number above!.... Maybe i should be down in the garage working on my truck instead of surfing the net

Outer stub bearing kit with seals: National SBK-3 Spicer greaseable ujoint: SPL55-4X Dennys below has all the right parts. For future dig into the tms (p series) for GM part numbers and diagrams! https://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/c716_dana_60_front_chevy.html I'm fairly familiar with this...

Dust shield presses on outer stub and probably got destroyed (maybe not?) It's just tin, maybe able to straighten as may not be real easy to source

spicer # (from CUCV 34p) 660182-6 Inner wheel bearing seal and tub o grease. Should clean and pack bearings while you're in there! don't believe NAPA will be the source! Just used their pro-link and part doesn't show up. but worth a try...

Lot of things i would have welded, but inner axle probably isn't one of them! Too much work to get in there to half step it!!!! not sure if these are correct, but.... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/spz-35125/overview/ https://www.summitracing.com/parts/gta-97-2034-010/overview/...

Ahh, looked up the DL number op stated.... Duralast (aka never last). Autozone stuff, bottom of the barrel! Better off buying used or anything and finding an old timer that can do them correctly. I was referred to a gentlemen working out of a falling down building locally when i had issues...

Fusible link? Ignition switch? Fact that blower stopped working is probably part of the clue? No charge wouldn't cause heater no spin!! Gen 1 and blower motor are somehow on the same circuit.... Looking at wiring diagrams top fuse is heater, believe that power comes from ignition switch. On my...

Do NOT use fuel line... Gates makes transmission rubber hose, 27058 for the 5/16. We usaully get it in the 3 foot blister pack. Rated for temp and pressure. Fuel line will work for a while, then it won't! I'm in the middle of running new steel lines, but not sure if the factory cucv stuff is...

Google 27si alternator pulley, easily/readily available! Not quite the same, but, my very hi-po SBC would throw belts occasionally and or squeal a little if really run hard. Alignment was good, motor would just spin up too fast. Bought an aftermarket solid pulley which was a little deeper...

AMSCO Valley Forge out of NY. Wholesale to shops only, but we use them for oddball stuff.

Bolts through front spring rear eye were not centered as bushings were shot! As for shocks, if the vehicle isn't lifted, just get the appropriate K5 shocks. I ended up getting the KYB mono maxs for the 1008. Yep, more money than some of the others, but i usually try to upgrade when replacing...

319, Just did these on my 1008. For mine they had a set for oem springs and a set for aftermarket lift springs. OEM springs are wider than lift type springs. You'll want some sort of tool to clean the spring eye and frame bushing area. I used a appropraite size bore hone (ceramic) brush on a...

If you can shear grade 5 bed bolts off you are way way way past screwed! Clamp load is apx 9000 lbs on grade 5 1/2" bolts... Varying figures on shear, so i won't post them so as not to! With that said, some of the rusty factory bolts are probably degraded to the point they're way weaker than...

Piecing together the Cucv slowly and now looking at shocks. Truck is stock height. Truck is a work truck, more firewood and plowing than anything else (Well at least when it's put back together!) Previously had Pro comps of some flavor. seemed to be okay, hard to tell as these are sprung so...

Been plowing with mine for over ten years and only been stuck a couple of times. Plow hung up pushing banks and combination of ice under snow. Front posi wouldn't have helped! Currently have duratracs on truck and the thing is "almost" impossible to get stuck if weight in the back! My opinion...

Surprised no one brought up the fact that the tires are too big for stock rims (if that's what you're using). I'm also running 10 ply 285 75 16's. (Duratracs) Manufacturer calls for rim width of 7.5" - 9". (Factory rim was 6" wide although 6.5's readily available as a stock GM rim) With the...
