    Kept looking, still couldn't find any 14 bolts local much less one in my width End up trying three different Detroit lockers, had to send them all back. Somebody pointed me to a guy named Carl jantz out of WA. He apparently has a lot of experience with these odd axles. Anyway, he said at Dana...

    ..... Well that brings me to the rear axle.... which is a thorn in my side. Lots of return/restocking fees on failed installs. I'm not giving up..... Yet

    My rig has a dana 60 front and a ultra rare super 70 in the rear... more on that later. Both are just open diffs and so i really wanted to get some traction devices in there. For the front i opted on a lunchbox, mostly since there was one local on marketplace from cheap, but ive have great luck...

    One thing that always really bothered me was the worn drivers seat. I actually have been searching since i got this for new seat, but to no avail. I actually was considering having the entire interior reupholstered, but at the same time still wanted the original look. Finally hillbilly got a new...

    Its been over two years since ive updated the build. I did just drive and enjoy it, got busy with the other builds in the fleet, but i do have some updates. Fist thing to address was the wiring harness. Basically it had 37 years of previous owners cutting and splicing.... poorly. I envisioned a...

    Completely stock H1 wheels, no spacers, but I am running ~75" wms-wms dually axles. No tach yet, but im guessing with the 4 speed 700r4 Im doing somewhere around 2200rpms at 70mph. I'd love to get a all-in-one gauge like you can for a boat/airplane. looking into that now.

    Yeah I don't need speed, mine chugs along at 70 just fine. It can get my boat to the local boat ramp about a mile away easy as well. However, The other day I tried to tell it to the nicer boat ramp in the city, and it was just not pleasant. It struggles up bridges and anything over 50. The boat...

    I addressed all the leaks this past weekend, as well as replace the smashed in oil pan and re-did the turbo return line. I know its sacrilege, but I really want to put a duramax in there. I love this truck, but i really need the reliability, and power of a newer truck, like a2006 k2500hd. If I...

    Update for december 2020. I few months ago i did all the wheel bearings and discovered the right rear spindle was completely destroyed. Further digging into it the carrier cross pin was worn and the spider gears were lose as well as the drum brakes shot. So I opted to just replace the axle...

    Here ya go. You can see where the 'bar' bolted in place by the missing holes. I also have a shackle flip witch slightly complicated the install, but still works. there is a harness on mine that wasn't plugged into anything. There i found the brakes and signals. I had to get the reverse from the...

    Couple updates. I installed a Curt 13401 Trailer hitch the other day. I did not have to cut anything to make it fit, however, i did have to remove that 2' long bar that runs along the bottom of the bumper. I was worried it would look a bit odd having a hitch below to pintle, but its not that...

    I have a lot of build photos, I look through them, didn't find any of the dash. Sorry It wasn't that hard though, I used a 3M fiberglass kit. Off the top of my head, I remember I scuffed up the pad, used a razor to cut out some of the worst parts around the crack. I think I use some kind of...
