1978 K10 stock height 305 w/ th350 with np203 LWB Hey yall, long time reader second time poster, took down my transfer case to replace my transmission pump and cant remember how the crossmember spacers go on, do they go above, below, in between? Also, when my pump went out  , i grabbed another one from a parts transmission i have, will that work? It moves again indernits own power but shuddered a bit at first, itll go up through the gears ok but seems like its kinda stiff getting up there and has a vibration the whole time, pretty sure my rear seal on engine started leaking too, i changed all the seals on the tranny when i attempted to fix, the pump gasket seal, front seal, anybhelp would he appreciated thanks

Trying to get time devoted to the truck during the holidays has been tricky.  I've only been able to devote a total of a few hours over the past couple of weeks but every little bit helps.  I've got the next 3 days off so I will be focusing on block sanding and getting the 2nd round of primer sprayed.

Best looking Ford I've owned was the '78 F250 extra cab.

I bought my '78 K10 to 'flip' almost 10 years ago. Something happened...

Ford trucks from 73-79 are great old trucks. They are simple to work on. Parts are easy to find.

Chevy trucks are good too, but Ford has better engines for torque and towing in that era. The straight-6 and V8 in the old Ford are strong and can last a long time.

The parts and community for Ford trucks are big, so you can find help easy.

Thanks Shifty, I do not get much time to work on it as of late. I spend most of my time taking care of my wife. Still have some things to do on my truck. However, it does run strong and is fun to drive when I can. My tires have some tread for now. However, I want to replace them with 33.50s (used to have them a while back on my truck) after they get worn out.

I ran the 70mph with the 4:10 and a th400.  RPM's were up for sure but other than that easy peasy... I did eventually gear mine to a 3.21 and loved it.
