Here is my son's truck that is in my sig, but was bought after the "family portrait" photo was made that is in my post that started this thread.
We (he
) bought this truck with the premise that all it needed was a clutch, and exhaust. Well it did get the exhaust, as well as
everything except the clutch replaced. From this angle you can't see the rust, but this truck is on the schedule to be fixed after I complete the repair of my '77.
Even after 2 engine swaps it still has the same clutch. Oh, yeah, we (me
) didn't have to replace the frame. LOL! But almost everything axles wise was replaced.
We (I) replaced the D60's king pins, and king pin bearings, bushings, springs, etc. I bought 2 brand new SRW hubs, and rotors, as well as new wheel bearings, brakes, braided brake lines, dual steering stabilizers, polyurethane bushings on every pivot, and so on.
The rear FF GM 14-bolt was junk. It got a different 4.10 ring, and pinion, as well as a new GM Gov-Lock. (I know, I know "gov-lock") But it didn't cost anything, and it will suffice until we can find an open carrier to drop a Detroit Locker in. Also I added a 4-wheel disc brake set up like I put on my '77 K-30 20 years ago.
