My K10 Build
78SWB:
I figured I should update this. I know some of you have been lurking on starcity, but i'll post anyways.
Went down to the Lupe River with some people a few weekends ago.
Found quick sand
Took over an hour and 2 winches to get me out.
Draining D44 fluid
Somehow broke the spider gears in the 44
Chipped the ring gear in 2 places.
Cracked the carrier
I think im going to replace the carrier and spider gears with a Detroit or find a used carrier and get a lock-rite. Or find a Dana 60, but that's pretty unlikely at this point.
78SWB:
Found out I had a broken u-joint.
Picked up the CUCV 14 bolt with a DETROIT LOCKER!! That will be nice.
Not sure who makes these, but it came with caliper brackets for the disc conversion.
78SWB:
Detroit
Apart
Back together
Open CUCV 14
Got done with that part, so I moved on to the disc brake swap. Pulled these rocks out of one of the drums.
Brackets need some paint.
78SWB:
*As of last night*
Still need calipers and the rear will be done so I can start on the part I broke. Its going to be like this for a while cause I ran out of play money for this thing.
Jeepinsker:
Might reconsider sandblasting your inner axle components with river water. ;)
Looks good!
