So I already had this super nice post all typed up and when I hit submit it said I needed to login again. Of course I lost it all
![]() I'd rather not deal with special people on pirate telling me I should just buy a one ton and a build a buggy. Only have room and budget for one truck. I've been collecting parts for way too long to turn back now anyway ![]() I need a heavy hauling truck for my fabrication business and pleasure, but I also miss having a truck to play off road with. I bought an 87 K10 silverado the day I turned 16 and I just can't toss it away on craigslist. So it's going to donate whatever good parts are left to a just cause. Parts list: 4-53 detroit with ddec swap and compounds RTO610 trans 203/205 doubler unless I find a kodiak divorced np273 Dodge kingpin 60/70 rear with 3.55's 3 link front/rear on air Scratch built frame with longbed wheel base Aluminum flat bed 37" hummer MTR's Now that all the big parts were collected, I didn't have anywhere to start the project. My small shop was overflowing with customer work and I didn't have a garage at home. So, I moved to northern michigan and built a shop in the woods on a lake this spring. I did all the work except erecting the structure and pouring concrete. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Donor C10 with no powertrain bought for $500, sold bed for $400, sold rolling chassis for $500. Kept cab, doors, fenders, hood, and core support ![]() ![]() Axles and 205 ![]() Driptroit ![]() After some QC coatings magic ![]() On the stand awaiting crank to come back from balancing ![]() Air starter because my motor didn't come with a starter and it was $65 on ebay ![]() Greasy compressor met the solvent tank ![]() ![]() RT610 and divorced 203 rangebox for $250 from toothless hillybilly junk yard ![]() My skinny ass on a 6ft cheater wouldn't break the yoke nut, so out came redneck engineering ![]() Mainshaft apart for OD kit install ![]() OD kit installed on mainshaft and countershaft gears flipped ![]() Rest of the guts after cleaning ![]() This is going to be a somewhat slow build as progress is between customer work, finishing touches on the shop, cash flow, and cutting wood to feed the boiler. The goal is to have a rolling chassis with a motor/trans in it by the time the snow melts in the spring. Last edited by Whitbread; August 25th, 2016 at 01:55 AM. |

Awesome shop but why the bunker inside the garage? Noise control?
You seem to have a meticulous approach to what you do, I like that and will be following along. |

Hahaha, I'd have to put 3 ALH's under the hood to get the torque I want. There probably is enough room under the hood of a 81-87 K truck though.... |

Spent the evening on the trans and it's well on the way back together!
Trans used to have a horrible redneck pto mount that attached to these studs with 6" long tube spacers. The bracket flexed so much the surface of the case was pretty worn from the 1" tube beating on it, so I popped it on the mill. I'm not going to use these stud holes at all, but they're tapped all the way though the case so I need to be able to seal them with a bolt and copper washer. ![]() Aux box back timed up ![]() The hilarious size of the output ![]() Main box timed ![]() Top on! ![]() Last edited by Whitbread; September 8th, 2016 at 02:00 AM. |

Stood the trans up to drop the aux box on and whipped up a pair of pto cover plates. I plan on running a hydraulic pump off the 6 bolt pto for a hydraulic winch eventually, but for now I need to keep the dust out of this thing. Gotta grab an out put seal and a few more bolts from town and it'll be totally done and ready for the shelf.
![]() Put the tool I made to use and knocked the camshaft and idler shaft bearings in. Of course, the oil holes don't line up 100% in the bearing shells so I'll touch them with a die grinder. Grrr.... ![]() Last edited by Whitbread; September 9th, 2016 at 12:07 AM. |
