MJRemi Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Having decided to restore Red October and swap in the AMC 20 from the 86 parts truck, I tore it down and replaced the seals, bearings, brakes, and hardware. I also had a fill plug pipe welded to the cover due to the OE plug being stripped and frozen. After a little engine enamel paint and Lucas LSD gear oil, she's ready for the metric ton springs to go back on under some lowering blocks. I may start a "projects" thread for this truck just to keep track of the transition from near death to better than new. Before Image Not Found After Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found
dasbulliwagen Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 NICE! Might have been a good time to add a drain plug too, but oh well! Keep it up!
MJRemi Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 NICE! Might have been a good time to add a drain plug too, but oh well! Keep it up! I went back and forth on the drain plug idea but decided to skip it based on the infrequency of needing to drain the differential of a street truck. I kinda wish I had but it's too late now.
