    Another great save. They made a zillion of this generation and besides the usual places of rust, they were built to last. Really suprised the block wasn't cracked and you didn't even mess with the QJet. It's going to be ready for more years of dependable and economical service. Really respect your methodical approach to bringing them back. Peace

      Thanks man! Always fun to get them going and make them run again. And I agree. They were built simple too, which has helped them last.
      I like to imagine Trying getting a 2022 chevy running in 50 years from now after it’s been sitting for the last 20 of that in a field. No thank you!!

    This is the only time I have seen Spicer hubs since having them on a 73 K20 camper special. 350, 4 speed, open diffs 4:10 front Dana/4:11 rear GM 12 bolt. Bought it in 82 with a 7 1/2' Fisher. You walked along the frame rails in the box and Pepsi cans could fall out between the doors and the missing rocker panels of the cab it was so rusted out. It did 2 things great, plow snow & drink gas.

    I like everything that you've done so far. And on all your videos you go beyond and above. I love my older Chevy's. I'm actually looking for a 3/4 ton for world drive in the 71 Siri. Similar to what you had just did in this video. My name is Lloyd heck and live I. Live in Montana but I used to I. Grew up and Washington State. But I like your videos, if you run across the Netherlands of them. Let me know how much I'm interested in purchasing one in restoring it. I'm 59 years old and I would love to have an old Chevy back. I had A 72 will drive for speed truck and I sold it. And I kicked myself in the butt ever since but I'm looking for A71 custom. Keep me in mind

    Is that a dana 60 front??? Or just big hubs on a dana 44??

    • @GoldCityTrucks

      Not a 60, it’s factory big hub 44 that’s original to the truck

    Do these spicer big hubs fit on to a dana 44 from a late 70s gm truck?

    • @GoldCityTrucks
      @GoldCityTrucks  9 месяцев назад +2

      They only fit “big hub” earlier Dana 44s. You can however put the locking hubs and complete outer hub assemblies on to a later diff.

    • @8luggarage
      @8luggarage 9 месяцев назад +1

      ​@@GoldCityTrucks ok. I sorta thought that might be the case. My truck is a Frankenstein build. It was half ton 6 lug when I bought it. And I put 14 bolt full float rear and 8 lug dana 44 in it out of a 79. Which is fine I guess. The big hubs do look nice. The difference might not be worth the cost.
