Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project

I had a good friend who lived part time in P.R. Its a mix of US and Import cars so I knew some guys with old Chevy's, and others with Import-only diesels that we can't get in the mainland.

You guys still doing the dune-climbs and stuff out in the sand?

Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project

how did you mount up the suburban front axle/suspension? I have been trying to find a drivers side drop dana 44, but they are not real common apparently. so this would be another option.

thx

Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project

What hub did you use to get the 5 lug pattern or did you have it redrilled? Any other pictures of the front suspension? Pretty slick project!

Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project

Very interesting build.....I like it.

I know you don't have good parts availability there in PR, but I wonder if an AWD Astro/Safari hub would bolt up to the spindle and fit the axle. Those are already 5 x 5.

Re: 1970 C10 AWD Project

not familiar with the GM246 unit.....but know that the NVG-149 is one b@d@$$ AWD unit. The torque split is awesome and they can handle all kinds of HP. Guys putting all kinds of power to them....like a Gear Vendors OD. I owned a '01 Sierra C3 and wish I had never let it go. Amazing traction in nearly any scenario....pulled a Mustang uphill on slick ice and never spun a wheel...on stock Michelins....then found out he had is e-brake on the whole time and that I was dragging vs pulling him. LOL! Just one example.
