Most of the jackass moves on my 68 I may have played a hand at. I used a piece of heater hose with a wire tie in it to repair a radius arm bushing once hunting near grand junction. I forgot about till about a year later.

And yes, rebuild the one you have . Most available today are trash

In my experience going to a 4 barrel on otherwise stock engine with have marginal impact on performance. It will however burn a lot more gas. Mine got 18-19, then out 465 Holley on it and got 12-13

Welcome, don’t have great insight in cutting the axle, but do share love of F100, broncos, and early mustangs

What wild horse 75 said work them flat, and even the other way a bit.

I am no metallurgist, but always believed a flat fracture like that to be from a tensile failure. Since the taper was tight and carrying the load first thing to come to mind would be an over torqued situation. Would be a little unsettling if it ever happened again, you are lucky. Go buy power...

What is gear ratio of axles?

What kind of hinges do the doors need?

I wanted to go with lift on hinges and real doors, and not hack up mine and play with single shear and double shear forces. But I am hoping to use my fiberglass door inserts when I do. I have mediocre to avg steel fab and welding skills, but have been fabricating fiberglass for 30 years. Who...

Does the trans have 3.01 or 3.25 first gear!? I think if behind a 5.8 it was 3.01, the other is 392 or I6

What size roller wheels? Silvia is about a 5.5 hr drive from me

I tried real hard to see the value, reason, rationale. It’s the same as early bronco 4x running gear under a 67 merc cougar. Not for me, but solid work and I ain’t hating it

I think 3.00 is not all that low for any needed low end grunt PROViDED the final drive ratio is 1:1 like the stock 3 speed. Since you have a 0.724 OD gear it would be like having a 4.14 first gear if final drive is 1:1 The range of gear (hi minus low) in a stock 3 speed is 2.00, your trans is...
