I'm having some fun with the regear of my Dana 44. Thank heavens for setup bearings, I can't imagine trying to tackle this job without 'em. After a couple nights in the garage I think I am close. My backlash is 0.06" and my pinion preload is ~20 in-lbs. This is what my pattern looks like...

I am regearing my Dan 44 to 4.56. Thanks to the carrier break, I bought a new open carrier for gears 3.92 and up since the tag on the Dana 44 specified 3.50, with an open carrier. I am not planning on doing much off roading, so I figured this would be sufficient. Well, I got started with pulling...

I am getting to the point in my frame-off where I need to make a call between fender flares and the Dennis Carpenter flared quarters. My quarters are already cut, so staying stock without any modifications isn't much of an option unless I buy new uncut quarters. So, long story short, for those...

Does anyone have any sources for the 96-97 Explorer fuel rail with a return? We don't have many junkyards up here so that isn't much of an option for me. Ebay has a few listings for the later returnless rails, but none for the return. Bonus question, has anyone had much success using the...

I am tackling some of the odd jobs on my frame before sending it off for blasting. This includes setting it up for a 4X4X2 steering box. Looking through the various past threads, it looks like there are two main options for locating the box: 1) front bottom hole - this will require clearencing...

I've got a pair of GT40 heads and need to open up the spring seat and narrow the valve guide for dual springs. Anyone have a 1.440" OD, 0.630" ID cutter with an 11/32 arbor? Also on the same topic, the valve guides need to be narrowed to 0.530". The Comp Cams part numbers are: - 4718 - 4726 - 4732

I am in the middle of rebuilding my 9" rear. Before I took the axle apart I thought I had a small bearing unit, due to the 10" drums and I couldn't see the taper near the axle ends that are supposed to come along with a big bearing unit. I popped the axle bearings off and it was only then that I...

Looks like they are finally for sale: http://dennis-carpenter.com/flared-lower-quarter-panel-left/p/C6TZ-9627817-F/ Anyone tried them yet? I am on the fence with going down this route or cutting the new front fenders and sticking with the old quarters (already cut).

I am in the process of my first vehicle project, which turns out to be a 69 Sport. I purchased my Bronco in a disassembled state and without engine/transmission. I am working through the body work and hope to split the tub and frame in the next few weeks. It has been lifted, and currently sits...

I've got this setup taking up space in my garage: 4-Speed Top Loader - wide ratio Floor shifter kit with stainless steel transmission tunnel cover Dana 20 Dana 20 rebuild kit I'm located in Victoria, but could arrange to bring it to Vancouver. Not sure on price... make me an offer if interested.

Any chance folks with this combo can post some photos of the transmission tunnel and where the shifters end up? It will be a while until I am ready to install this combo, but I just finished installing new floor pans including the tunnel and I am curious to see what I'm in for.

I picked up a partially dismantled 69 Sporta while back and am just in the process of dealing with the floor pans. I thought it had a 3-speed transmission with a floor shift conversion, but after pulling the transmission, scraping the layers of gunk off, and a bit of education thanks to google...

I'm on the look out for a hood and hard top somewhere relatively close to Vancouver. Let me know!

I'm looking for a first time project. It'll be a bit of a family wide effort, with the father in-law providing the facilities (he has the tools, including a lift and sand blaster), I'll be doing the grunt work, and my son will likely be climbing around doing typical 4 year old things while we...
