I did a complete nut and bolt restoration and that is the only thing I could not get apart. I had to mask it off and paint around it. After 50 years it was not coming apart for me. The large nut is like a lock nut to the surface of the hood. I could get that to loosen up but the shaft would not...

Yes, it is a much better driving experience. More responsive without being twitchy.

I have had the new Lares box in for over 6 months now and on the street only. It has been Good so far. I saved my old 6 turn box just in case I did not like it.

No, the ends were spot welded and the seam sealed.

Actually I did have a few screw up in there too to keep it all in alignment.

Here is how I did mine with 3M panel bond and it worked out well. Light pressure and some heat to help the cure.

Thanks, for now I put it in the Lares cardboard box and put it on the shelf next to my spare Dana 20. We will see how this new one holds up.

I had a 6 turn box that I resealed 2 times and it still leaked out the input shaft. Also it was not super smooth turning hard right, groaned a bit. I purchased the Lares 11083 New Bronco steering gear with a lifetime warranty from RockAuto. I drive 99% on street and trail so I figure it should...

Great color! I painted mine Harbor Blue and everyone loves it. Looking good, get it on the road And have some fun.

Thanks Slowleak! I installed new door seals yesterday. This solved the 4 year search for seals and to have the doors actually close. I used my existing ends off of my seals that did not work and used the new amazon seal with windlace for the bottoms. I was able to peal the seal off the windlace...

No real issues. I wanted it up high and out of the way. It is a bit loud but I do not run it too often. For the rear locker and airing up the tires. Access to the back was through the top vent hole.

I went with the old bracket and sourced the pivot arm on eBay. With 351W it fits better angled for me. Sourced lines from WH. Then on budget, used astro van HB. Works great. You will love the braking power!

I picked up a cool T-Shirt from Pendleton. Looks like they are still available. Here is the link: https://www.pendleton-usa.com/product/mens-off-road-trails-graphic-tee/50054.html?dwvar_50054_color=74152&dwvar_50054_fit=REGULAR&cgid=M130#start=1&cgid=M130

I have the same Cragar soft 8 16x7 wheels with 4" backspacing. Tires are 255/85/R16 KM3s. 3.5" lift and 1" body lift.

3 1/2" suspension with 1" body lift. Yes 33"x10" tires. Thanks!

My 68 U15 is only a few down the assembly line from yours. U15NLD20633. It was delivered to Livermore CA. Good Luck with the sale.

1968 U15 with 351W, NV3550. Here is mine with 285/85r16, 33x10.5. It has a 3.5 suspension and 1" body lift. Drives great, just a bit more sensitive than my old setup with 32x11.5.

You are so close to the finish line. Can not wait to see it running. It has been an adventure for you for sure.

I have one with glass. You can have it if you want to pick it up. It is in decent shape. Brad
