Ive considerd shipping axle's from the east coast to the western part of the country. But I was forced to sell my truck last year and the only way a shipping company will pick up at my hous eis if I have a fork truck to lift the axle's in or a loading dock, I have neather. I have local...

I used a 88 SRW Ford and chopped 5"s off the long side to make it 64.5"s WMS. The reasion for the it was I found a 32" long Spicer shaft listed in the dana 60 bible. So not thinking I went ahead and chopped the housing down and re-welded the C. Then I called to try to get that length axle...

nice write up and i think for the price you cant beat the quality. a little tech i will add, install your seals before you put the chunk back in. you can pop the seal retainers with the chunk in but a specail or a home made puller is needed. i was suprised how well mine were in there ( the...

well i got the high steer arms close to being done. i still need to drill a 3/4" hole so i can run a threw bolt down to the OEM knuckle hole and attch the HIEM in double sheer. jason.

got the front steering ram mounted. when i raised the mount up from were i had it the cylinder will hit the front flange. so i will trim it down in the lathe till it clears. next is high steer arms and steering tie rods. jason.

thanks, the buggy will really be built like any overall buggy. just our terrian is a bit different. we tend to mix alot of rocks with heavy dirt and when its wet, mud. dont forget tree's to. so having somthing that can get between tight trails is why i needed to narrow the rockwells down...

well here are the mounts done and painted. i needed to fix the egged out hole from the previos owner of the chassie. he was running a well built 5.3 and it egged the holes out. so i built them back up with weld and then welded some HD washers onto the side's. this will beef up that area and...

well i got the motor mounts done. i will get som pics of them a little later. this is a picture of why i need to flip the axle around for the steering up front. the up travel will hit the oil pan. more to follow, jason.

well here what im starting to build. specs will be: mild built 350 with TPI injection. T-400/205 or a built T-350 with a HD dana 300 narrowed steering rockwells with MAD-MACs 8 lug conversion two seater 1.5" DOM chassie. 42" irok stickys i was having a problem with the uptravel of the...

i have two divorced dana 20. i picked this one up http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=699235 and picked up and other with a old AA adapter on it. this one posted has a flange but the one with the AA adapter on it has a solid 1310 yoke. i was going to use them in a light buggy...

a dana 80 HP really. ive herd of the dana 70 HP's from the kodiack trucks but never herd of a HP 80. i think the one im getting has 5.13's does this sound right. are the 80's a two piece carrier like the early dana 70's and 14 bolt's. the only inside's i saw of a dana 80 was the dodge version...

back stepping the welds helps with warpage. start on the end and then weld into each start. make the welds the same length ( lets just say 6"s long each ) and it should help with warpage. maybe welding the two sliders back to back. then back stepping the welds and flipping them from one slider...

do you re-drill a hole new pattern or justy tweek the OEM hole's, like maybe stepping them up a few drill size's bigger. i assume that you need to grind down the outer flange becasue its to big for the 14 bolt. another words id the flange of the axle wider than the 14 bolt hub. the only...

so the dana 80 37 spline axle flange bolt pattern is the same as the 70/14 bolt. im not refering to the lug pattern but the axle flange to hub pattern. jason.

well got them welded today. sorry for the crappy pics but here they are. i did one root and three cover pass's. i did the last two as caps, the bevel was a little to big for one pass with the .035 wire. so here they are in oreder. jason.

well i cant weld them today, hopfully friday or saterday. ran out of gas and need to set the wire feeder up for the genarater. so no news for now but i will post back when i do. jason.

thanks T, i will get some more pic's. i didn't have alot of time today and it got damm cold out in the garage so i didn't want to start welding them tonight. friday i will have more. jason.

well got my parts back for my JIG. very simple parts and went together easy. i didn't have a chance to weld them but i will friday and will post back. i have the puck with the 1.5" hiems sitting in them and placed tight in the bearing jurnals. then i tapped the plates into the sealling surface...

built mine form 11 gauge stainless steel. used SS a pipe for a filler and a SS cap. built it around the fuel pump, holds over 8 gallons and welded it with my MM250. this was before i got the TIG, no problems and ive had it in use for over a 5 years. jason.

we used a circular saw, but with the wood blade mounted backwards. didn't clog up and was very smooth when done. jason.
