I found your thread via Maxcustody's hemi Dart page. Awesome car you were able to get back into your family. Thanks for the story. I just hope that guy who's got "your" 340 will see the light soon and let you have it back.

Glad to hear the neighbor was ok. It's sad to see the remnants of the car. Regarding these barracuda rear windows, they are still pretty easy to find. I personally have three spares. Two came with the car and I got a third from a neighbor's house that recently sold. The window was in the back...

In the early 80s my brother picked up from a coworker a '67 GMC 1 ton (I guess that would make it a 3500) flatbed dually with a 351 V6, 4 speed, and Detroit locker. It got horrible gas mileage but nowadays would be a cool truck to find again. Dad bought it from my brother, then Dad sold it in...

I'm curious what you use for flatbed temperature when you're printing. The parts I do seem to like the bed kept at 80c for the entire print, to keep from curling the bottom edges. I primarily use PETG.

I know this thread is about 2- and 4-post lifts but when I was looking for a lift, I thought a scissor lift was the right one for me. I ended up buying a used Hydra-Lift (Canadian made but no longer in business) and am very happy with it. It has over 6' of clearance under the car when fully...

The power converters/battery chargers that come in RVs are usually a poor choice for maintaining RV batteries, as they are mainly for providing a 12 volt power source during camping when you're plugged in to 120VAC. They will keep your batteries charged when not camping but they are not well...

Good stuff in this thread. So..... Broadcast Sheet "Axle Build Code" 011 is a 7 1/4" 3.23 SG w/10" brakes (per GG's 1991 book), and code 178 (like TMM's) must be 8 3/4" 3.23 SG w/10" brakes (contrary to GG's 1991 book). Still not defined is crawsfire's axle build code of 138 for his 8 3/4" 3.23...

Yes, all four snap rings are in place. The movement was never side to side. With the old straps the movement was front to back by just a few thou. Regarding the cross caps sticking out so far, I don't know. I presume the rear driveshaft yoke is original to the car. The snap ring can be in the...

Got the new straps from Denny's Driveline. Nice fit. Thanks again Fishy68 for the info. The photo below shows the larger (presumably 7290) strap on top and the new correct strap on the bottom. The end play wasn't as loose as it would appear to be in the top photo. The shoulders of the old...

That's what I'm hoping. I am going to order some 7260 straps and hopefully fix the problem. Thanks again.

Thanks much! Boy, not much difference. I was expecting more.

So the 8-3/4 differential in my car was pieced together from multiple sources. The problem is, the straps that hold the u-joint into the 7260 yoke seem to be a wee bit on the large side, such that the u-joint has a very small amount of play (I know, not good). I'm thinking the straps are maybe...

I was thinking the same.

Welcome from Poulsbo, WA. Been through Sandpoint on the way to Glacier a number of years ago, and Silverwood a couple times. Nice looking B'cuda you've got.
