Sweet!

There is a puller that screws into the three tapped holes and then pushes on the main shaft. Do a search. There are some pics of one a guy fabbed up on this site. Some people have got them apart by prying between the two column pieces, but that is a bad idea!

No expert here..... but wanted a corner carver with maybe a track day or autox event here and there. I went with a .998 (pretty sure it was, just under an inch anyhow) boxed in the lca's, factory sway bar, kyb shocks, etc. It is insane what that has done for the handling. I don't even have the...

I'd have them media blasted. Although light sanding won't hurt. Go lengthwise down the bar with the sand paper so the micro scratches run long ways. Also, use something fine like a 220 grit or finer. I did mine and painted them too. Never again. When the engine comes out for this new motor...

Received the replacement parts from Tony's today. They are very nice. I'll clean up some sharp edges, and they can go to the powder coater. I just got a defective set of castings the first time. And Tony said he'd never had a defective set after selling several hundred. But, all good now! C

from my original post: The castings I got are awful. There is an overly big gap between the two pieces, The gap is not consistent at all, and the larger piece (rear) had a flat spot in the circumference. Some of the edges are really rough too. That part is fixable but I don't want to modify them...

Roy, would firm feel not take it back and fix it? Or didn't you pursue that? Honestly curious as I have heard good things about the boxes, customer service and I was planning on using one! thanks, CE

Well, I sent them back to Tony's and they are sending out replacement pieces. Hopefully I just got a bad set! We'll know in a few days.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone here has the new steering column conversion pieces that Classic Industries and Tony's Mopar parts sells. Specifically the 68-69 pieces to convert from auto to manual column. Yes, I know I can convert them myself, but decided to try buying them instead. The...

After I harden the springs I use at work (gun springs) I temper them at 700* to get the spring rate I want. Different temps anneal to different levels. Useless tidbit :) Anyhow, the local powder coater does the springs for the monster truck The Black Stallion. 4' high springs, no adverse...

It took me 2-3 weekends, but then i had more time in modding my k frame and lca's, etc. I was also very meticulous.

I just scrapped one b/c no one would come get it........ They're out there for sure. Id find an unmolested unit myself.

Nah, don't go outta the way for me. Just was wonderin'. I used their subframe connectors. Good stuff!

Take any pics?

Yes it will. The universal ones you get at the parts store don't lock on either.

The "shoulder" on the new bushings goes in the hole in the inner fender one from beneath and the other from the top. Both with one of the washers on the outside of the bushing. Like a sandwich where the inner fender is in the middle. Hope that makes sense.

Interesting.... Thanks for sharing that Joe.

Agree. Took some grinding to final fit but good pieces!

Hey, let us know what you think of that borgeson box once you get her running. Been thinking of making the swap in my ride from the old mopar box, but boy is it pricey!

Thanks. I crawled under my car last night and I don't even know what I was thinking! Lol

Was thinking about getting some of those hangers to drop mine a bit. When you use them do you have to elongate clearance hole in the body for the bolt head? Thanks, CE

Ha! Always assumed they were both federal. Learn something everyday! Sorry this doesn't get you any closer to an answer.

Is federal and trw the same thing? That looks like what i call a federal pump. There are two different federal pumps I know of. One is a .96 pump and i forget the other. I think I have one of each though. Ill see if I can tell a difference in the mounting points. Edit, Just looked in the fsm...

Man that fills it up in there. Was looking at the cooper tires you suggested too. So you had to adjust the fenders?

Yes it is an a body 8.75. right now it has Yukon axles with green bearings, but those will come out and some of dr, diff's axles will go back in with taper roller bearings. I may go to discs in the rear too. Currently 11X2.5 drums. This is why I'm really going to have to get a game plan and...

Ah! Love it. That is genius. That makes my decision. Thank you 72blunblu. Since I JUSTgot this thing drivable for the first time since last October (and still have much to shake down) I'm going to take the two 225/60/15s I have on cop rims and see if they will work up front. If so I'll get two...

Hrmm, so no rotating of wheels/tires. Oh well I'm confused about the 8-10mm spacer.where does that go and what is it for? Thanks in advance, this is really helping!

So if I am reading this right, are you saying I could go 275 in all 4 corners, if i used 18 in rims (and 1/2 in offset of rear springs) If so I'd be inclined to go that route. It would be really nice to have all 4 wheels the same size ,etc.

Do you happen to have a favorite brand, compound of rubber you use. I had been running the radial T/A's :) Lol.

That is really helpful. I just figured if I had to move rear end perches for the offset............etc. But if the mini tub is about going straigtline racing that makes life a bit easier for me! Thanks,
