I bought one out of SA 10 years ago. It’s always ran and drove. As I’ve gone thru each system over the years, I’ve definitely found some sketchy work. So, the comments above are certainly valid. But the frame was pretty much rust free and the stuff that needed resto was the mechanicals that...
Thanks! May have to call Cam tomorrow...
I know you have it mated to a 5, but do you think it would pair ok with a 4-speed (with 4.11’s)? Or too limiting? I want to be able to drive above 55!
So you’ve got some time on the Mosley now...what are your thoughts. I’m at a 2F crossroads trying to decide to keep or go to the dark side. I’d like to put one engine in that’s last til I’m dead.
Hey, thanks for the note. I need to correct the coarse comment now that folks have explained what true coarse means. I need a 27 spline internal (to long shaft) and 30 spline into hub. So, if your spline counts match that, I'd be interested.
I was able to find a 4.11 set in AZ last night...
Crackin' into a front axle rebuild and found this little gem. Yup, welded shaft. Nice. So, I'm now in the market for a new ring and pinion.
WANTED:
4.11 set for 74-79 coarse (10 spline) as in picture.
-or-
I'd consider a complete set of 3.7 (front and rear) coarse (10 spline).

Adjusting pinion shaft depth by removing some shim thickness to result in a backlash of 0.75mm. Although contact was evenly distributed, without "real" torque applied, I didn't feel that great about it. Coast side was a little intense too.
Rear Axle Final Result a few years later... The...
OK, so I went back to about 0.012" or 0.30mm, and the contact was too minimal for me on both sides. So, I went to 0.019" or 0.48mm. I really don't like the coast side contact...soooo as RAYJON mentioned, it may be time to tweak pinion depth again. I feel like I can effectively move the accel...
So, played with increased backlash. Double where I was. And accel side contact is more evenly distributed. But coast side is favoring the heel. And I have to say that I tried really hard to apply good torque for the pattern, but I think its still not meeting expectations!
Backlash at 0.8mm...
Thanks for the advice. Believe me, I want to see a pattern like that, badly! I hear you guys telling me to get better pressure on the teeth when I'm running patterns. I did try, but apparently this is not my strength. I'm in no rush, so I'll keep trying. Plus, I'm getting pretty good at...
