    Slack in my Differential spider gears. Help please. Video included

    Hello all, I'm currently doing a rear disc conversion and opened up my rear differential. Poked and prodded, and noticed what seems to be A LOT of slop in the spider gears. From what I read, some slack in the spiders is acceptable, that they are not shimmed for clearance, but the side gears...

    Disc brake conversion, again...

    Hey all, I know this has been covered to death, and I've spent hours searching and reading, but maybe someone can confirm these parts will work before I plunk down the credit card.

    Warn hub bolts keep coming loose.

    Hey all, I'm sure this is not an uncommon issue and wanted to ask who has had good luck correcting this problem. The six bolts that hold the Warn hub to the spindle/hub keep backing off. I've tried locktite and lockwashers but no fix. Definitely don't want to break something on a trip. -Can...

    Replacement front springs with no lift?

    Hello all, Front HFS medium springs with 0-1" lift would be perfect, but I don't see those being available. Is there anything out there that might have a similar spring rate and quality? I have a front shackle reversal that gives me a couple inches of lift with my stock fronts. Recently...

    More fresh air in the cab

    Now that the roof is on the interior is pretty warm and stagnant. Mine is '73 with wind-wings, a vent just in front of the windshield, fresh air through the heater duct, and no pop out windows on the roof sides. The fresh air fan sucks warm air from over the front fender near the headers so...

    some sort of heat insulation/ floor covering

    Hello All, I recently put the top back on my 40, and now I notice how hot the bare metal floor gets. I have rubber floor mats but want to put something over the tranny hump and the rest. It doesn't need to look original, just decent. Anything effective and cheap? Thanks! B.
