Hey guys, I'm finally ready to install my factory tire carrier on the right hand side of the back of Elsie. I misplaced or tossed out the nut that goes in the top of the hinge. This pic shows what i'm missing. I know SOR has then for $4 but the greedy arses want $18 to ship two nuts and...
Hey guys, i've searched and searched but nothing. I just rebuild my doors and put them on the cruiser for the first time in 18 years. they are the 1972 style that the top half slide into the top of the door. I don't have the seals that close the gap around the 2 mating parts. The factory...
Can anyone please help me source a bell housing dust cover for a 4 speed bell housing? I have a 4 speed mated to an advanced adaptor PN 712532 bell housing but the entire bottom is open. Advanced Adaptors tells me that I need to use the factory 4speed dust cover but I can't find one on...
OK, sorry if this has been covered, but I have spent weeks searching. I did a resto a few years back and have been driving in the good weather only. No top on and always parked in the garage.
Kids are getting older and i'm ready to make this a daily driver. So i'm going to finish the hard...
Hey guys,
I'm installing my 2.5" OME lift and having problems. After searching all morning on this site i have come to realize people are having problems with the axles moving when installing OME springs.
I'm installing the springs with the shorter end toward the center of the rig, or...
I'm looking to smooth out my 1972 since I currently have a rough country or some other lift that doesn't flex at all. My wife now has back problems from the cruiser, and my kids refuse to ride in the dang thing.
I'm going to put the 2.5" Old Man Emu springs on but want to use factory rubber...
I know, search and there is a ton of stuff on this. Well guess what, your right, there is a ton of stuff, a ton of people just talking about what they did, but not how they did it.
I have a small block Chevy and will run 2 single pin temp probes, so the low speed can kick on from one of the...

So, I just finished getting my new role cage from Wilson Cruisers (Chad Wilson) fitted, and all welded up. The tub is British Racing Green (Jaguar green) and all the dash pieces, hard door pieces and front bezel are the newer Toyota truck silver. I was initially going to do the cage black, but...
Has anyone ever had any problem getting this "new" seal to work on the front of the transfer case nose cone behind the driveline flange dust seal?
I just re-sealed the trany/transfer case all up, re-installed and filled with oil. last night I found oil just running out from the location...
So, I have just re-installed my trans and t case back into the cruiser. I put the shift stick back into the top of the trans but it won't shift into an gears. I can't get anything in the trans to move.
Any thoughts?????? Maybe my clutch isn't adjusted correctly or something causing this...
So, this is the last thing to do before installing the dash pad and finishing the dash. I wired the switch up, verified the pin out, and nothing. I did find that the there is continuity between the solid blue wire on the motor to the other 3 wires. Not sure if there should be or not. Also...
I've been looking for hours. Can anyone direct me to a thread on how to disassemble, rebuild, re-assemble the factory 4 speed?
I have the input shaft bearing that I want to replace, and it looks like I will have to dig into this thing, so anything that i take out that should be replaced, i'll...
So this transfer case came on the cruiser, and it's bolted to a 4 speed. I had the wrong flywheel on my SBC and 4 oil leaks from the tranny/ t-case bla bla bla.
I pulled and cleaned up the t-case and found that it won't shift out of 4wd when I pull or push on the round rod coming out of the...
So, I am currently looking for this "Retainer" and the speedo housing. I took mine apart to clean it up, stop the leak, and repaint. When I went to re-install the speedo housing, it bound up half way in. At this point (stupid me) tapped on it with a hammer, and it froze up solid half way in...
Has anyone ever came up with a way to mount the factory 4 speed and transfer case with a V8 and NOT use the propeller blade style mount?
I was thinking about coming up with a mount under the transmission that uses the rear lower 2 bolts of the tranny. Thank this would work?
So I finally got to drive my resto-mod 1972 and have a problem. I have a Chevy 283 in with an Advanced adapter bell housing to a 1974ish 4 speed trany. When I got the rig 8 years ago it had a worn out Chevy 400 in it so I used the flywheel and bell off of that. The problem is the flywheel is...
Just wanted to share with you guys my first real ride. I've had the cruiser for 8 years, spent the first 2 years on the frame off, then had kids, then spent the last 6 months finishing it.
I had it driving for 8 days before the Medford Cruise. My goal was to get it running for the cruise...
I need 3 driveline flanges that bolt to the 1963 thru 1969 front and rear end and front of the transfer case.
I need 1 driveline flange that bolts to the parking brake for a 1969 to 1974.
I have 2 questions for you guys, I have searched hi and low with no answers.
1: With a saginaw box installed, no front tires, how can I test the turn ratio.
2: Saginaw box on bench, how can I test (in the store) the turn ratio.
At current, I have a 4 bolt box with 5691676 stamped on it...
