Yeah. Wrestled the old leaky and dying 3 speed transfer case out from under Bucky. Freshened up 4 speed case going back in. We do it old school in Dave’s cruiser hospital. No fancy lifts around here.What did you do?

Amen brotha’! Amen.Yeah well good upgrade.
That said, you need a lift.
I hope I'm doing the right thing. These old full length racks are rare as hen's teeth around here, and they look good even when they are beat up (kind-of like pigs do). The functionality of the flat rack concept, weight savings, and the benefit of having some leftover sections of tubing to make repairs and square everything up made my decision for me.Sweet! Gonna be doing something similar. Like the flat rack concept - minimalistic and less weight, but there to tie something down and hold it if needed. Also great for distracting eyes from roof flaws!
I know exactly how you feel. Cutting up a vintage con-ferr rack would be a tough decision to make. Mine was cool, but not con-ferr cool! Either way, I think your plan will work perfectly.Going back and forth myself on modifying an old school full-length Confer rack in very good condition by at least making the rear portion a flat rack to accommodate our rooftop tent. Even have original Confer mounts. Seems a shame to cut it but with the prices of new flat racks???? Thinking of making the rear portion a flat rack and using removed side rails to complete an enclosed half rack up front.
I suspect there’ll be some rack surgery in the near future. Wouldn’t be hard to sell it but shipping it would be an expensive adventure.Maybe someone would want the Con-Ferr bad enough they could build you want you want and trade. Personally, I'd just make it how you want, there are a ton of racks left in the country not to feel bad about it.
