ARCHIVE 70 Series Axle Cheatsheet Poster

[NLXTACY]

Initially I wasn’t going to make One being as the front axle is basically the same as the 60 Series but little miss thang Maggie didn’t want to hang a 60 Series poster. So I figured I’d make up a 70 specific one. It’s really only good for all Heavy Duty 70s up to 1/1990.

Beautiful. Love the green background. Will this graphic find its way onto a tshirt?

Hehe

I mean maybe one day I'll hang a 60 poster but that means I'll have a 60 (HJ61) in the garage, but right now there's just Beastie.

I think the green looks great!

Thanks again!

Not 100%. Shirt minimums, and general demand, may hinder this.

What’s the main difference from the 60 series axles?

Since I am a newbie to this poster (which I think is great btw)...I have to ask what does it mean when you have those yellow circles with numbers beside them? (I.E. 7, 34, 58, 23....)

Finally! This will look great on the new wall in my new shop!

And since I do have a 60 (HJ61) too, I guess I should get one of those posters too!

Joey,

VERY cool, as usual with any WITS' END product.

The experts can correct me if I am wrong, I know that in 1991 the front axle changed to the 8" high pinion versus the old 9.5 front axle, but the knuckle assembly remained the same for most of the HD 6-lug front axle until 2000/2001 I believe?. There might have been some small changes to the brake calipers, too, but I think the assembly order and torque specs remained the same.

What I am trying to say I guess is that this poster will also be useful for later model 70-series, perhaps up to 2001?

Great product again, Joey. Keep up the good work.

Matt,

The yellow circles are the torque specs for the bolt/nut shown in the circle. I believe these specs are listed in Newton-Meter (N.m) Foot Pound (Ft lbs) on the poster.

EDIT: Torque Specs are in Ft lbs as indicated below

Hope this helps.

Right now it’s ft lb

None for the HD 7x trucks through the change in 1990.

That helps a lot Alberto. Thanks for schooling me on the poster.

What does one have to do to get this poster? Knuckle rebuild is next on my list for the FJ73.

@NLXTACY will have it up on his website next week IIRC.

Great work Joey. Ordered.

So stoked!! Can't wait to have this hanging on the wall.

The green looks great

Sweet, I love my 80 knuckle shirt!

I'm sure Joey caught the typo before he sent it off to the printer, right?!?!
