anyone got recommendations on what rebuild kit to use?

I got all my junk from NWF. Kyle was pretty good to work with. ORD would be another great choice.

I looked at both of them for adapters but what about tranny rebuild kits?

It would be a good time to throw in a shift kit while you're in the tranny.

 

[88chevota]

Which shift kit?

Which shift kit?

My b&m shift kit was reasonably priced and easy to install. I went with the "street kit".

Finally got to working on it a little today. still have some work to do on the inner wheel well but got the outside welded up. I'm gonna need to use some light bondo or something to clean it up a little though..

 

[88chevota]

I got a little more work done. Got it all cleaned up and gave it some paint! I think it looks pretty good. My first shot at welding sheet metal. Once I put some herculiner over it, that will pretty much hide all my little mistakes.

 

[brokenparts]

well done!

Nicely done! Sorry if I missed it earlier in the thread, but what welding setup you using?

Thanks guys.

I am using a lincoln 135 T Mig welder with an Argon Co2 mixture for gas. It is pretty versatile and works awesome!

$200 tons!!!!!

Ok So I scored another killer deal!!!! This time on some tons!!!!

I picked up a ford Dana 60HP and the matching Sterling 10.5" (I think) out of a 95 F-350 with drive shafts, and some roller tires and wheels for....

wait for it....














$200!!!

Only downside is the gearing. 3.54, but who cares. that is an easy change!!!!

I am picking them up monday.

I'll post pics of these bad boys as soon as I can!!! I am going to document all my costs on this build. This is the ultimate budget builder!!!

 

[88chevota]

Now I am going to put a cage in this thing too!!!

 

[Rockmuncher82]

Nice score, you still going to bob it?

Shane

 

[88chevota]

I don't think I'll bob it. Not yet anyway. With the rear moved back a couple of inches I want to try it out first.
