I will take it! Along with those steel disks I owe you for and still haven’t picked up!

haha, sounds good.

I've been thinking about building a wood chipper, and those discs are looking mighty tempting

I'd have started already, but what I'm lacking is a good bit of solid steel shaft.

Even thought about using an old 60 axle shaft, but I bet that s*** is hard to machine.

Shop sink, hootch fermenter, taps work etc…come get it.

 

[stevebradford]

What are you building?

I need to come by, not for the sink but for some beers!

 

[Rigpig]

Fawk yeah! We need to crush a few xmas beers and get caught up, been far too long!
Tearing out the old laundry room, building a spare bedroom and a bathroom/laundry room combo.

Surf board rack. Made out of galv pipe, or maybe conduit, but holds 5 boards.

I had it stuffed with windsurfing gear before I retired from my illustrious career.

Might want some new bubble wrap.

Going through some stuff in my pile and have a few items if anyone is interested .
Seems to be a good 3b rotating assembly minus the head . Has one piston that got a bit beat up from a dropped pre-cup. No head, no pump Good oil pan
Set of soft doors for a kayline top? many different stock axle shafts front and rear for 40 and 60 series. Quite a few short 40 series driveshafts.
couple of 60 series wiring harnesses .Would rather not throw this stuff away.Hoping someone might able to use it. Pm me on here and I'll send my address. Leave your phone number and I can text pictures.
More to come.

Has anyone ever tried tightening up a slip shaft that’s starting to have a small amount of play by swapping on a new short end? Do they wear evenly or is one end more prone to wear?

I’d like a drive shaft or two for a 40.

So long as they line up I'd say you could mix and match. I meant the universal joint ends.
Bit of extra new grease makes a difference, just don't over do it.

Yes, but it doesn't last long. The better half wears to match the s***ty half pretty quickly.

60 spare tire carrier/crossmember.

If you start soaking it in oil and descaler now, it might come loose before you die.

Seems like the kind of thing Bradford would love as much as sway bars. (Kidding, we know there's nothing he loves as much as sway bars.)

One of these days I'm gonna do a serious shed purge, but till then, save this s*** from schnitzels. I'm tired of tripping over it.

40 fuel tank. Needs patching.

42 fuel tank skid.

61 pedal cluster.

Hard top glass.

Center console from a 70's 40 I think?

Moldy glove box also free.

This s*** won't survive my next trip to the recycler. I hate to chuck it , but what can you do?

 

[stevebradford]

Put me down for the hardtop glass, I will even bring beer!

That pedal bucket is great for anyone wanting to do a LHD to RHD conversion! -->

That makes it worth more south of the border, go for it!

Sounds like you need it.

Just think...you can rid yourself of the Rotten Ronnie's temptation when you're driving and better yet, you can bolt useless chrome s*** to your truck without shame because it's supposedly JDM cool...(1 in 3 JDM nerds polled agree)




Or make your truck a trainer so the passenger has clutch and brakes too

I’ll take it… I’ve got a couple of those filters I’m running. I’ll not be able to pick it up for a bit…

This will probably be my view for a week or two. We’re on the other side of the pond for a while.

Cleaning out my service truck. 1,2,3” slings, various lengths. Bring beer, take what you need, talk cruisers.
