Well Gang it's almost february and this is the month that the 40 will come alive and breath fire!! Saturday Feb. 18th is the day I'm gonna have the help a member of the month day. All are welcome over to the carport to participate in this great day of wrenching. In store for the day is to rebuild the disk axle that will go under the 40....this will be a complete axle rebuild with new 30 spline birfs and axles...fairly new brake lines...The reassembly should go fairly smoothly and the only thing left to do after that day is to get the new calipers and take the axle to Marshall's and weld on the spring perches. Also going on this fine day will be the installation of a 4 speed tranny and tcase into an f engine. And this will include installing a new oil pan gasket...flywheel..4speed clutch..bellhousing(may already be done for time sakes)...new seals and gaskets. I have to measure my drive shafts...I have an extra 4 speed one for the front and I think the back is ok...may have to get them re done. So if you are to come join in the ferstivities you will learn a lot..including myself and you will have a blast. I'll have drinks and lunch will be sandwhiches...I'll have the frie pit goin to keep us warm as we work.
How to get to my house....come down 123 take the clemson exit and go towards central...the bilo will be on your left and the old winn dixie on your right...in front of winn dixie is Sardis Den, take a right between Sardis den and Capital Bank...go to the stop sign..take a left..go around the curve take your first left and then your first right, which is Pleasant View Dr....It's 109 Pleasant View Dr. on the right. I'll be startin just after breakfast so if ya get here and I'm not outside just come knock on the door...prob finishin up breakfast. Bring what ever tools ya have....an air compressor with an impact wrench will be of great help for the old axle removal.... Marshall if ya wanna bring your welder you can, I do have a 220 outlet in the room in the carport...how long is the cord on yoru welder? But I do understand it may be easier for me to haul the axle to your house. Any kind of pullers, pushers, and pounders you have bring it cause we may need it. Alan, Marshal, JP...anyone else...if you can think of other tools i need please let me know.
After the 18th the only thing left to do Mechanically is the rear brake conversion and replace with the dual master cylinder and refit with new rear brake lines....then the beast will be ready to roll.
Thanks a bunch!! Chuck
