Possible 55

[pkniland]

Not sure yet, its still in the queue down in SC waiting for a diagnosis.

I had to do this to free up the lift

55 should be in tomorrow

@Roxx AISIN hub? This is the 78

 

[roadstr6]

That is an AISIN hub. Good!

 

[Roxx]

Yeap. You got it. It may be the long body too. Great!!

 

[pkniland]

Do I have to get into the hub assembly to actually get it off right, or just it come off as a complete unit?

 

[roadstr6]

ASCO = AISIN. Remove six outer bolts to remove dial. IIRC there is a snap ring inside. Remove the six nuts holding the hub. They'll have cone washers behind them. Once free, the locking hub will come off. Removing the hub exposes the big axle nut and the locking tab washer, bearings, etc.

 

[roadstr6]

Do you have this axle here at your house or are these just pics from your buddy up north?

 

[pkniland]

Just pics. I’m headed up for a bachelor party the first week in March. We are going to tear it down and bring the pieces back in a tub

 

[roadstr6]

Tetanus booster up to date? OMG those shocks! Maybe ask your buddy to coat the whole thing with WD or PB Blaster once a week until March?

 

[pkniland]

I wanted something that would match the truck

Ive gotten a few questions about the pig and just wanted to everyone an update. Stan got both axles rebuilt and most of the steering components replaced. The carb was gummed up so we sent it to Jim C late February and was told about a 4-5 week turnaround. We still haven't got it and I am having trouble getting in touch with him for a status update. Unfortunately it wont be ready for Relic. Just wanted to give everyone and update and thank Stan for his patience through this.

If the carb's all gummed up, and you're having a hard time making contact you get it back, and it's already with Stan....
Do I hear the rumble of a V8?

Don't feel bad, the 45 won't make it either.

It might be the RUSSLING of divorce papers...

Your wife must be into diesel swaps then.

That's waaaaaaay too much lipstick for this Pig

 

[pkniland]

So the truck got shipped back to Wingate today and @roadstr6 came over and was able to get it running with a spare carb he had. Dave’s the man. Looks like a new fuel pump and clutch slave cylinder is on order but it was great to hear it running.
