Project ugly duckling

[dazedandconfused]

My driveshaft is all 1410 and the yoke on the rear axle is 1330. I got quoted $275 to make a drive shaft.

Oh I see now.

Okay so this morning when I went out to try this I found our glass garage door shattered all over my truck. My brother had a party and somehow destroyed the door. So after being able to get under it and measure again I got it together. Like RC said its a very tight fit though. Need to fix a busted brake line but she moves. Posi works too.

[dazedandconfused]

This door was all glass.

I just pulled out the ujoint book at work. I don't see a 1330x1410 conversion joint. $275 doesn't sound terrible, the PO of my truck had a 1 piece shaft made and he said it was over $400.

[dazedandconfused]

It was a 1350 joint its just a tight ass fit. I found my calipers and did all the meassureing. The price of having a shaft built if I needed one wasn't bad but the month and a half turn around of the local shop was. I'll run this until I break something.

Nothing wrong with neapco, except what you see.... when you replace that any other joint wil be loose now.

[dazedandconfused]

Yeah since they are the only one that makes that joint I don't think I'll have to worry about another fitting loose. I have to put new break lines on the axle and it needs rear tires but that's about it to make it drivable. I threw the cap back on too.

So since I sold Chris my 24V I'm back to driving the Duck. I had put new tires on the front about a month or so ago and put new ones on the back today. Rears are 31x10.50-15's and fronts are 215/75/15's. I'm running the 31's since I plan on going 31x16.50-15's so wanted to see how much I needed to lower the rear and how the gearing runs. With the 3.25 gear and 31" tires the speedo is dead nuts on according to GPS.

Think I need to replace my lift pump too.

[dazedandconfused]

Decided to work a little on my donor cab earlier while my stomach had eased up some. I have to put a driverside floor pan in but the rest is solid.




No cracks in this one unlike mine.



Carpet had no wear holes either.

My old cab.

[RumbleFish]

Those 31s make it look just right. I'm loving it!

[cmann250]

You weren't kidding when you said that anything was an improvement over the cab you had.

[dazedandconfused]

Yeah my cab is crap Caleb. The one I got from you is awesome just needs that driver side pan I was planning on it needing. I wish it was about an inch lower in the back Jeff.

I love this truck!
