Well, atlas is in, 63 leafs are in 14bolt is in, front leaf hangers got reworked for a better shackle angle. Front axle is back together with new nongreaseable u joints. 35 spline outers, and ECGS drive flanges, found a 10k smitty winch with synthetic line for a smoking deal. Got some custom...
First shot at the shackle angle in the front was a flop. With weight we are at 38 degrees. I'm going to cut those shackle hangers off and redo those. Try to get to 30. We we will see. Next on the list is to finish off the trans mount and paint it. Then land the rear spring hangers. And mount the...
Man, it's been a while since I posted anything.... I had a heart attack that really light a fire under my butt. Let's see, 345 is out 6.0l is in. tcase mounted, dana 44s out and sold, dana 60 and 70 turned out to be a 61 and 71. Sold those, baught a dana 60 and 14 bolt. Then found a smoking deal...
Was able to pickup a matching pair of axles from an 89 cummins. Dana 60 front, dana 70 rear. $800. Goal is to 4link the front (which I've never done) and leaf the rear with the 63s that came off the gmc. To keep my budget happy for now. I was also going to follow my friend's advice on welding...
Stripped an 03 gmc 2500 for the 6.0l and 4l80e.
Will need to figure out what I need to mate the atlas to the 4l80e. Probably a new adapter and update some internals for the output shaft of the 4l80e. If you know anyone that's in need of a 261 tcase, I have one laying around.
Okay, so I was tossing around the idea of selling the scout to build a buggy. After further contemplating I am now going to build the scout and hope to build a buggy in the future. Where we live, a heater and cab make wheeling great.
Set up now is 345/727/atlas. Leaf sprug front and rear dana...
