Project ugly duckling

Either way, looks good. I noticed that you don't have steering column covers, do you need some? I can bring some to SOP if you want...

[dazedandconfused]

I think I have them just don't have the stupid little screws for them. I have sthi laying all over.

[CumminsPower59]

Ah, right on. I do have them too, if you need them...

So Ive been fighting the urge to convert the duck to 4x4. I don't really know why I guess I'm just bored and need to tear it apart again lol.

You need to go find a woman,they'll fill your time

How's the trans

[dazedandconfused]

Oh the trans hates me. Lol I was going to take my 47rh slip yoke and have a shaft made but apparently its different since it won't slide into the 518.

[dazedandconfused]

So I ate another one of those dam conversion joints today. I bought a cheap u-joint and used the caps to try and get bye. I don't know what's up with those dam caps splitting but the cheap ones I replace them with last.

I can hear that little brown truck screaming from here that it wants a 47RH.

That conversion joint is clear at the back isn't it? I'd think it'd be 1410 at the slip yoke and then 1410/???? at the axle. I just looked and found a 1410 yoke for the 9" doesn't exist which I think is strange.

[dazedandconfused]

Yeah its at the rear end. Its a 1410/1350 conversion joint. I was told by the company I got it from I just have to much power for them.

Sounds like a pussy joint to me. Can you find another manufacture of this style bastajoint

[dazedandconfused]

Nope they are the only ones I found making them.

[dazedandconfused]

After using my brain a little I figured maybe I'll go to the junkyard and try to find a shaft out of a Ford to be modified to fit my truck.

[PToombs]

Don't you have a ford sitting in the yard?

[ellis93]

I did that with the 82. I found the dodge shaft would slide over the Chevy stuff,but had some slop to it. The slop I took out by wrapping the Chevy shaft with 2" wide electrical tape every 4" down the length of it,then slid it inside the dodge shaft. I cut both shafts really long so I knew that would keep them straight,lined up the yoke ears,and welded it out. The few times I've driven it(up to 60mph) it didn't vibrate.

And there went my opinion of your skills again, fell right off the scale. I think you need to move to Kentucky with the rest of them.........
