Tough to get to the lug nuts though

Better be rocking Burt’s signature facial hair to pull that off at insanity fab. Hell they might just give you the trophy.

You know me too well. Of course Ill be rocking the Burt

the stache grows in as soon as you turn the key in that bad boy

I got my ass in gear a pulled the trans and Tcase out Friday night.


Got the ole StaK O Shit on the bench for a tear down inspection. Ive been on a waiting list from TWF for a few years for a replacement range shaft and wasnt going to purchase it until I had a look inside at the internals to see if it was even worth it


Turns out its all good to go, other than a snap ring that had come out and let the high range gear move back a Jiff, which is most likely why the rear has been pooping out in high range, seated the snap ring back in


and gave it an expensive oil bath

kit kinda. bought the brackets and its uses Ford Van rear rotors as the vans are still 8x6.5 not metric. then Chevy front rotors and pads, some Stainless lines and you are done

Chevys, always making Fords better Probably save some weight too

Started the tear down/case swap. Donor Trans, hopefully the case is in good shape after a clean up


Got most of the guts out and look in decent shape. Might get my old case welded up and slap these parts into it


Didn't have a 12 point 3/8 socket so as far as I got last night, all that's left is the last drum and tail shaft assembly

were you running the spacers with the drums as well or are you trying to get more track width now
