well today was a rainy day, so i cleaned up some in the shed and started to get the differential peices cleaned and prep , as of yet i dont have all the parts i need since some bearing are in rough shape and some of the spacer where ruff too, but i did get a lot of stuff clean and it is getting there slowly but surely, unfortunatly i will have to fiddle around with my ton truck since my slave cinlinder seem to bet on it way out, so i will have to fi my daily driver before i get more progress on the m-truck...lol, otherwise i am stuck driving her car!....not an option...lol

anyhow here are the pictures of the day, enjoy!

races in rough shape, note how pitted they are


some clean diferential parts!


and the search for good part begins

Do you have CRC products there? They have in a green can "Soft Seal" It will work very well for many years. You have to use a solvent to get it off.
Enjoying your thread. Cheers, Lynn.

[pauljboudreau]

well today was a slow day, my back was killing me so i didn't do much, i got the drum and the hub at the garage to get them turned, took me about 1 hour and a half to get the race in the hub lol, couldn't find a confortable way of working...lol... then i got the brake stud back in the plate and i prepped the new front brake pad for paint, i cleaned a few wheel bearing and the harware, i had to file the punch marks on the bearing nut since some clown did not use the proper socket to remove them at some point in the last 45 year, and i got the hardware and the bumper plate togheter and started cleaning some tread on the hardware

anyhow here are the pics of the day, enjoy!
