These two pics show the tapered shaft on the diff that I will be fitting to Met gas carrier both shots are the same but different lighting ,

Morning Bob,
As always you come up trumps, now the next question is, do you have or know where I can get the driven arms that I need to complete this carrier?
Many thanks for your reply . Regards, Ron

Just a small update this shows one of the rear bogies, both have been removed ready to fit the new wheels

These show the newly manufactured bin platform and side wings in place not welded in as yet I will do that after the diff is fitted its much easier to fit the diff before these plates are welded in

Ford must supply at least two different main shafts for these boxes. The short one (internal thread) fits the English and Canadian carriers, and the long one (external thread), the LP2/2a's.
I think the short one is from the enclosed drive shaft models, whilst the long one, is from the exposed drive shaft trucks.
What I'd like to know now; is the long shaft the same as the one in the Dodge 4 speed truck box (New process)?
The cluster, 1st, 2nd,and 3rd gear are the same as Ford.

Hello Lyn,
And thanks for your prompt reply, well that explains it, and makes sense, I could not work out what was wrong, so it looks as if I have to get a longer main shaft for this gear box? sure makes life interesting,
many thanks Ron

Hi Lyn,
Thanks for your help regarding the longer shaft, I managed to get one of these today, also the driven arm to fit the tapered shaft of the diff, I am heading off in the morning to look at some more carriers on a station out west there are 7 or 8 of them in various state of disrepare, should be good for some parts,
Thanks again for your help,
Regards, Ron
