Side gear looks great. I've found the missing pieces online, I'd just like to be sure they will fit in that housing. I'm thinking now I have an...
Great picture. Thanks! Different machining on the face shows me I don't have a standard carrier. So I'm back to not knowing what the hell I have....
The ring gear half is stamped C6AW 4205-B, and no it doesn't have the 2 screw holes. That's why I'm suspecting it was a regular Ford open that...

No, just 4 tabs on the clutches, trac loc style. One shim in the bottom, no Belleville.
It made no noises, just worked like an open rear end. The problem is there are no springs. Clutches look like new since they have never been used....
Always thought this car had an open rear end until it came apart. Looks like a trac loc. Anybody spot the problem in the pictures? How did...
Thanks for the replies. I did have a strange thing with the setup. Pinion depth was marked .995 and it took a little over .060” in pinion shims to...

It’s apparently not everywhere yet. I just bought a steering box on eBay from a guy in Minnesota, about an hour ago. No sales tax.
The owner and builder of the car who hand made the grill is Rich Ciarletta from Ohio. I’ll PM you his contact info

Forget the pal nuts, use Loctite.
I just added the CPP 500 power steering box to my '56. It works great, bolts on, no problems. Also lowered the car with CPP 1.5" lowering springs...
Thanks for the replies. I've checked out tri-five.com, lots of good info there. I now understand what needs to be done to use the original column...
Already got a floor shifter so shift linkage is not a problem.
I think I'd rather have the power box.
I need to add power steering to my '56 Chevy. SBC with side mounts, short water pump, stock front suspension. Just started shopping and it looks...
I'm going as a first timer in my '39 coupe. Any advice from you veterans so I don't have to learn the hard way?
BTT for one more try....
Thanks! I would have preferred the original windshield and frame, and some stock door handles, and some rubber on the running boards, definitely a...
Last fall I picked up a street roddy '39 Ford Deluxe coupe for a winter project. I'm curious to see if anyone knows the original builder. I don't...
Pull the dizzy. Come on, is it that hard to say distributor?
Post cars. Post what, post war? Chained to a post? The mailman's old car? AAHHH, I get it now, they mean a sedan as opposed to a hardtop.
