Looks great! I'm planning to use a new CE reversed eye spring and front end kit for a 1" drop, but keep the stock axle as-is. Do you think it...
Quick update: swapping axle tubes on the 8.8" has proven to be impossible thus far at home. My cousin and I have broken parts of 2 hydraulic body...
Can some of you guys comment on the 302/351w in this application and why you decided against it? I have access to a wrecked '86 Capri with 80kish...
Here's an album link to the pics I took before we started - some of you guys might get a kick out of this:...
I grabbed a couple of the 3.73 geared posi disc brake 8.8s from Harold's this weekend, both under 150k miles out of V6 Explorers for $300 plus tax...
Some pics to share; Classic Street found some cancelled checks from Union State Bank in Florence circa 1948 under the seat (a fold of them being...
Awesome!
Yes, $300 for both - and both will have 1.31" 31 spline axles.
Def keeping the beam axle, prolly stock with a reversed eye spring. Seems the easiest route and I can always change it up later. My current...
I'm quickly moving away from the M20 idea (which seems very involved) and moving toward the 350/350 - which really sucks. I wanted a manual shift....
Here's some pics of the hacked up firewall, hacked up trans cover, and rusty floor board. Trey
More good news this evening - getting not one, but two complete '96-99 8.8" posi Explorer rear ends for $300 thanks to my neighbor across the...
WOW greaser! That is fully involved. Looks great!
DOH! Yeah, sorry - I was in a hurry leaving work when I typed that. I am familiar with the T-5. I had just read a thread about the typical TH350...
Thanks 40FordGuy! My grandpa and I used to cruise around all over the place in it when I was a little kid, so it's an expense of love and a great...
I'm about to try to cram an M20 into my '41 Ford Pickup that my grandpa had a Saginaw 3spd in previously - what made you decide against the...
Is there a good picture thread on the HAMB showing an M20/Manual tucked up into the stock wishbone set-up? One thing I noticed is that my grandpa...
Love all of the trucks guys, thanks for sharing pics and what you did - it helps a lot on formulating a plan moving forward. Here's the complete...
Is there any reason I'd want to keep the wishbone intact? And can't I drop the front end about an inch by just reversing the spring eyes without...
mj40’s – I have read both of your threads top to bottom prior to joining the forum. They are super educational and I learned a bunch...
The quotes I'm getting are from JPL for Chassis Engineering and Heidt's stuff. They seem to be about the lowest prices around. With a...
Anyone got a 3.55ish posi center section for an 8" Ford at a reasonable price?
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Howdy folks, Started the restoration of my grandpa's '41 Ford Pickup hot rod this last Monday with Classic Street out in Taylor, TX. Tear down...
300hp SBC 350, M-20 or T-5, Ford 8.8" or 9", 2" drop, probably flat midnight blue with black interior and dark blue bench. Keeping it very simple.
Been using it for months! Thanks! :)
Here's what mine looked like yesterday - restoration started this morning! Trey
Here's what she looked like yesterday, before the restoration began. Currently a non-posi Tri-5 rear with odd-ball long parallel leafs, 283/230...
