Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
oh haha well then they didnt weld it properly or somthin like that
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
thats even funnier because the welds held just fine, it ripped in right about the middle. still havent went out to take it apart yet, but im sure the u joints are just fine, heck.... i even think the carrier bearing is just fine
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
ok then it really is a mr e
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
went out and pulled out the drive shaft, all of the u joints and carrier bearing is fine, will take it in to have the tube replaced on the rear shaft in the morning. hopefully it wont cost me to much $$

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
Did it ever hit a cross member or anything with the bags deflated or aired all the way up?
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
nope, didn't hit anything till it twisted in half, then it hit the bottom of the rear floor tunnel i had made for drive shaft clearance.
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
thats the first time ive seen something like this. so when you get it replaced...how can you tell if its not gonna happen again? (as in, is there anything preventable to make sure it doesnt snap again?)

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
yah me to, i'm taking it to a local drive line guy to have him do the work, will ask him what he thinks, maybe have him put a bigger tube on it or something if that would even make a difference in strength

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
kucky at least you have a drive line to fix! :haha:

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
that isn't even the same rear shaft, that is a completely different one. its been changed from the splined yoke where the carrier bearing presses on all the way to the end. the center u-joint couldn't be reused because the new shaft had a wider joint peace, and then with the new center u-joint, the splined yoke piece had to be changed because the new u-joint didn't fit right in the old one

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
Dropped burbs are probably a little more popular in Cali than over here in E. Washington, everyone who see's mine thinks it's a hearse. The paint schee probably doesn't help.
Nice ride though I like the direction it's going |
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
not today, but yesterday. i took the 1.5" adapters/spacers off the rear, cut a small amount off of each wheel stud and put on my new 1" wheel adapter/spacers and aired it out to check for clearance on the fender, no rubbing :metal:.
