Hey guys, Im new to the forums. My name is Chris. I have a '68 pickup that has been a good truck sofar. I decided to mess around with it a little bit to see if it would do a burnout. Put it in 1st(its a 3 speed with 292) and dumped the clutch(not really sidestep, just released it quickly) First time was awesome. Didnt break a sweat, but the second time made some bad noises. The driveline was dragging, and the diff on the 12 bolt was turned up way further then it should be. It broke the welds that keep the diff from twisting. Iv never seen this or heard of it. I don't think it will be too hard to fix, but I thought id share my little mishap. I think I can turn it back down and weld it back together. If not, i'll look for another 12bolt. No more beatings for this old pickup, I like it too much to keep breaking it. Pics:
