Project daily drivable 62 C20

[72cs20]

Time for a quick update since I'm finally ready for the next big mod on the 62.
I've had a Dana 60 rear axle swap on the schedule and the axle is now built. Complete new internals from end to end. The gears are 3.73 with a true-trac limited slip differential.


I hope to have this axle installed within the next 2-3 weeks. And even though I don't own a welder or know how to weld. I guess it is about time to learn how to weld and try to tackle the job myself.

I'm using Captain Fab's trailing arm mounts which are 1/8 inch steel. If I decide to do this job myself, what kind of welder would be right for jobs like this? Captain?

Since my last entry I've logged 125 miles of test driving. The only thing that has come up is an annoying drive-line vibration between 35 and about 48 mph in fourth gear. I'll address this when I do the axle swap. All other systems working great.
