Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Think I caused the failure of the ujoint. The only bad ones were where the u bolts hold it onto the pinion . I must have been over zealous in tightening them down . And I highly recommend the Tiger tool for u joint removal makes it super easy I don’t even use the 20 ton press any longer.

Super easy . Another must have tool I bought it to remove the u joints on the front axles on my Dodge . Even though it said it was for that application it seemed a little too small . It still worked but the next size up would have worked better they make three sizes . This is the medium one

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Some of the "super" u-joints don't have a grease zerk and are not cross drilled for grease channels. This is supposed to aid in strength. That probably matters more for the hardcore offroaders. I just generally try to buy spicer or moog because the seals and grease used seem to be higher quality than the cheaper parts store ones.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got mine back on the road after been down for 20 months, I know not a long time in the rebuild scheme of things, so was out cruising the last 2 days.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Put the driveshaft back in the 72 . Drives like a new truck nice and smooth . Then I put the front bumper back on the 68 what biatch of a job . No matter how much monkeying around with it it’s still not to my liking . I think it’s a little twisted as I get one side in and the other upper bracket didn’t line up . It’s an aftermarket so I would doubt the twist

Did my first oil change after 500 mile break in! Big step. So far so good on the Blueprint 355/390hp!

I like how you Two-Toned the interior. Not Factory, I don't think, but it sure looks cool.

Replaced some scrungy rear wheel cylinders, but still failed to bleed the back system.
