Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
^^^ THAT'S what I wanted the burb rear end for! Which is why I was excited at first to think the burb rear end was wider. Then bummed to see my tape measure had lied.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
I'm finding a bunch with 3.42's, just not anywhere near me. I may have to take a trip to the yard this Saturday to see what's close by.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
They were only about a 1/4" different per side. I can tell you that the 18x9.5 Boss 338 that I have for "Bob" fit beautifully with this rear. I actually replaced the u joint...twice...before I came to the realization that the stock one would have fit
![]() ^^^ I did put the new Eaton in myself with new bearing and all, but I took about a dozen measurements with a dial indicator before I removed the stock carrier. Last edited by nlped; 08-27-2009 at 10:03 PM. |

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
I did look there Wynne. The ones with prices start at $250. The local yard sells complete rear ends for $100 without drums, $150 with, but it's u-pull. I have a small portable hot wrench that will make that job easy.
![]() Scored on eBay this morning, which required that I sign up again for Paypal. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'll probably swap the entire cluster instead of just the speedo, except I like the original fuel gauge better. It says E, 1/2, F instead of the empty black circle, half white half black circle, and white circle. And it has a trip odometer too! The lower left gauge spot is empty, so I will see if I can install my Autometer fuel pressure gauge there. That way won't have to mount it under the dash.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
THAT WAS YOU!!??
J/K! nice score Bob. i'm going to go w/ the autometer gauges that fit in the stock bezel. that should eliminate any problems with the font matching. i'll just need an electric speedo and the rest manual gauges like the stock ones?.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
![]() The stock gauges should be electric already (temp, oil psi). Even if not, I would go with all electric gauges.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
I'm gonna build my own bezel out of aluminum and mount all my Autometer Phantom guages in it. I'm gonna relocate the radio, A/C controls and the left lower A/C vent at the same time too.
Not really relocate as much as move around. I have drawn it up a few different ways on Autocad at a friends machine shop, but that is the extent of it so far. Last edited by nlped; 08-28-2009 at 04:00 PM. Reason: Clarify |

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Sounds cool, but......
be careful when you say you are just going to "move around" a few things on your dash Ask me how I know that this can turn bad! ![]()

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Yeah, I have already seen pics of the other truck. I don't have the skills to do that much modification. I do, however, have a huge drawer full of hammers from very small to a genuine BFH

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
All metal fabrication starts with a hammer!!!
![]() And sometimes it ends with one too, depending on how the original hammer work turned out! ![]()

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Captian's log, star date August 29, 2009. As the life fluid slowly drains from Fred, so begins the tedious transition towards a new life.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Yeah buddy! Lunch break now, then let the nuts and bolts fly!!
I had to do an oil change in my car first, then I somewhat put the burb rear end back together (less gears) so I could get it to roll again. Then I welded it to the leaf springs! ![]()

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Um, yeah, what did happen there? Actually, my wife seems to be impressed that I drove it as long as I did! I put about 3000 mile on him at least.
![]() Well, his old heart is on the floor. Had to take miscellaneous breaks here and there for different stuff.... my daughters ATV ran out of gas, so I had to stop and go rescue her. My brother stopped by to chat for a while. But it's out, and I'll get the trans out either tomorrow or.... whenever. ![]() Now starts the clean up, picking apart the wiring to get all the stuff that runs to the ECM out, etc. I did find one problem with the engine plates though. The right side interferes with the AC compressor bracket to the point where I thought I would have to make new engine mount plates that set back 1", which would move the engine forward 1". I got to thinking about it while I was in the shower, and I'm going to see if I can move the right engine stand on the truck back 1", then fab a new engine mount for the engine side. If it works, I'll make a jig so I can reproduce them since there are a few more of use doing this same swap.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Poor Fred, He lost his heart.
But the quadruple-bypass will make him forget ll about it. Showers are always great places to formulate the days work and hash out the next criteria.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
LOL, I get some of my best ideas while in the shower. And the dash for the 68? I dreamed that up while I was in the, um, well.. "back" office.
![]() Here's my problem: ![]() ![]() Instead of moving the entire stand, I think I can weld a gusseted plate to the back side of the stand, then re-drill new holes and move the rubber mount back. I think that will be fairly easy. Then I can clearance the AC mount just enough to clear the upper front bolt and an 1/8" piece of plate, then fab a mount that sets back 1'. ![]()
