oh haha well then they didnt weld it properly or somthin like that

*project 67 sub* · 03-13-2011, 10:06 PM

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

67chevy1series · 03-13-2011, 11:48 PM

ok then it really is a mr e

*project 67 sub* · 03-14-2011, 01:12 AM

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 $$

Did it ever hit a cross member or anything with the bags deflated or aired all the way up?

*project 67 sub* · 03-14-2011, 03:23 AM

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.

**kev2809** · 03-14-2011, 10:42 AM

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?)

*project 67 sub* · 03-14-2011, 02:08 PM

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

1sik7t2 · 03-14-2011, 05:13 PM

kucky at least you have a drive line to fix!

*project 67 sub* · 03-15-2011, 02:56 AM

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

*project 67 sub* · 03-15-2011, 04:51 PM

Love the cruise pics

*project 67 sub* · 03-17-2011, 11:28 PM

thanks, i thought they were kind of cool to, but i like the show pics better though lol.

akgrown · 03-28-2011, 07:40 PM

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

*project 67 sub* · 03-28-2011, 11:41 PM

thanks guys for all the positive comments and props, it means alot

*project 67 sub* · 03-31-2011, 03:07 AM

a couple of pics i took of the burb layed out in the grass at a buddy of mines house. enjoy

*project 67 sub* · 04-05-2011, 01:04 AM

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

.

**kev2809** · 04-23-2011, 05:45 PM

*project 67 sub* · 04-24-2011, 02:58 AM
