Now that you have them figured out and better than the other product you should make a stash and offer them for sale. Maybe make a version with 1/4-NPT threads in place of the 12 mm for people with stripped out heads. |

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Truck freight couldn't be that much on 200 pounds from WA to CO.
![]() I could get you the carrier & gears and ship those to you if you can't get what you want locally for a decent price. Probably be $80 after shipping cost. That goes for anybody else too. Just let me know what gear you are looking for and I will see what they have on hand. |

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
I have gears for my rear end, but it's a complete 88-98 rear that I want. Freight on a complete rearend (200#, Class 85) with my freight discount is $112. So not really that much better than what I can get here. Appreciate the offer though!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
So is the advantage of the 88-98 rear end just the added track width, or is there any other benefit?

One other added benefit you might count is that it is likely to have less miles on it than another 73-87 donor rear end.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
How easy is it to mount under a 73-87 truck? I know nlped had some issues when he put his under the truck and was lowering it.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Well, Dennis paid a visit to my salesman at Rancho!
![]() Oh how I would have LOVED to have been a fly on the wall this afternoon! Dennis, THANKS BROTHER!! ![]() BTW, I just got an email from him saying the pedal, harness and module should ship today. And I quote: " I apologise for the poor service (as stated by the fellow that was here this morning) We will try to do better. "

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"

![]() It involves removing the spring perches and shock mounts from the original and welding them on to the replacement. Of course, care needs to be taken to install the perches in the right location and making sure the pinion angle is correct. Same with making sure the shock brackets are in the right location. E-brake stuff should swap over, and I am not sure on brake lines. The 88-98 might be metric, but the 73-87 wheel cylinders might also swap over. Or I suppose the entire backing plate couple be swapped. If I remember correctly, Ed's issue was the diameter of the 88-98 housing is larger in diameter, so a typical 73-87 flip kit won't fit. But if you do this swap and do the flip at the same time, simply weld the perches on the bottom of the housing instead of the top.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Oh, I forgot to add..... I picked up the pedal and harness from the dealership around 11:30 this morning. Hopefully by about 17:30 I'll know if I am going cruising on Sunday or not!

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
^^^Yeah that was my only issue with the rearend. The primary brake line on the newer rearend from the frame to the housing works with the factory fitting up top. I used the larger '96 rear brakes without issue. The added width really made the factory ralley's look more even front to rear, and the new 18x9.5" wheels look GREAT with the added track width...if they will just finish the damn new version so I can have my fronts. The other primary advantage to the '88-'98 rearend is that it is 30 spline rather than 28 spline and there are more posi applications available for the 30 spline ones.

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Awesome! I read this entire thread today and have anxiously been awaiting the update!
![]() I have a '87 that has been in the family a LONG time. It has a fairly weak TBI 305, and is ready for a repower. I was just about to build a mild TBI 350 roller motor to replace the 305. I was having a hard time getting excited about the TBI 350. I now KNOW what I'm going to do! Thanks for all of the great pictures and valuable information. I will start a bulid thread when I get the ball rolling. I deleted the pics here and added them to the "pictures" post. Last edited by Mr.Chevy4x4; 09-25-2009 at 09:34 PM. |

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
Good news!!!! And a little bad....
First, the bad. The flipping heater core is leaking now!! So I have that half way out. And the thermostat is stuck. I have a LOT heat in the block and the heater hoses, but the lower radiator hose is cold less than 2" away from the water neck. The top hose is cold. So tomorrow I get to go buy a heater core and a thermostat. I hate doing heater cores, cause I hate antifreeze! Otherwise, I did get to drive it up and down the driveway a couple time. It's gravel, so I didn't get on it, but I can tell it's gonna be really responsive! ![]()

Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"
AWESOME!! RIGHT ON BOB!!! i dont know how to make my words big so i used caps!
thats great news he runs with throttle control... i bet your taking out the thermostat, poking holes in it, by passing the heater core and out driving right now ![]() and btw, just glad i could help and be of service. It was good talking to you today Bob we'll meet one day soon!! Feel free to use that number anytime buddy. i'm glad they sent an email at least apologizing and trying to make it right even if "sorry" doesnt cover lost time and money.
