Re: build thread " 4 by" 68 custom camper 4wd 1/2ton

OK, i think i figured this stuffs out lol.....

77 4wd system: axle is always engaged but transfer case is not until you shift it.
67 72 4wd system: you can select weather the axle is free or locked and transfer case is not locked until you shift it.


correct??????


if so then all i have to do is remove the caps and install all my dads gears and manually locking hubcaps on the axle and we are good correct????

just the lock outs on the hubs if the gears are the same ratio.

Keep at it, you are doing a great job!

I like the color scheme you got going,lol.

All the the small jobs add up to making a nice drivable rig, plus you've done a heck of alot more lately than I have.

If this is a joke, then it's not funny.

I hope it is a joke.

It is, isn't it?

Re: build thread " 4 by" 68 custom camper 4wd 1/2ton

well its not a joke but i didnt scrap it and the engine never blew. just wanted to see if you guys were even paying attention anymore. and it even took 2 days before someone repiled...... i think this board hates this truck! lol ( i agree with you though its not funny about scraping and the engine blowing up.)

this friday im going to get some steel rims for it and put them on with the 68 hub caps.

yesterday the truck got a bath and today its being the work horse for my 67 ( its pulling my 67 to the shops and towing the trailer.)

Re: build thread " 4 by" 68 custom camper 4wd 1/2ton

You have got to remember that this is the four wheel drive area and that there aren't as many young instant messengers over here.
Hope this helps keep you going. Good job!
