Here is a question that has haunted me throughout my thread and I never gave a straight answer. What is my tire size on the truck?? Well here it is in all it's rubber band glory. Rims are 20X8.5 front and 22X10 on the rear. The front tire is 225/35ZR20 90W and the back is 255/30ZR22 95W. I have a 71 rearend in it with a 1/4 spacer. 5.5 inch on the BS if I am not mistaken.

Moving forward, what can I do to keep from cratering another carrier bearing? The first one actually ripped apart when I put my foot down on the gas pedal a little hard. I thought maybe I could tack weld along the top edges where the other one ripped apart but that still does not seem to be very bulletproof. These are a PITA to put in. Any good ideas or possible aftermarket stuff out there?

Nice! We'll have to get together and swap old war stories, or we could go to a car show......doesn't matter to me.

VA72C10 · 05-14-2012, 10:45 PM

there are some really nice aftermarket carrier bearings out there....but they are $$$...

you can flip the carrier bearing mount upside down and it will put it at a better angle and help it not to go through so much wear/tear....
(I learned that one on here and did it on my bagged 70 although I never got a chance to drive it....)

...but that involves removing rivets and bolting or welding it on....

I think that I saw that somewhere on here, guess my search is on. Also will be checkin into the aftermarket scene. If it costs $150-$200 it would be worth it to avoid laying under my truck for four hours!

Thanks VA, as usual you are the first line of defense before we make stupid, uneducated decisions!!!!!

That was the most well thought out compliment I have ever received! I like the part were you started reading my thread at work and almost 9 hours later you finished it!!

You ROCK firedog!!!! That's dedication....to the thread!!! Thank you for seeing the struggles and victories in my build, that means alot to me. I am glad you enjoyed it.

It was cool, the photog said when he saw my truck he was hoping to have a chance to shoot it. His site has 11 pics of it and the other rides have 1 to 4 pics each...

feels good!!
