Where do I buy this?
Ok all, recently back from Afghanistan, time to buy more truck things and maybe paint it before Florida clams my truck to the rust deamon.
Where can I buy 4-6 inch tubs for a SWB step-side (current tire is rubbing and want the option to go slightly larger but not venture into pro street territory) Going to put a wood bed back in it. Choke cable with the 64 knob on it.. not that 60-63 knob. Posi unit for the 64 rear diff. (it's a 12 bolt but I remember there was more to the old diff's besides the bolt count) What type of clutch / pressure plate are some of you higher hp / torque / V8 guys running? I think thats all.. I have been out of the scene for a while and didn't know if there was a new "standard" that has happened for some of these parts since I've gone inactive. Alex |

Re: Where do I buy this?
Your 64 Posi issue is something I'm looking at as well. 17 spline axles for 63-64 they changed apparently after that. The option is to find a hard to find unit or change out the axles as well and get a common posi unit.
There is an option of changing your diff out completely for a diff from the early 70's which are wider and would have the common axles and possibly a posi unit already in it. You would not need the wheel tubs with the wider diff. Information provided in threads by the members on this site.

Re: Where do I buy this?
I thought about the 70 diff. But I am at about an inch from the outer fender.. So that wouldn't be good. I remember a while back on here someone had a link for 64 specific posi diffs. Just have to find that again.

Re: Where do I buy this?
Thanks for the replies all. Lakeroadster, nice build man, I do like your solution for the rear of the bed and the tubs.. I also agree with the rear mount gas tank hanging too low.. your method is one I might look into. Nice.
I might just go with the new posi and new axles due to when I had the diff rebuilt, the axles were already at limits and then reinstalled. Time for new. Alex |

Re: Where do I buy this?
Welcome back to you too. Thanks for looking for the choke cable. I'm wondering if only the 66 will fit the v8 carb location.
