1993 Splash build

Oh, yea they can get it, in 5 lb boxes that they refues to separate. So I have to buy $75.00 or more in rod to get one or two rods...

Ouch.

Fawk yea! I found 5 pieces of nickel rod on ebay for $9.00 shipped!!! Endless supply with free shipping.

Drill a small hole at the very tip of each end of the crack to keep it from propagating further into the casting from the heat of the weld.

And whatever you do, if you use brake cleaner to clean the area, make sure you have a fan blowing on the housing when you burn and stay upwind the entire time. The mixture of the welding process and the chemicals in the brake cleaner form a highly volital fatal vapor, killing a human in minutes...

I will have to remember that.

I will have to remember that.

The chlorinated brake cleaner will IMMEDIATELY give a human being a brain anurinsm in seconds.

This is the article that warned me of it:

Found another axle for $100. I'm definitely not using this one.

Nice. I got a 79 Dana 44 complete with arms and the 205 from the same truck for $95, I love good cheap finds

Damn, that's a freakin steal!!

I like the '79 axles because they have the caster/camber bushings in them.

So did you finish getting your door sealed back up yet?

It's almost time to go do some water-wheeling.

 

[brinker88]

Believe it or not, it doesnt leak the way it is right now.

I would have grabbed the gearbox for another $15, but Gregg (97trailrigDD) grabbed it before I got there...

Well that lil bugger.

I FINALLY located a 73-76.5 Chebby D44 in a random yard yesterday. They want $125 delivered to my house. The reason I want this is so I can have the high steer knuckles, spindle, axle shafts, and disc brake brackets. That's a steal for these hard to find parts.
