It's amazing, as a teen, you know everything. As you get older, you realize how little you know. Trucks are awesome. Yes, truck content is welcome. Build plan?
Smart on you getting advice cutting that flange. It’s the fastest way to make them leak if you do it wrong. Once it’s cut your screwed to 😂. I used a hacksaw and worked perfectly hasn’t leaked in 5/6 years.
Gotta see the truck. Still have my first truck I bought when I was 15. 79 f150 4x4 short bed, 3 inch lift running 33 tires, 351m400, 4 speed. Had it 24 years now
Damn Brew2l the good old once a graveyard piece has been revived into the calypso clone and is slowly morphing into a serious duty street car/mild track piece!!! I really enjoy what it has become because my 92 was rescued and seems like it has also morphed in the same direction.....they only thing holding me back from installing the cage and going balls to the wall is my old lady with the "I like taking cruises on Sundays in it" so as im slowly morphing my 92 and stock piling the rest of the full out balls to the wall parts and pieces i have come across a graveyard 88 vert that im gonna put together and park it along side my 92 in the garage and thats gonna be her gift "for Sunday cruises" and at the same time my ticket to all out balls to the wall Foxbody Freedom if ya feel me and am pickin up what the drag radial rubber is laying down!!!
Yes, I'd love to see more of Nate's truck! Great find Nate! P.S. BREW2L, I know you are probably tired of hearing/reading negative things about the spool, but please be careful running that spool on the street. A racer acquaintance in a nearby town was driving his spooled car in light rain and when he came to a corner the car went straight. He hit a tree head-on and was killed.
No problem spreading awareness brother. I have had experience with locked diffs and spools in the past. This car won’t be driven much in the street anyway 👍
Gonna be interesting turning that thing on the street. But... she’ll hook and book at the track. Nice work! Rear ends spook me a little too. All that shimming and wear pattern stuff.
Really, just take... your... time!!! I am finishing up my Ford 9 in 3rd member with a limited slip. Already built a 99 Cherokee Sport front D30 and Chrysler 8.25 with Aussie lockers and 4.56 gears... had to for the 33/12.50-15's!!!
I watch you put a C clip eliminators in and I like that. I think I can accomplish doing it myself. I was going to pay somebody. I’m going to learn more thank you.
Lol that sum back woods "quack" use'n jack handles to remove bear'ns (luv it)...and shoot yeah we wanna see Nates truck,luv them 60-79 ford trucks...llooking forward to see how she handles with short'ned axles...
Man that car is coming together! That rear end is going to be able to handle anything. I thought the torque reinforcements were all outside the car? I'm only familiar with the plate ones that are bolted and welded under the seat. Oh and yes for the truck content! I had a 79 Bronco that I built and loved it. Tough go anywhere truck
I always Heard of clip eliminator but I never knew what it was thanks for the info on sharing this knowledge 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏showing this .great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
My 35 spline axles are on the way. With a spool. And gears shims and bearings. And seals. My rear end has to come out. All new everything bushings control arms coil overs etc.
If you are using the old gear you need to check your backlash before you pull it and put it back with the same lash or you will get premature wear on the gear
Lol I have the same setup drum brakes and all. After reading all of the negative spool comments, I'm ripping the whole thing out because everything is unsafe and overbuilt for my little 302😂 Also, its definitely not a parking lot pimpin setup lol Ps I'm going on 4 years w/ mine and no signs of leaking.
I'm sure you're probably aware but...I have turn downs on my car and that shit is sooooo loud in the cabin. It basically sounds like subwoofers underneath the car lol. I like it but, man, it's loud as hell.
If you're going to drive your car at the drag strip most of the time the spool should be ok. But if you pretty much drive on the street I wouldn't recommend it, especially if it's wet outside. 🤔
I had a mini spool in my '85 F150. I daily drove it with just some tire wear. I had 295's all the way around too. Maybe a truck is different, maybe not.
@@Jim_Lawrence I had a mini spool in my 64 falcon. My street raced it, never had a problem with it, but I was more careful knowing that I had a spool in there. Driving in the rain Is when you have to be careful.I could pull u-turns if I was slow doing it, but it would chirp the tires from turning around.🍻
@@matkas3445 not true. Disc brakes are better at applying and releasing quickly, as in ABS. Take a look at class 8 trucks and trailers. Yep, drum brakes...
Out of genuine curiosity though, why you need 35 spline? You prepping this thing for X275 next? 31-33 spline What a fit the bill nicely and been substantially cheaper.
