    Rear end swap

    Your right about that ! Dana axles just suck ! We used them since the 50's at Chrysler. I recall the fleet trucks tearing up the 70's with just a 318 gas engine . I agree with you on the GM 14 bolt. It is a good design. I am afraid that the diesel engine is going to tear it up also.. I...

    Rear end swap

    I have a 92 work truck . It has a Dana 70 dually pickup truck axle in it. 70 series axle's are a pain in the a** ! I get tired of rebuilding them ! What axles have you guys swapped into the first gen trucks ? And which one is the easiest to do ? I am thinking about the AAM 11.5 or a last...

    I have most ALL 1st gen parts new or used

    I used to make them out of 16 ga. steel . I quit because no one wanted to pay enough to make it worth my time. Any good sheet metal shop could do it .

    I have most ALL 1st gen parts new or used

    It is a separate harness from the main harness. It is the same for gas or diesel . 89 threw 93 are the same except for the door speaker plug. They are getting hard to find due to the harness bending between the cab and the door.

    I have most ALL 1st gen parts new or used

    I can have some more of them made if there is enough interest. Min. order is 500 pieces. They were $110.00 for the complete syncro. 25 years ago. I expect they are 3 to 4 times that much now. Another option would be to just replace the cracked clutch ring. That would be a lot less but still...

    Getrag Replacement Suggestions?

    You should read all my posts on the Getrag. The getrag works fine if the bell housing is properly aligned and kept full of oil ! I have a 350 dually with 865k on it. I rebuilt the getrag twice. It still works fine ! I also designed and built a steel bell housing and adapted a spicer 5300...

    I have most ALL 1st gen parts new or used

    The company that made them the last is in Italy . They are a top notch manufacturer ! They have a minimum order of 500 pieces + setup charges. I can get them quoted but It is going to be real expensive ! I have no interest in having that much money sitting on the shelf and neither does the...

    1st Gen Dually wheel spacers

    NIsaacs is 100% correct !!!!!! Everyone should take heed to this ! You are taking your life in your hands changing wheels and tires and not understanding how they were designed . The best plan is to leave the vehicle STOCK. They will last a lot longer and be a lot less expensive to maintain...
