Operation Spud...Restoration of my 1970 F250 4x4 in Honor of my Father.

Using Prussian blue...sometimes hard to see

[Madman]

Something that works in a pinch, and even better at times....a dry erase marker

hard to get a good pic, but the contact is a little easier to see than Prussian blue was

[Madman]

Here is the best stuff....

[Madman]

I am proud to say my home made set up carrier bearings worked great...only a couple of shifts to get the back lash good.
The drive gear looks great....

And the coast side looks solid too...

[Madman]

Putting in the Dana 60!

[Madman]

Here are the brackets for the rear disc conversion...I will add a pictorial in the brake section on how easy it is...

[Madman]

Oh hell yes!

[Madman]

Not much to update, money has gotten tight recently, and time is short due to work.......actually depressed I can't make any progress

[Madman]

I have made some progress since hunting season ended, but have yet to update my forum.....I may get to update some photos tonight, but definitely will get this done this week!

[Madman]

It is about time I got off my butt and uploaded some progress.....Here is the caliper mounting for the rear disc brake conversion on my DANA 60.


Looking down on it.

Here are the little weld on tabs that attach to the tubes for brake line mounting.

Next is brake line fabrication and mounting.....Awaiting my Eastwood Double Flare tool.....

Here are the rims I will most likely be using.

[Madman]

While awaiting the flare tool, I have started on the transfer case clean up. Internals all look great so it will be new seals and gaskets.
