Wow that front pinion angle

The 6 degree shims should take care of that...

Meh, I just ground them down a bit and they are happy now. Good enough.

Yours a 2 joint 1350 shaft?

There was a 2 joint in the rear, 1310 cv in front. Tom Woods hooked me up with a pair of 1350 CV shafts.

Here before too long I'll have more weight in scrap from this project than in my truck! This does not include the rest of the yellow truck & the doner Suburban.

I see some good steel for projects in there.

This afternoon I just saw a yellow truck like the one you are selling at the mechanic we use for company vehicles. Is this something that was done by a company or dealer or something. Or just several people with the same idea?

My wife has been on me for months to haul steel. We have 1/2 a Suburban & 1/2 a pickup up in the driveway. It's probably once a week I find some useful tidbit of steel out in the scrap piles.

Redneck engineering .... we had one at a place I worked 20yrs ago. Did it ourselves. Suburbabalanches should have been a thing!

Stoked! The ORD 6degree shim kit was the ticket. My front driveline angle is way better, like 6degrees better,,, and my driveshaft does not bind at full droop. I realize there may be some more travel there if the front drops out hard or in off camber situations but I'll check that also. This front driveline really travels. Nearly 4" from rest to droop. I have some bind in my shock mounts now. I'm not going to address it at this point. If I keep picking on little stuff this thing will never see the trail.

How's your CV angle? Keep in mind you'll probably see a little more angle when you drop out the passenger side on a trail so keep an eye on that.

Fancy headlight adjuster upgrade while the grill was off for the correct front body mounts

You have a P/N: for those and where you got them. I might as well upgrade while I have everything apart.

I'll shoot it to you when I get back home. It's hidden somewhere in this thread I think. Got the idea from another CK5 member. I will replace the screws with rivets when I find my rivet gun.

I believe they are Ford Aerostar.

Had to order them or standard item at the parts store?

 

[nedceifus]

I ordered them from PartsGeek or Amazon I think. It has been a while.

Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the part number. Just ordered mine up. We are a Dorman dealer, so I got them dirt cheap.

So I could have Windstar fans and Aerostar adjusters. That would be kinda funny.

Lol, I just had the same thought.

Interested because I need a shaft that will do about 38 degrees.
