He just wants to be like me and @bent72 and @Babaganoosh with the longbed. Can't blame the guy.

Mmhmm long beds.

Might depend how narrowly you're defining "long-bed." Bob and I both have long-bed step-sides. :whistle: :deal:

(and I'm not sure, it might be that one of the other 3 steps-sides is long, too)
 
I was gonna suggest not Lincoln locking the front, but meh.

How much are 10b shafts at the junkyard?
 
Only if its the Champagne of beers, otherwise its a Lincoln Locker.

And we need pics of booger weld for proof
 
Great... Now he's going to put a 14sf in the rear and more nuns and orphans are going to die. Way to go @bent72 for causing this deadly chain of events.

Took the starter brace off of the CUCV today to measure the block bolt. It turns out that I was right, it is an 8x1.25MM bolt, with about 10MM of thread length. I couldn't find anything shorter than 16MM, so I may wind up using washers to space it out.

The lug on the starter, confusingly enough, is a 1/4-20 thread. No idea why one side is metric and one side is standard. But that's what fit, so that's what I got.

Posted for future reference.

Installed the brace tonight. Before installing it I checked the thread depth, and the block hole was deep enough to swallow the entire bolt. And my starter had no 1/4-20 lug, it had a tapped hole in that same size. So I installed a bolt instead of a nut. Installation was smooth.

Most excellent, good to hear it went smooth. No more breaking starter bolts for you!

I'll just say this.. I should have just welded the rear.. We'll see how it eats rocks tomorrow before I am scouring the earth for open carriers again.. Lmao!
We took no pics of said booger welds. All mystery lies behind the orange diff cover of doom!!!

I'm guessing the push-pull steering doesn't work to well anymore? I had a 76 dodge with a welded front on stock push-pull steering once. It was promptly open again :doah:
