Back In the Saddle Again

[Wes Harden]

That diff had a 2 piece shaft in front it, for what ever that info is worth.

 

[K5Devil]

I’m just going to build my own drive shaft. Might even reuse part of this one.

 

[K5Devil]

Makes me wish I would have held on to that busted shaft from my last blazer. Because it already had the 1350 end on it for the diff side.

 

[K5Devil]

This is why we never throw anything away ever. No matter how much the wife complains.

 

[K5Devil]

This the one I had built for the smoke wagon

 

[K5Devil]

But apparently those flanged yokes don’t exist anymore

Seems like the same thing the driveshaft shop I used on mine used. But that was close to 7 years ago too.

I’ve got a sye kit coming for my 241 so mine rear shaft is going to change and not need it. If you can’t find one yell at me.

Absolutely.

Looks fine to me. Just going to send it.

Thinking disc brake conversion. I’d like to keep my ebrake for when I swap to a manual trans. I’m looking at the lug nut kit. Thinking I could piece it together for less money. Eldorado ebrake calipers the only issue is finding the ebrake brackets and springs for the mechanism on the back of the calipers. Anyone have a lead on those?

Ruffstuff specialties should have what you’re looking for

I didn’t see them offer a caliper with ebrake

Wheeeew, “I need good brakes for the baby, wifey”

 

[Wes Harden]

Driveline brake, another reason to sye. Those edlo calipers are small and a pita to keep sealed.

 

[cheavyk10]

You can't just bleed those eldo calipers and be good to go. You have to read the instructions and adjust them properly. Ask me how I know...

 

[Wes Harden]

Oh I know. I was working on them when Cadillac was still using those things. Think I still have the piston tool

 

[K5Devil]

Got one hub apart races look ok back side of the inner bearing doesn’t look so hot.
