Self had a serious discussion with self prior to cutting apart the furt high pinion. But alas, I like my oil filter unmolested @kgblazerfive
So I opted for pass drop

Off topic but can't you relocate it (oil filter)?

HP passenger 60? Nifty.
Not that it matters here but with the short oil filter mine clears. So far anyways.

I thought mine did............. twice
Thought before you saw the oil mess?
Yeah it can be relocated. I liked the idea of having one of the few passenger drop high pinion axles

Yep. Way cool. You switch the tubes around or just get new ones?
Cut the long side down and pressed the C on at Chevy length. Then machined the Chevy factory long to slip inside the Ford short since they are different tube diameter. So there is 8" of overlap on the long side that was pressed in. Then welded it

I really wanted to but couldn't find any cheap GM60 knuckles and all that neat stuff and I wasn't doing it and keeping the Ford stuff.
Your way makes it way easier though. Fuel lines, traction bars and all that are all on the same side with the Ford setup.

I have a 10 spline 465 with good forks and gears. Probably make a pile on the floor and start over. Should have a usable spare when I'm done
Never saw it my spotter did. Then we, a bunch of help three hours later waiting for parts, fixed it, 25 feet later did it again.
Chit happens
I'm thinking that it's because you used Chevy orange on the wrong parts!!
And yes, I do believe that I am a paint expert!!! (When compared to you)

Meh. The poll said orange. Sure easy to see and do things under there with all the cast iron painted a nice bright colorI'm thinking that it's because you used Chevy orange on the wrong parts!!
