Well, being as it was a reference to your big pink moon boots, we'll self identify it as you wish

Now you'll just have to explain to people why there are 3 spring perches for the rest of the 77's life...

If I worked at half the rate you do my shit would be done.

My old azz is beat. My buddy lives 1 1/2 south, so hauled down this morning, move a couple dead cars and unloaded the D70.
Shuffled it's heavy azz out of the way, pulled a D44 out of a donor, disassembled it to cut the long side. Then math stuff, cut the furd long side to spec for short Chevy, pressed the C off the cut piece and back on the housing. I missed the layout so had to beat the C to rotate it.

Machined the last 6" on the Chevy long tube down to fit inside the furd tube, got that side set to and welded a whole crap load.

The 2 hrs of clean up before driving back home

Remember the conversation we had about going into screw it mode and throwing stuff away??? I bet I HAD a ring and pinion for you until I scrapped all my 44 stuff.

You didn't butt weld two axle tubes together, did you?

Martin

 

[Bent77]

Martin

No. We machined a long end and slipped it inside the housing of the ford tubes so we have 8" overlap.

Both tube sections we beveled so we could root pass and weld like regular pipe weld

 

[82355]

Ah.

No pictures of the process though?
