Reverse sender is typically on the driver side of the transmission housing just forward of the tailshaft.

I'll be looking at a '91 very soon......

I bought it. W350 with Cummins 5 speed.

I picked up some PVC to make my own. No rot ever that way.

The axle tube necks down, so driving them in towards the center would not work well.

One of the drums is missing a large portion of the inner bell, I see no reason to spend money on junk. If I change the whole Dana, new drums are available cheaper than having old drums relined. (The dually rear in my 1st gen Cummins measures very close to the same inside the brake backing plates & I...

I have a place I know to my gear changes, so no need for me to swap internals around on my own. If anyone has done either of the swaps mentioned above, I would love to hear from you. I do know that new spring perches would need to be welded on to keep the leaf springs in the right position on the '70.

And.... If I find a newer one that has an open differential, will the limited slip unit in my 1970 Dana 70 swap into it?

Rear brake drums are available for the newer Dana 70 from the late 80s or so, so has any one swapped to a newer Dana 70?

Fuel is stored in underground tanks where it stays cool.

Fuel expands with any rise in temperature.

So..... Do not fill a tank all the way if it is going to sit right after in a warmer environment.

Grille is the same as 1970-71 D300 and W300 also.

1972-74 400 commercial models too if that helps?

It took about 9 months for me, had to make a day trip to another state to get it. Two versions, single rear wheel and dual rear wheels. This affects the bed side steps too. The bed sides are 9' 1" overall length. Bed sides are the same other than the holes to attach the fenders. The tail gates, fron...

Be aware that some of the replacement OE type clamps are made of a thinner diameter. Reproduction and aftermarket hoses can also vary in wall thickness. So if you replace the clamps and hoses and they leak, these are two possible reasons for it. With thinner materials they may not seal tight enough.

Or...... Were the A-230s only available with three on the tree? I looked at one out of a truck today, but the shift handle is later B-body and the linkage and levers are aftermarket. So it appeared to be a conversion.

Does anyone have photos of the shifter to transmission linkage?

I will be there. I live about 10 minutes away, so if I miss it, I died.
