Just run a hydraulic throwout bearing in the bell that's compatible with the 833 and hook it up to the existing master. A 727 crossmember to bolt the frame stubs together can be found or easily made up with a length of 2" X 4" tubing. I'm sure someone here will post a picture to show you what it lo...

you guys are right, this is doable for sure! im waiting on my block to come back from the machine shop then i can start doing mock ups and getting mounts and brackets figured out. im really looking forward to this part of my project- getting the drivetrain in! ive been doing body work and it sucks! ...

thanks for all the feedback, you guys have givin me a lot to chew on! my air is good, i spent some time and money building a compressor to keep up with my needs. i have been gravitating toward the devilbiss guns, they seem to provide quality and value. this is attractive to me for the bang for buck ...

im looking for a decent paint gun for primer and paint. not needing top of the line but also dont want a pos. im not scared to spend a bit of money but also dont want to drop a grand on a gun i may only use a couple times. what do you guys suggest? not hobo freight! thanks for any input! brian

thanks guys for getting back to me on this! i do understand this is not plug and play. fabricating crossmembers and mounts does not scare me at all. if i can get my drive train assembled (poly 318, bell, a833, to the rear end) i am confident in my fabrication skills for making the mounts work. im be...

hey everybody
iv got a 64 sweptline shortwide. im wanting to run a 833 4 speed behind my poly 318. im told i cannot run a manual clutch because of linkage interference with the crossmember. so heres my question.... can i run this setup with a hydraulic clutch setup? thanks for any help, brian

mine is 64 with tapered. so i guess 65 and on. thanks for the help! gonna head over to parts wanted!

heres another question.... im finding later axle housings without 3rd member. will my 3rd member from 64 rear end fit in 70 rear end?

there is a tool to remove the hubs but if your planing on narrowing it then your going to need axles anyway and you might be able to find a nice flange for a caliper mount the real question is parking brake if its old enough for taper shaft are you keeping the trans parking brake im swapping the co...

:lol: :lol: ok im hearing a unanimous vote for scrapping the tapered rearend. so that leads me to the next question.... what am i looking for? 8 3/4 from a bit later truck? i think 64 or 5 was last year of the taper? how do i identify non tapered axle while still in the truck? thanks for all the fee...

im thinkin a better question may be,... does anybody know if the axle shaft is one consistent diameter? i have not got it apart yet. getting the drum off if kickin my @#%! been laying in the weather for countless years. im assuming to cut and respline the axle shaft it needs to be a straight shaft?

hey everybody its been a while since ive been on here asking dumb questions so here goes! i have an 8 3/4 rear end with tapered axles. im planning on narrowing the rear end once i get my wheels and tires (waiting game). i want to convert to disk brakes while on this project. do i need a different re...

jeff your a genius! searches peterson and found a trailer light company. they offer 4” clear replacement lenses. $14. no screw holes.

thanks for the reply. im wanting to run clear lenses with red leds inside. im not finding any lens choice except the one with 3 screw holes let alone a clear option!? ill keep looking around. i could probably make any 4” lens work as long as it had no screw holes.

hey guys i have a 1964 short wide d100. my tail light lenses do not have screws holding them in place. they have a snap ring around the perimeter of the lens that seats into the light housing. im not seeing these lights anywhere else. do i have stock lights? did somebody swap them out in the past? t...

thanks baker! ill start looking around. i like the idea of an overdrive...

hey everybody
heres my stupid question for the week! ill be building out my poly engine and im not really a fan of the 3 on the tree. im really wanting a floor shift 4 speed. what tranny should i be looking for to handle 400ish hp? thanks for any suggestions!

after watching the vids by mopar im rethinking my plan! those blair spot weld removers look very affective! i think ill be buying a kit! thanks for all the info guys. i will have many more dumb questions down the road!

i went with the drill style as they are made here. i try real hard to keep my money in our country! the holesaw style probably work pretty good as they remind me of annular cutters. if the bits give me grief ill try the holesaws, thanks again for the suggestion
