My new 3.55 rear gears & installation kit arrived..... i just cant come up w/ the $500 i need for a limited slip unit....drat. Its gonna cost me close to $500. to have the local driveline shop set it up- thats w/ me just bringing them the pumpkin....

this is working out pretty well. the channel stock was long enough, and i laid out all the holes to drill. got most of them done. should work fine, but ....homely, compared to the curvaceous rear bumper..... anybody need a a100 rear bumper??

Us van people are the creme de la creme of truck boffins, i say.....

im dumping my provider of 15 years so must change the setting to this site- i think. Im not adept at this, and ive tried a few things but cant get to the place where my email address is stored. Can anyone point me to the right place?

and ive moved the trailer by hand w/ her bike on it- the down pressure is a hunnert lbs or so....... this should do nicely..... (goes out, looks again)

Well, in my search i checked UHaul, which claims they have a hitch for everything. They dont for the A100, and i got a msge from them- a form. They said if i bought the truck to thier Mesa, Az, HQ and left it for a couple days, theyd use my truck to make a pattern and give me the hitch gratis. Its a...

What do you van guys use for this? No commercial listing i can find....

Sometimes a bad coil will quit when warm/hot, then fire up again. I succest you get a cheap multi meter- under 20 bucks- and you will better be able to diagnose the fault, using the shop manual drill. Multi meters are our friends!!!!

nice!!!

i put a cone type in my o9ld Econoline. Worked very well..... its not as rigged as the clutch pack type, but im not doing burnouts and such....

3.55 will do it, along with this... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/AUB-5420110

both wheels would turn if its limited slip. if its not, and both wheels are off the ground, one would turn reverse to the other. Open driveline: one wheel off ground, 2 rotations........ its a 3.90.... too steep for my purposes. 3.50 will put 4 k @ 3.90 to 3600 rpm.... but when the tach & gps speedo...

i just bought a '69 A100 off a guy who restores old trucks. the ws is cracked, not bad- and he said he uses this guy ALL the time for flat glass. He has all the factory demensions on hand, tell him what you got, hell cut it for you.. bob's classic auto glass shop, 1800-624-2130. 541-925-3260

HA!!!! You have to turn the wheel 2x. it comes in just under 4 complete driveshaft revs, so its a 3.90.....the 39 in the body tag.id like a 3.60, a gearset runs about 250, and theres a limited slip bolt in for about 300..... hmmmmmm.... if it were an OD trans the 3.90 would be ok....... heavy haulin...

it lists a 202, but this is a stick, that was a plumbing truck for years, so it carried weight. on top of that, 45 is wailing in 2nd, and it >feels< like a high 3/low 4. I got a cheap tach for it, but it still has points and the tach looses it- fuzzy signal, maybe. its getting an electyronic trigger...

'69 A 100. New to me. a 8.75 rear, the dataplate just has 39 under "rear axle". SO, it SEEMS like a 4 or so.... i jack one wheel off the ground, make a chalk mark on the tire & drive shaft, and one turn of the tire equals 2 turns, plus a inch more on the driveshaft. It CANT be a 2.00 rear end. What ...

hmmmm. i gather repairing this one- if possible- will be pretty pricy. I >THINK< you dont need any kind o0f smart phone to make these qwork. plug and play, a hundred bucks. https://www.speedhut.com/gauge/GR2-SPEE ... ogrammable

I watched the excellant rebuild vid a member made here.... and i can see, as one would expect, a square plug up top to add oil..but dang if i can see one (hard to see anything) on the van box w/ the shifter in front of it & sheet metal boxing the side....whats the trick (if there is one..)

hmmmm.shoot. thats not good.

thanks, fellas!
