Re: Used Parts Build

Did a little work last night. Wanted to fishplate my notch to frame tie in. Totally not necessary but I figured it couldn't hurt.

Capped the notch/frame

Started cutting the brackets off my Ford 9''. Looks like the guy who welded the tabs on last time thought more was better...All the tabs are 1/4'' thick and have huge multipass weld beads on there.

I noticed a potential problem too. I thought for some reason my pinion was centered, and its not... Not a huge deal but my four link mounts/crossmember is set up for a centered driveshaft. I can shorten one side but I pushed my lower link mounts out as far as I reasonably could for better control. I am going to take some measurements tomorrow and see how much I need to shorten one side to center it and see if I need to move my tabs in or not.
