Popped the original windshield out as it was delaminated and broken. I was pleasantly surprised to find zero rust.

I was laughing to myself when I looked at the tag on the replacement windshield. I have been hoarding parts for a while. I found the receipt for the windshield when I got it from The Filling Station, in 2003... Does that make it a vintage part??

How much more narrow are you going to go...a couple of inches? Thanks for posting the progress!

Pretty sure gonna do 1.5" per side from where I am now. So that would make it 58" wms-wms. Stock width pretty sure is 62" wms-wms.

Oh, and I lied earlier. The 1970 F100 axle is 61" Numbers are so confusing...

familytruckster have a question if you only take 1.5 inches on both sides ca you still keep the same axels? will you cut 1.5 off of each side just wondering??

Well in my case I cannot do that with these parts, there would not be enough spline left. The stock shafts are a smaller diameter at the end of the spline, thus not allowing me to respline them. So all the work earlier of welding up the holes and redrilling the pattern to 5x5 will go unused.

I have a pair of new axle shafts that have extra long splines and are intened to be cut to length. Maybe not as trick as having axles custom made, but still useable for what I am wanting to do.

I will make the cuts to the axle housing so as the pinion will be centered not the pumpkin. I need to keep the driveshaft away from nearby bits.

FamilyTruckster65 · 04-27-2023, 10:45 PM

This is the type of axle I am using.
