The Sanchez

[sasquatch]

think the c is alright. the lower part of the c, despite being drug down the hill is ok. the upper part and the king pin got a little beating i guess from the yokes of the shafts. i think the bottom of the kingpin and the underside of the c got smeared a little and that it will clean up with a little grinder action

my plan is get dedenbear knuckles and replace whatever is ****ed on the driver side and put it back together. probably will save for some brand of alloy shafts as well

[AggieTJ2007]

yeah the C doesn't look too bad, I think most people end up running deadenbear knuckles

[william_ace]

what do those run?

[Reckless]

too much

good, but it falls on its face when you punch it. accelerator pump is too small or jacked up. i ordered a calibration kit from summit with all the crap i need fix that. also removed all of the electric choke shat for a manual cable. hi and low idle circuits could also use some adjustment

I called to place my order last summer while out of town. If I remember correctly Jesse said that the yoke was billet or something like that... Cost $60 shipped and by the time I got home it was there. As far as other products are concerned I had my old rear driveshaft made by Tom Woods, great product but lacked in the customer service department. In my opinion High Angle was much easier to deal with...

I had my new driveshaft's made by Houston Drivetrain Service and they were awesome. Great customer service and they completed the work in a day at a good price.

[sasquatch]

how else do you attach them? glue?

[uglyota]

I'm missing the issue here too...which picture of the welded yoke are we talking about? Unfortunately the paradigm of round driveshafts and yokes is inherently flawed when it comes to strength of connection. It's like having a shaft with no splines! The weld transfers all the torsional force! I recommend you throw away that round tube garbage, grind some flats onto the yoke and stick it in a piece of square tubing. Toss a little weld at it (which now, with this inherently better design, has the sole purpose of holding the two pieces together...torsional force is transferred by the square interface!) and you're good to go! Advice and technical assessment free of charge...you're welcome! :D

[Doug Krebs]

how else do you attach them? glue?

Sure if it works...

I can't really see the picture that well. Are you using the yoke how it was intended? Why isn't the yoke one assembly with the flange? I would be worried about it shearing off the face of the flange. Again, I can't see it.

[Fredo]

yes, i would say so since it is welded onto a flange where it would normally be welded to tube. Its a 1410 yoke pressed into some flange made for a sand rail. it's not just butt welded to it. the flange halves are indexed with a ring and bolt together. i seriously doubt it would be prone to shearing. it is plenty beefy


What do you think they use on carbon fiber driveshafts?

while this is true, gluing two pieces of steel together for a driveshaft is stupid.

the money i spent on the yokes and flange was nothing compared to a complete long travel shaft. you would have **** your pants if you heard what he was going to charge for one. i almost did

[J Cooper]

Almost!!

[RCcola55]

to me spending the money on a $600+ front driveshaft just isnt worth it, with square tube you can basiclly have unlimited travel, a constant "spline engagement", and if you are feeling frisky even .375 wall. Now for the rear its a different story.

for st. john, fred, and whoever else was talking about thread engagement when we thought a intake bolt stripped the head. i'm just going to put the longer bolt back in and forget what i saw.

I got a tbi setup from a 92 craprice for cheap. after i get the intake to stop leaking, i'll start stripping the harness.

[RCcola55]

tight, you maybe wanna look at getting the 454 tb

[robertf03]

is this a 360 or 390?
and did that caprice have a 305 or 350?

I think the computer part # will end in 846. if so you have to run a manifold temp sensor. You could switch to a truck computer and use the same harness but no temp sensor if you want it to be more simple. thats what all the aftermarket crap does.

[RCcola55]

360

you gonna get a new head?

[robertf03]

don't scrap it, JB it

[Sharpe]

Deffinately try to get a 454 throttle body, they are MUCH better (bigger bores and higher volume injectors) than the small block ones. The 305 and 350 TB's are the same, I think even the injectors are identical.

[Fredo]

Sharpe, it's a 1 7/8" bore versus a 2" bore on the throttle bodies. The small block ones will flow enough for a factory headed FE 360. The injectors for a 305 and 350 are not the same. But, we snagged a set for you at the junkyard today Cook, so you'll be good to go there. We gave them to Flem, so he'll get them to you when he returns to CS.

passenger inner shaft, hub, ujoint, and outer likely ****ed, spindle also
front pass side main leaf is bent, in addition to the rear driver main
clutch is slipping, probably ****ed
need to do something with the cab; tube, replace, or something
seats and belts need to be replaced

issues that need to be addressed:

not enough gearing. tired of going through clutches, so dump 1500 into it for a doubler or klune.
the 60 keeps breaking
cage


It sucks ass to trailer this thing because its so wide, tall, and heavy. So I'm thinking about aborting this thing and moving on to something that will reward me better for the work that I put into it or letting it sit for awhile. the latter is probably whats going to happen. im just pissed off at it right now.

You will love it. Made wheeling so much easier without having to worry about brakes.

ya, ya, i know. looks like a good upgrade.

[sasquatch]

having trouble getting the banjo fitting to seal against the caliper. there are no grooves on around the hole on caliper for the copper washer to seal against. wtf. i've tightened the bolts to point that i pulled out the threads on one of the ****ers. they are the chevy metric calipers. anyone else have a problem with these?

[AggieTJ2007]

3/4 ton brakes mine have groves for the copper washer to seal against

[sasquatch]

what are they off of?

[AggieTJ2007]

i think I used ones off a 78 ish 3/4 ton chevy truck

[CheapJeep]

The disk conversion I did on my d70 uses late 70's-early 80's chevy 3/4 ton calipers as well. No issue's with leaky fittings.

[85cj7]

yep same thing on my 609 (78 k-20 calipers). Are you sure you have the proper banjo bolt? My front calipers are waggy and my rear are k20, look exactly the same but use different banjo bolts. The thread and pitch are the same but the diameter of the neck of the bolt with the hole is a different diameter from front my front to rear. I mixed them up one time and they leaked. Might want to check that just to be sure.

[sasquatch]

the 85 calipers did not have the ridges for the copper washers to seal against. i got 78 ones and they had them. i also got the right banjo bolts from napa.

i'm working on changing out the tres for heims right now. in true tamor fashion, i'll be doing the doubler at the very last minute...

[sasquatch]

tire joint did a good job. northwest fab doubler stuff is shiney.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

vulcanized?

[bcolman]

where did you get it fixed at?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Between the 'a' and the 't'... :flipoff2:

[RCcola55]

yes vulcanized, same place in houston as JB i believe

[TexTJ209]

Nice.

[85cj7]

Cool. When is the red ferd getting paint?

[sasquatch]

when i have time and a place to take it apart again.

this whole crossmember thing is turning out to be a pain in the ass. there's not a lot of room with all the shifters and driveshaft **** in there.

[stx4wheeler]

Yes they are, after f-ing with mine I don't think i would ever do a doubler again.

[KrazyKarl02]

Yeah, it is tight, but can be done. I had to roll my front cross member at an angle so it would clear the shaft and shifters!

[tigweld]

I guess with a chevy 203 and ford 205 its much easier, cause u can turn the 203 on its side and have the doubler selector on top. my shifter bracket and linkage is real simple compaired to some I've seen

I need to come by and check out your setup.

[sasquatch]

getting there.

the small one was a half ass attempt at a two piece crossmember by ryan and i before clayton.

[redcagepatrol]

Holy Hang Down Too Far!

you couldn't put those mounts flush with the frame or inside the frame? I can already envision your rig getting hung up on a rock and spinning the truck around the rock rather than sliding over it. Add a ramp on both sides of the mount?

[KrazyKarl02]

It is a lot stronger than mine.

not really. there was too much in the way. its higher up than the factory one and i didn't really hang on that. the 205 seems to hang down more... i'm running out of time and its a bitch getting it in and out of there. i didn't want to mess with cutting the floor under the seats since i need this thing to be able to move soon.

i have to make a small rear crossmember to support the 205 still. i remember there was a discussion on mixing poly and rubber mounts somewhere. all i have left are some poly bushings for the rear.

[JB]

Either you and Frick are way ovethinking that crossmember, or maybe mine is not beefy enough for when I add the doubler, but it is essentially just a tube with a bend to clear the driveshaft, bolted to each side of my frame. No issues with it over the past few years with the stock t case.

[sasquatch]

thats the plan for the rear one. i just wanted the front one stronger and i don't have a bender. there will be a skid plate. i just wanted to have both crossmembers in first.

[sasquatch]

wish i had a tube bender. the rear is about 3/8" lower than the 205 so i can put a plate in between the front and rear. stuff hangs down farther than i would like but its not as bad as the pics show. oh well, i'll run it for now. driveshafts are done. shifters are done. floor is close. just odds and ends after this.

[davido]

Turns out, you don't need a floor to wheel. :)

Looks stout, that's for sure!

[KrazyKarl02]

How did you attach that to the rear of the 205? I guess there is no cross member where the doubler adapter is?

[sasquatch]

damn making these ****ers eats up time. i make a 3/8 cover for the bushing to weld to. yes, the tube had a gap. no, i wasn't going to make a new piece or make it pretty. i was lazy and didn't want to go back and forth from the bench to under the truck again.

i have an idea how im going to do the torque strap. just haven't started it yet.

Karl- i wasn't going to put one there. i figured it didn't need it with a front and rear.

[KrazyKarl02]

I know what you mean, when I was setting up my shifters I bet I was up and down 30 times until I got it what I felt was right. If I had a second person there it would have taken like 30 minutes, instead I was up, down, up, down, etc... The cross member is even more a pain.

All that being said, I am very happy with the doubler. The decision between this and a Stak or other option comes down to cost. For me the gearing is great and I found a doubler in the range I wanted to pay. While at Clayton I spit rear driveshafts every time I blinked, the control added by the doubler was awesome.

[stx4wheeler]

So I assume your not going to support the middle of the setup using the holes that ord/nwf put into the adapter? Im not saying yours isnt going to work, im sure it will be fine, but I figured they put them there for a reason and utilized them in my setup.

[AggieTJ2007]

you wouldn't happen to have an extra ford 205 laying around would you/

crossmembers look great

[sasquatch]

yea, i thought about tying those holes in somewhere but didn't. it should be fine. i'm about done being under this ****box for now. i plan for that skid plate to have the **** beat out of it and be self clearancing.

creighton i had an extra that i got from travis, but it was locked up and i scrapped it.

[sasquatch]

before you buy a complete steering shaft, look at the borgeson individual parts at summit or something. it was 75 cheaper for me to buy the parts and build it myself.

[sasquatch]

back together. mostly.

[sasquatch]

cruised lonestar round up and congress last weekend.

[Sharpe]

Did you take it off the trailer?

[sasquatch]

duh. it drove from buda to the show and congress.

[sasquatch]

my rubber fuel pickup hose idea didn't last in the fuel cell i built, so i'm going to try this with steel line. the supply and return are going to both be at the tip of the sump.

[JB]

That skidplate is low. But I think I will find out that mine will be almost as low.

I think supporting the 205 at the PTO cover, like you did, or at the output, like the TMR Customs bracket allows, is the best way. If you use the holes in the adapter, the weight of the 205 is still hanging out there, with the only extra support being from the 'torque mount.'

[KrazyKarl02]

How does fuel enter your sump? Is there a ledge it has to go over?

[sasquatch]

this is what it looks like. the sump doesn't go all the way to the wall of the tank.

[sasquatch]

yea, it is lower than i would like but with 42s its really not that low. it has some room to get smashed up to the 205 also.

[KrazyKarl02]

this is what it looks like. the sump doesn't go all the way to the wall of the tank.

Ahh, well that makes it as clear as Hot Pocket's life style choice. I assume what you are implying is the red line is where the sump is welded to the wall at and below the red line it is seal welded. This would mean you have to keep a half tank in it all the time? Or it is just not welded to the wall of the tank, so when it is leaned towards the pump , you are good, and away it catches a small amount of fuel?

[sasquatch]

This. Although I tested it with water and it catches quite a bit.

[sasquatch]

damn, I'm itching to get this damn thing driving again.

[JB]

Do it, lets go wheelin.

[sasquatch]

Well I gave up on the fabricated fuel cell because I had no time since I was about to move out of cs. I just put a 15 gal rci one in the bed.

Now I've got a place to work and covered storage over here in gilmer so it's on. I'm to break this two years of no wheeling.

[sasquatch]

This turd is ready for clayton!

[JB]

**** yeah. When are you headed up there?

[sasquatch]

thurs morning

[Fredo]

Excellent! See you there.

[sasquatch]

Excellent! See you there.

pumped. had a day at gilmer awhile ago and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. got some practice in with the twin stick and doubler. easier to turn with front drive. definitely helps when you wheel a school bus.

got some pics off the camera

[sasquatch]

the blue ford just needs the rear driveshaft rebuilt after clayton. the one that got kluged together is too long. it blinds under full compression. i got some **** from pick and pull to make a new full 1410 rear driveshaft, but i've been distracted.

i've acquired another project to waste money on...
