vilas will blast wheels
what about a entire body?
anyone ever tried doing it themselves with a HF gun or something of higher quality?
you're not gonna want to blast a lot of sheetmetal and expect it to look good. The heat makes the metal wavy. Get it beadblasted, or if there's a lot of rust get it acid dipped. We took my Dad's cab to some shop in Spring to get beadblasted, and the doors dipped at a place in Humble or Porter, I believe. Cheap blaster and small compressor will take you forever doing a whole truck on your own. I have a craftsman hopper-style blaster and it works well for small stuff. The key is to buy construction sand, not sandbox sand, and keep it really dry and keep a dryer on your air line.
Coop I was at home depot the other day and saw that they have engineer's scale tape measures. Instead of inches they have tenths and hundreds of feet. That should be as easy to use as a metric tape like we were talking about the other day
i might go check that out, i still want one
If I currently have 3.73s and am switching to 4.56s, I don't have to buy new carriers (for numerically higher gears) if I buy the correct lockers (OX for 3.92 and higher) right?
SHUT UP AND WHEEL
needs to be a full case locker, like detroit, arb, or ox. A drop in like lockright or exlock uses the existing carrier.

Isn't the carrier break for 30/35 3.73 anyways? So you don't need new carriers even if you wanted to keep them open.
Will this bolt on to my standard 44 knuckles to replace the 5x5.5 outers? I woud think so.
"I have a balljoint 8 lug 44 2wd front axle that I'm gonna get rid of.
It's a dana 44 without a diff.
It's the front axle out of a Jeep CJ10-A"
i think you will be the only person to have 8 lug outers on a Dana 30.
