Axle carnage

[snipes243]

Are you going the pull a parts in charlotte?

Yep. Spoke with a guy down there that is going to be opening a new one in Winston Salem. He said that they had started the building this week and hope to start buying cars in late Oct. early Nov.

BTW sometimes parts are hit and miss there, but there were probably 4-5 more Sterling FF and 4-5 14B FF still under trucks.

Yeah i have seen them but havnt seen many front axles in there.

[bucketobolts]

I've seen 1 D44HP under a late 70's F150. Though there have been several 78-79 Broncos that had already been robbed of their front axles.

There was an old Chevy D44 with flat top knuckles down at the bottom of the hill in the old stuff.

And so the saga continues...Thanks to Gubni, I have a little upgrade for the front axle also. Makes the stock EB 44 look like a play toy. And feel like a play toy after toting this B around. Just a little brainstorming...6" forward looks about rightcratchhe:

Guess I might need to start a build thread before too long:biggthumpup:

Nice man, you decided on how you are gonna hang that big axle yet?:popc1:

[bucketobolts]

I'm playing around with some 4 link/panhard ideas. But anyway I try the front cross member looks like it is going to be in the way. So I don't know if I'm going to clip it or move it.

Not dead set on anything yet. I have a good F series box I could tap for hydro and use. Or I also have an orbital valve and some other goodies. I have a plan for the links up front. If they triangulate enough to not require a panhard bar, full hydro may be the way to go. If I have to have the bar then things start getting cluttered and a box with tie rod may be simpler.
