The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 67 c50 axle swap

yep going to daytons becuase for the most part this is probably cheaper than other solutions due to only paying 300 bucks for the front and rear axles and I like the look. I did end up needing the driveshaft work as previously mentioned but part of the 500ish I spend on it was the 200$ in new carrier bearings which would have needed replaced anyway. the front axle though is where I have had to get creative. Due to the difference in spring width I have had to have the spacer blocks milled for the pin alingement and put in plate to simulate a 3in wide spring where the u-bolts go. In addition I am going to have to modify the top plates to work with the longer distance between the front and back u-bolts. Also since my truck isnt a powersteering truck I am making a custom drag link with two separate sized tie rod ends and I am going to have a custom tube machined since the rod threads are different. Also since these are disc brakes I am adding the hydroboost master cylinder and boosters.
