Re: Wanted Dana 61 front axel...

Re: New set of wrenches

That is a well organized set of adjustable hammers.
I would suggest a few bigger ones... Two pounders are handy.

Re: Electric crate motor swap into a skick.

I guess I have a different view of the whole electric vehicle/ hybrid's. We get dead hybrid's in once in a while. (We dissuade thier arrival when we can) They are a genuine pain in the arse , the batter pack is usually under or part of the floor of the vehicle. And as such a huge pain to remove befo...

Re: Non Slick 4 x 4 conversion question

The 2wd will be coil spring front, and the 4x4 will be leaf... Drilling , grinding and driving out all the rivets that hold the two different suspension systems on the frames is all it would take to make the frame swap my only viable direction. If you haven't removed several factory installed rivets...

Re: unibody tailgate

A repairable 65 tail gate appeared in the "similar items for sale" for $40...

But that uni gate may be a candidate for the smooth panel inserts, saving a lot of dent repair.
As hard as orignal uni gates are to find, that may be a winner.

Re: 16 inch wheel replacement

1976 thru 200? Model years, E250, E350, E450 should have 16" wheels with the 8 on 6.5 pattern. Some of the early years may have 16.5" wheels... Yes your 3/4 ton hubcaps will fit... Note: supplying manufacturers may have changed over that large of a span of time. So mixing and matching year...

Re: Windshield gaskets?

Personally, I put it between the glass and rubber, and between the rubber and steel.
Touch up after installing buy flipping the lip back is a good idea.

Your mileage may vary....

My original gasket / windshield had the dried but still flexible sealant in both positions.
