Any Progress?

I am opting for UHMW. The type of plastic used in machinery or cutting boards.

it is or any parts store.

Thanks for all the comments on my tank install. I chose this because I dont want to have to fill gas in my bed. The aerostar door or any door for that matter gives it a custom look. For those who asked here is a link to the tank. http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=113/ca...

Here is what I used. A 49-52 Ch*&% car gas tank. Fits between the frame rails perfect. Can still use my hidden hitch and the filler is to the side instead of on the top. The tank comes from Tanks Inc. an includes everything but the sending unit. It also gives you the option of carburetor or FI [...

What size engine and what tranny?

Carolina Classics sells them. They make them. I did not use these because I only had to replace a small portion of mine. I had the front cap off my uni and jacked the cab up just slightly and repaired mine. The link, description and pic is below. Choppermike CAB MOUNTS, FRONT, ( 14 gauge steel ) 196...

I appreciate all the pm's for more info on my tank install. I will try to get more pics soon.

Welcome, I have 70 model truck headers on the 302 in my 62 and they work fine. Dropping the axle is better than a flip. I opted for an IFS setup.

Like to see some pics of that!

Thanks for the inf guys. If anyone was curious about an explorer 8.8, in my research I found that all Explorers are posi and 31- spline. I have no worries at all how it will hold up.
Thanks again.

Has anyone here used an 8.8 in a slick?

Ok I scored a 93 explorer 3:73 8.8" posi/LS rear end for $100 bucks. I shaved the pads got some new ones and stuck it in. Looks good and now I have the same bolt pattern as my Aero front end. Just by looking at facts and figures, My 62 Uni has a 61" wide axle and the explorer is about 59.5...

I guess I should of said front and rear of the rear spring kit.
About 2-5 inches.

I am going with the front and rear kit.

Now that I solved my lowering issue, I want to see if anyone has used EZ-Wiring or Painless wiring harness. Is one better than the other, the same? Any issues with one or the other?
