13. Rearend Install
4/29/07 - The rear leafs are installed. They were a bear. The front eye brackets (repops) required a little grinding to fit and the rear frame bushings required the use of a "modified" C clamp to get thm installed. I spent most of the time this weekend just getting the leafs in!
5/1/07 - Rearend set in place! Axle pads need to be welded on, brake line tabs need to be welded on, and pinion angle needs to be set. Once this is done, it will come out and I will have the housing powder coated.
8/13/09 - Set the pinion angle and clamped down the spring pads and had them welded. Had the rearend blasted and powdercoated matte black. Replaced the seals. Also ordered the driveshaft from Inland Empire. It's a 3.5" alum. shaft with a 1350 pinion yoke.
8/16/09 - The rearend and center section are bolted in for the final time. The car is rolling again on its' final stance.
8/23/09 - 3.5" aluminum driveshaft from Inland Empire installed.
