Glen's budget rebuild

[79coyotefrg]

have you ever put that truck on a scale? I'd be curious to see what it weighs, since you build everything out of no less than .250" wall.

yea  i weighed it  a  few months ago,  at my  frieds  scrap yard,  3400 lbs

[BUBBA]

That isn't too bad,I think my old 79 weighed 3400 stock with a wooden bed and 35's,but it had alot of rust too.

well today i pulled the rear driveshaft to replace a ujoint,  i used  a good  ujoint cap from 2 different U joints,,  since it was out  i noticed the pinion flange was loose,  so i tightened the nut  about 1/2 a turn,  reinstalled the driveshaft, 

about a hour later i had to go to town,     i had  the most HORRIBLE  vibration,   i'm HOPING  that  the problem is in the u joint  but  the vibrations were only bad  during  acceleration or  deceleration   , that makes me think  bad pinion bearing 

i'm gonna  pull the shaft tomorrow find  a  u joint  that has  matching caps  and  re try it, 

[CTENG in KS]

That happened to me once...found out it was the drive shaft bolts vibrating themselves loose.  WAY loose.  Lost one, three hanging by a thread, literally.  Easy fix.

180 the shaft  ,,same thing happend here  and i took the rear shaft and 180 turned  on the  pinnion  fixed the  vibration

[79coyotefrg]

it was the u joint,  i had a koyo star  and  used 2 usa caps, 


i wanted  to have a grease zerk  so i used the entire  usa joint,  MUCHO BETTER

man sorry to see this pic of your truck

[Plekto]

Is there anything left of the one that hit you?  Got pics of it?

I can't imagine how much it must have been destroyed to mangle your bars and bumper that much.

Let me guess the Chevy was white?

Get the model# and contact Warn, tell them there winch totaled a Chevy and I bet they will send you a new cover.
