The axle in my truck is 4:10 posi
unfortunately it is also from a 65 (panhard bracket on the diff), my truck is a 64 (panhard bracket on the axle), this means if I use a 64 panhard bar it is too long and if I use a 65 the chassis bracket in the wrong place
The PO had not let mere technicalities like this get in the way and had simply bent a 65 bar until it lined up. I am hoping to come up with better solution
I am toying with the idea of leaving the bar full length and fabricating a bracket to sit on the outside edge of the chassis rail, the plus is it will give me the longest bar possible, the minus is it will be difficult to make it look good. I am undecided, so, while I am mulling this over I thought I would turn my attention to a bit of stripping down ready for a couple of rust repairs I need to do.
First up I removed the passenger door upon removing the check strap and found this absolute masterpiece of engineering.
A check strap made from a 3/16" spanner and 3/8" hex wrench.
It made me smile, I will definately keep it........but not on the truck
