RCbowtie69 · 02-21-2011, 11:12 PM

Sweet!!!!!!!!! you have came a long ways & keep on truckin''

brn agn · 05-21-2011, 09:27 PM

I haven't done much to this truck except drive it lately, but I HAD to work on it this week and thought I would pass along what I found.

Over the last month I have heard a slight "ticking" noise while moderately accelerating. It was occurring in both drive and reverse. I had looked the truck over, but didn't find anything and concluded that it was a parking brake cable or speedometer cable slapping the frame.

Well, last Saturday I hopped in the truck and as I was pulling out of the driveway I heard, "tick, tick, tick, pop, rattle, rattle". I pulled back in the driveway to find the carrier bearing broken off from the frame and the driveshaft laying in the crossmember. After looking at it closer, I am certain that the 6" drop on the rear of the truck was forcing the driveshaft into the carrier bearing and it eventually ripped the bearing housing apart. I pulled the driveshaft last Sunday and this is what it looked like:

So, I decided to have a one piece shaft made. I took some measurements and dropped off my old driveshaft at a local shop on Monday. I picked up a new one piece driveshaft on Thursday. Here is what it looked like when I picked it up:

...and here it is after it was painted:

The new driveshaft is 59 3/8" from center of u-joint to center of u-joint, 3.5" in diameter and was $320. When I tried to install it, I found that the bracket for the carrier bearing interfered with the new shaft. I ground the rivets off and removed the bracket. The new driveshaft fit perfect after that. I have not had a chance to test drive it, but I don't expect there to be any issues. Cheers!

Thanks for checking in. I'll let you know something ASAP.

Just read this whole thing. Looking Good! I was a little dissapointed to see the pipe wasn't yours. The whole time I read this I was imagining a small town pipe smoking pastor putting a truck together! Either way, good work!

Ha, ha! Someone at work saw my truck in the parking lot and said, "I didn't know that you smoked!". I have been known to drive around with the pipe in my mouth for fun.

Thanks! That means a lot! I added a hidden hitch to it earlier this summer, but beyond that I have just been driving it. I even use it as a truck every once in awhile.

Here is proof:

BTW, I see you live in New Haven. I lived in Washington, MO for 6 years.

mcbassin · 11-08-2011, 09:29 AM

Very cool picture of you using your truck!

gcburdic · 11-08-2011, 10:18 AM

Nice!!!...so that's the Camaro you bought!!!

abebummy26 · 11-08-2011, 12:39 PM

I graduated high School there. When were you here?

I have a picture with it full of mulch too! That's what I love about this truck. I enjoy driving, the stance and wheels make it look like it is a work in progress, but I can still use it as a truck.

I lived there from 1999 to 2005. My wife and I have a lot of good memories from that town. I would love to have a burrito from El Nopal, a burger and fries from Dairy Delight, and a ice cream from Fritz's right now.

abebummy26 · 11-08-2011, 01:19 PM

Fritz's is no longer fritz's, It's still just as good though. I'm not sure if el Nopal is still El Nopal. It's been a while since I have been there. Dairy delight is still there though. Alot of stuff has changed since then. Wal Mart moved. Target is out by where Chico's used to be. There is a Kohl's out there as well. 100 is 4 lane all the way to 44.
