Re: My 63

I would say that it's probably binding because of how the axle is bolted with the u-bolts. Just my guess.

Re: My 63

Is the crossbar your centerlink ties to attached to the frame or the rearend? It could be deceiving, but it looks like its welded to the frame. Shouldnt it be attached to the rearend? Also, are the bolts in the front too tight and pulling the mounting tabs into the eys of ur centrlink?

Re: My 63

Looks like it's mounted to the top of the rearend. You can see the tabs. I wonder if everything is mounted perfect. Just hard to tell.

Dam that box sides look like something Picasso would have dreamed up. I lost two layers of skin chemically stripping a buddy's car even though I had industrial rubber gloves. No tingling from your hands I hope!

Re: My 63

Nice progress. My kids would love that "Tow Mater". I've seen people lay a sheet of plastic over stripper once it is applied. It keeps it from drying out, so it keeps working. It looks like it works pretty good when I see them do it, but have never tried it myself.
