Re: 1970 Gear Change / Transmission Swap

I also think I've found the last two Accuride 28160's, I currently have four on the truck now and two 28160J's Wheels Now replacement rims. I'm going to have six of the 28160J's for sale soon, if anybody's interested.

Honestly I don't mind if you don't wanna talk about it, but how did you find a NOS 280VO? Back 8-10 years ago I couldn't find one of those used!


And you actually rebuilt the carrier, which shows much more knowledge than I have. I just threw it in used(the place I bought it from said I was A-OK).

You are basically doing what I dreamt of. Can we see the rest of the truck?
I found a rebuilt one at a medium duty truck dealer back east, when I called them and started talking to the parts guy he told me that he also had a new, never installed one that he'd sell me for a few hundred dollars more (but the new one had no core, so it was a wash). I think they still have the other rebuilt unit that I was originally going to buy, if anybody's interested - I can forward contact information.
