I also need to know how much slip to use on a linked suspension. I know it won't move as much as it did with the leaf springs. Knowing the diameter of the spline would help too.

I guess no one has driveshafts...

I do but I have a yoda..
I run 1/4 wall Dom.
Don't remember diameter right off,
Would have to measure.
I wouldn't make anything less than 1/4 wall.
I bent or twisted anything less.

I run .1875" wall tube. 14" of slip is good. Too heavy can eat up parts. Best weak link is driveshafts.

I told you what my measurements were. Guessing you need a whole driveshaft?

Tom woods uses 2" .120 wall for driveshafts.

I used 2", 1/4 wall DOM. Ordered my yolks from Northern Drivetrain and Carolina Driveline machined to fit. Made them in the buggy.

I ended up buying parts for 2 in quarter wall tubing. Has about seven and a half inches of total slip. This should be plenty strong.

Been working on getting the tcase tucked in and making a sturdy crossmember. My last one was bent up, so I beefed this up. Had to cut a big hole in the floor to get the tcase up where i wanted it. Still sticks out the bottom an inch. So much for a flat belly pan. Oh well, it will be mostly flat...

Got my t case shifters mounted in my console. Worked out perfectly by cutting out the square junk tray.

Since I run an electronic trans I needed to add a vss to the system. Luckily the ford np205 has the same 32 spline output as my np241 had. Drilled and tapped the case for the stock vss, and also had to remove about 1/4" off the reluctor ring width. So for a few hrs work and zero cost I have my oem vss setup.

Ky Mudhunter · 02-21-2019, 01:12 PM

I did the same thing on my Ford 205 for the speed sensor. I couldn't believe how easy it was to add.

Runoveru2 · 02-21-2019, 03:17 PM

Looking good, when are the axles going under it ?

Not soon enough. I'll most likely get the engine wired up before the axles go in.

That was a big help, thanks. Like 4 hrs of welding. Finally got the axles under the rig. Got the front and rear truss installed. The front and rear 4 links are almost done.

My last trip to Harlan i lost my pinion bearing. I was sure the gears were destroyed, but luckily there wasn't much damage to the teeth.

Thanks, will do. Tim has a piece of stainless I might use instead. Depends on how it looks.
