That sucks big time. Stay positive and think of all the things that didn't get damaged:
a. You
b. The engine, transmission, wheels, tires, interior etc.
At the speed you were going it could have been catastrophic.
It might make you feel a little bit better.
@eldubb440 is selling his lid and I was able to look there for roughly what I needed but would still appreciate closeup pics of the corners. I couldn't stop myself from moving forward.
The indent for the bumper/stop looked about 4.5" in from the edge and was angled slightly, so I cut and bent...
Dang, that does look strange...Like the tailshaft housing is a midget or something.
Stock 904 for traditional applications...
The A-100:
You'd probably have a foot long drive shaft with a regular 904.
I knew a fat guy that was trapped under his Maverick when installing a transmission. He was shaking and shaking trying to get it to mate to the back of the 302 when he shook the car off of one jackstand.
He lived.
He was stuck under the car for hours until someone came home and slipped a floor...
This is mine - I just slide the back end out if I need to remove it.
I had to get a suspension bush modified locally for the hanger....some stuff just cannot be bought new. I have the new deep pan fitted now as per suggestion by member @66 Sat in Australia. :thumbsup:
That picture above has a fixed yoke on the trans, it reminds me of the ball and trunnion flange setup which is far different from the traditional slip yoke.
You'd need some type of drive shaft with a slip/spline design, right?
Sorry to derail...at least this topic is staying at the top for a bit!
The A-100 models never had front disc brakes, did they?
If that is true, yeah....you use whatever you can find. I remember seeing the unique transmission cases they used. Pretty strange!
:thumbsup: It wasn't a criticism against you Greg. :)
In my case there are no easy to swap out parts for these trucks - you're lucky to find even the correct parts. :p
I meant nothing bad about Scarebird, just that parts availability will be much easier with a stock steering knuckle and 1973-89 era factory based rotors and calipers.
I've heard of Scarebird providing brackets for vehicles with setups that were not compatible with factory Mopar brakes. In that...
I know that feeling. It took two attempts to get the right one for my A100.
First one I got was a 3196, then ended up with a 4315 which is close enough - except the wire for the horn is soldered (soddamised) on the wrong side of the contact disc. I was able to relocate it - and leave...
I know a guy who did that once ......once.
My school friend's older brother - he should have known better being a mechanic.
Working at home alone under his rodded Mark 3 Zephyr.....wheels not chocked, and when the parking brake let go, the axle housing dragged him by the chin on his back...
I know that ScareBird used to make adapter brackets and sell them with a list of compatible parts that the buyer then finds on his own. They often looked much like those that you have there.
You would have better luck finding some 73-76 A body disc brake knuckles like these:
...or 1973-89...
