I figured it might be time to start a build thread on my Coronet to document my build and hopefully help some people avoid a bunch of the headaches I have encountered along the way. I'll start with today's adventure and work my way back.
Today's adventure was the install of a new S60 Dana. It definitely is a job best done by two people but I managed it on my own. I ordered it from Doctor Diff with some custom tweaks. The '67s are notorious for the driver side wheel well being tight. To buy myself a little room I had it made 1-1/2" narrower which worked out great. Now my 275-60x15's will fit without rubbing. That's the good news. The bad news is that I ordered it with the heavy duty LPW girdle rear cover which won't clear the gas tank. So now I've got a regular cover on the way. Cass said he never heard of anyone else having this issue so I figured I would share. Bummer because now I have to wait before I can order the drive shaft.
Here's a few pics:
