do any of you guys want to help your moderator get his "79" F-350 4X4 dump back on the road??

i need 2 divorced transfer case mounting bolts.

back in the spring. Cheeto was nice enough to send me a set of divorced transfer case mounts, bushings, and one bolt.
i have been able to get one of the bolts out of the transfer case. the other two are so rusted/corroded i am going to have to torch them off so i can get this case back in the truck

while the truck is classified as a 79 by DMV, it is a mutt. 69 300 engine and 4 speed trans, 72 frame and transfer case, 79 cab, 79 Dana 60 front and rear axles, 82 aluminum flatbed rack dump body.


this is what i am fighting with:

 

My mental picture of the bolts is drawing a blank...

Cant you run down to the local hardware store and pick up a few bolts?

 

nut top and bottom, with a shoulder washer in the middle.

nope, not a hardware store thing.

 

so bassically a peice of threaded rod with a washer in the middle of it??

 

meh, weld it in. you'll be dead by the time it rusts through again

 

Larry,
It has a larger OD middle with a smaller OD threaded portion.

Tom,
I'll take a look tomorrow morning when I get off. There is a very small chance I have a couple.

 

so both ends are say 1/2" and the middle is 5/8's?

(i know its prolly not the right size's)



just trying to picture it in my head havent ever dealt with a divorced case

 

All the bolts I've ever seen are just regular bolts and a spacer..... (Chevy, and IH)

 

my memory was off by a bit.


the hex part is inside the case, with a washer and bushing on each side of the case, then the mount plate, and another bushing washer then the nut.

 

No luck Tom. Sorry.

 

guess i will have to try to find cheeto and see if he has any left

 

He might, but it will take a month to ship them and 4 months for him to cash your check.



Stupid idea alert...


What if you used a piece of all thread and a coupling nut threaded down to the middle?


Scratch that....wont work.

 

Tom, just a thought but ARP makes a stud kit for bellhousings and i know they are similar in appearence up to 7/16th. That might work OR they might have something that will if you know the specs

 

Weld the heads of two bolts together

 

^this......
