Back to the original post, even though I miss the Cap. I thought that way he changed the fill plug location was cheap and slick!

Wow. Nice work.

One question, what was the cut in the diff cover for? Did he relocate the fill plug? Also, how well will the pinion bearings get oiled with that setup?

looks like he just cut the fill plug and fliped it over to raise the hole up,to cool. but did anyone notice it,s not a ford the diff is on the wrong side. i wonder how hard it would be to take the tubes out and swap them side to side? i got some gm axles out here all rebiult with 4:56's and would love to put'em under my 85

VERY NICE WORK!! Wouldn't it have been easier if he would have just drilled out the welds connecting the pumpkin to the axle tubes and turned them? That is what I would have done...or am I missing something?

Same result. The object was to rotate the diff upward to reduce pinion angle. He still would have had to do the mods to the spring perchs.

easier said then done... those axle tubes are pressed in pretty hard and they are hard to just rotate! best to pull them out twist and press back in.

however, if i was going to be in there anyways and do all that work... i prolly would have bit the bullet and bought a slick set of dedenbears! might as well after all that!
