We're building hotrods, dune buggies, sportscars, and hotrod pickup trucks. Doing lots of fabrication and car repairs along the way. For the most part, we don't care whether it's a Chev, Ford, Dodge, or Porsche, we don't let anything scare us away from working on it. That's providing that I have the right equipment to get 'er done right.

Boss 302/F100 Transmission Speedometer Delete Plug
zhlédnutí 110Před 3 lety
Speedo cable is damaged and leaking tranny fluid. I need a new cable, but I may need a longer one if I put the other top loader back into the truck. So I'll just plug it for now. This one is a 4 speed "overdrive trans". Probably not the best at the drag strip. Please Like, Comment and Subscribe!!

Boss 302/F100 Shorty Header Build
zhlédnutí 428Před 3 lety
After buying a set of new headers that don't fit, I bought the material to build a custom set for my truck. I have looked everywhere for headers for this Boss engine in an F100 and they are just not available. Building your own headers takes a bit of time and can be a bit intimidating, but once you get into it, it gets easier with practice.

Vintage Barbeque Restoration And Upgrade
Thanks brother i knew this but father time knocked it out of my mush Mellon thinking about buying a 67 cougar dude insisted its a 9in at first glance i said no ANYTIME I QUESTION MYSELF I CHECK WITH THE EXPERT
Quick Speed Shop CZcams channel has a good video using a Speedway Motors disc brake conversion kit. I watched it before I ordered my kit for my 50 Ford pickup with a 55 axle.
What about the service plug on the 8 inch?
Love the repurposed 81mm Mortar Ammunition Can behind the fuel tank. (I got routed here researching 002 vs 005 vs 091)
Does the 9 inch directly fit in a 65 mustang? Or do I need to make changes to the structure? Thank you!
Most 9" diff may be too wide for a "65 Mustang, but some earlier ones may fit without narrowing them. Check this web sight . It can tell you more than I can. www.fordification.com/tech/rearends_ford03.htm
The replacement of the original 1970 T2 flasher relay with a new one works perfectly for LED bulbs. But since the spade pin connectors on the new flasher relay are not configured the same, it will not plug into the fuse box. Four short wire jumpers about 2” in length and terminated with ¼” male and female spade connectors will have to be made. Wire size of 14 AWG should suffice. The wire insulation color does not matter so long as the jumpers are connected to the same pin connections for terminals 31, KBL (or K1), 49 and 49a, into the fuse box. The male connector end plugs into the fuse box and the female end plugs into the new flasher relay.
Are these as cores worth anything? Long story how I came into one. Been told it’s got racing gears but reverse is out. From reading it’s a “002”? The guy was involved in dune buggy racing.
Yes! The core is worth $150 cd. I delivered a trans axle personally to avoid expensive shipping charges. Now, it just so happened that I was going to be passing by AVR Import Specialties in Abbotsford British Columbia and they took the core in and handed my $150 cd cash on the spot. Maybe if you check around you may be able find a VW parts supplier closer to home. This the guys in Abbotsford BC. avrparts.com/ The next link is for California Import Parts in the USA. www.cip1.ca/ Check around on the internet and maybe you will find some air cooled V-Dub parts people closer to your home. Good luck! P.S. Reverse is the weakest gear in a VW transaxle. Always treat reverse with respect. ranchotransaxles.com/
@@AxelPowersGarage Thank you so much for that information. I will research if there is anyone in my general area. I’m somewhat near St.Louis.
So cool
“You must learn the difference before you can tell the difference.”
Great information! Would the two axles be interchangeable on a Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car?
The 9" would be the best choice for the full size cars. The 8" is intended for smaller pony cars and mid size cars.
@@AxelPowersGarage I definitely agree, my question is will it be a straight swap or will it have to be cut and welded?
They do come in different widths and the mounting hardware varies depending on the type of suspension. If you can find a diff from the same car you are working on, it will be a simple bolt in application. All the information can be found on the tag. Check a web sight called fordification.com for more information.
thanks in the early 1970s my Dad drove a 67 Mustang Fastback 289 Automatic and he had our garage littered with Ford Rear ends. he bought out of junkyards all from different Ford models that had different gearing in them he would come home from work eat dinner then go into our garage to swap the rear ends in the family car to try and make it a little faster ! he often. ran around with. a stopwatch and was checking times with the family in the car on rare occassions it was just him and I in the car and as a boy i thought it was cool most especially when he laid Rubber on the road !
This video was literally a waste of time! Use this as a dislike button.
It would be nice if we could hear you
Thanks I got it now 👍🏻
What was the cost?
The new transaxle was around $2600.00.
Please add the 9” Ford rear end has different axles The 9” has round dimples or indentations on the outside ends. 8” axles have a D shaped space at the outside end.
The 8” housing is flat on the top. A 9” housing is rounded on the top to accommodate the larger ring gear. The back of the 9” housing also is rounded (vs the flatter 8”) for the same reason.
It also looks like the fluid fill plug is in a totally different location.
I can now with confidence tell folks my truck has a 9 inch rear. Bravo and thank you sir!
DAMN!! Nice job. I have to get to work on my Keystones.
I got a bare housing as far as I can tell it's a 9in the third member gasket should be different.
The gasket would definitely be different. Check out part 2 video for the socket test. It doesn't lie.
Cool setup for a Grinder
Thank you
Perhaps the modern fuel , w/alcohol has ruined the pump. It happens.
if you gonna junk it , send it me way , i have a few of these around the shop .
may be better if you run it off a battery with the charger just to keep it charged
when you get it running right , they better than the heater boxes which rust out in a few years an cost hundreds uf not thousands ( when you run a bus ) good vid
Great video,just one little hiccup. How can you tell what wire is for what when there All painted? I ask because I just picked up a 72 super beetle and the previous owner had spray painted everything under the Bonet ( old english term) and now I'm facing a nightmare with rewiring the fuse box
Haha! Yes, that can be a problem. Most often I scrape some of the paint off the wire to see what color(s) they are and check some with a test light and some wiring diagrams. Mostly, an experimental procedure. There is a guy on CZcams that knows far more about these heaters than I do. Also, I found some wiring diagrams that help. I chose to remove the gas heater completely as my Bug is only driven in the summer time. My heater boxes are in mint condition, so I can pull enough heat in from the engine to get me through those cool summer nights.
This guy, Jason Weigel seems to know lots. czcams.com/video/UgHFny6Eyo4/video.html
I have a service manual on my computer, But I may have post it on my Face Book page or something to share it.
Thank you much.
Hii,,, what year is the 8.8 diferencial ❓
Neither of these are 8.8. That is a newer axle that replaced the 9".
👍 thanks for the video!
Wow read the tag, why didn’t I think of that 🙄
Yeah, why didn't you think of that? A large number of people just take that pesky tag off and throw it in the scrap bucket.
Hi I am installing a 9" rear in my 1953 F100. Where can I get the U bolts and shackles with the Shock mounts. ANy help would be great.
Take the measurements to your local spring shop and have them custom make to suit your needs. That's probably more economical than shipping costs from a big box store. Very affordable and good insurance to help keep your rear axle from rolling out from underneath your truck.
Oh yes something else. My understanding is that any Ford F100 9" between 1957 to 1972 "should just bolt into your '53 pickup ".
Very little sound

I am putting in a Spal fan in a 1964 Ford f250. That should help with the small block get back some of the horse power robbed by the mechanical fan.
What year rear end
I'm not sure what year this one is. The tag was missing off it. I do know that it is between a '57 to a '72 inclusive. The previous owner upgraded the spring pads to match the wider leaf springs in his '53 F100.
Nice work shop.
Ugly pinstripe. You’re not bleeding it correctly either. You belong in your pickup truck
What size come in a 1969 F100
9" narrow F100 version.
"plastic battery powered junk" right on brother
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍
Which rear end can I get in a junkyard to upgrade a 1947 ford pickup? Thank you
I'm not sure about a '47. but a 9inch Ford from a '57 to a '72 Ford F100 pickup is basically a bolt in swap for '53 to '56 Ford F100 pickups. There are a number of other rear ends that will be suitable for your '47 with minor modifications as well. Maybe check the links I have attached for more info. www.ford-trucks.com/articles/1953-1956-f100-rear-end-selection-and-rear-suspension-lowering/

They look fantastic. I had a set on my 73 Camaro.
Great job guys
Good vid !
Thanks!
Early 9 inches had a rear cover similar to an 8 inch
Thanks for this info, I just got a '64 Ranchero and this helped me id the rear end.
i found the heater interesting thank you
You're welcome.
Nice! I just added power disc brakes this summer to my 53 ! I used the Mid Fifty’s kit. Thought I was going to have to move the fuse block, but I go lucky and it just missed it,
