Nice job! Great idea on the fill spout the fatory should make them that way much easier to fill. Nice to have a drain as well. Need to build myself a rearend one day been looking for a old late 50s pontiac for my 55 getting hard to find these days. Thanks for sharing Take care👍
yes, sir I did they are not stock axles I pieced this rear end together from swap meet and eBay parts thank you for watching and commenting I'm going to finish it and install next week
I'm using a flux core I've had good results with it in the past. however, one this rear I'm going to go back over all the welds with a stick welder using a 7018 rod just for a little extra strength. thanks again for subing and watching the content
Hey, how you doing, buddy I'm trying to do that to my rear end. But I'm not shorting it Just trying to put different brackets on it like your doin To fit my emergency break.Bracket That goes over my roaders Do I need to take out the whole carrier
As long as you don't get any metal shavings or welding Slag inside the tubes you should be fine leaving the carrier in iwould pack some rags or a old shirt in there to try and keep it clean
@@hotrodhustle5456 well watching your vid,i never knew of those end thingys,so i pulled out my useless 9" floater and now im tryin to figure out how to adopt it,cheers

@@hotrodhustle5456 housings are newer straight, when you make it shorter , parts just wont line up correctly. You should have a centering tool to make it straight, rigid rod that goes through third member and both bearing caps.. Usually you have to use heat or press to get everything lined up.
Thank you for elaborating I agree that is the best way to do it but the element bar is expensive and not everyone can afford one I have been running an axle I did this same way for 6 years and haven't had bearing or spline issues this is just my personal experience thank you again for your comments

I didn’t notice did you use change the axles ? Great vid ! Well done !

Thanks wondered how to narrow one. Are you use flux core or gas welder?

What did you do about the axles? They have to be shortened also,correct? The video was very helpful just didn't see what you did to the axles.
Hey brother thanks for commenting I got these axles used from the swap meet. I used a cut off wheel to remove about an inch of splines on each axle

Put those end weld on pieces in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes then they will drop on
that is a good idea i could even hit the tubes with a little freon or n2o to cool them down thanks for the input

Let me know if it doesn't work
Heat the new axle end in the oven
I will definitely give that a try next time
👍🏻🍺

Next time use a 4inch pipe cutter
hey that's a great idea I will have to keep an eye out for one at the pawn shop!
i guess dares diffrent ways to skin a a$$
thats not the right way to do it..
Could you please elaborate. It has been working well so far
