- Project Whitey returns with facilitating the backing plate repair on the rear axle. Edited using Serif Movie Plus X5. A very functional and easy to use program with a lot of possibilities. You'll have to stop back later for the full review. It's late, I'm tired and ready for bed.
This video is part of the "Project Whitey" series. For the entire playlist, go here:

Great to see you working on Whitey again. Keep up the good work & the videos Jeff. Carry on..
Good stuff..Reminds me of the good old days when I first started as a technician when we actually rebuilt everything..I remember rebuilding many rear end assy..Take care. Thanks for the video.
Looks like someone maybe had the axle/drum/wheel/tire come off all at once at highway speeds! I had that exact thing happen on a fullsize Jeep doing about 75 MPH years ago... Talk about fun! =]
jeff is just one of us shade tree mechanics , ya gotta like him lol
I absolutely love the outtakes Brad! "Enough!" Hillarious!
Great videos Sir. Enjoy watching them and I get a good laugh too.
Thank God you put on another video! I couldn't set through another one of pissers videos. You have the best! Very informative well made Videos...My $3.00 is in the mail!!
That was a good fix for rivets on the backing plate.
Mainly because...I didn't think of that!
Dang... Would have saved me a buncha work and been a fine repair...
Hey! 63 Impaller! Why didn't you think of that??
Good vid jeff lot of good bolt info for those who may not know!
hey jeff, i love watching you work. any place that looks like sanford and son, and sounds like old mc donalds farm is my kind of of place.
bout time jeff !! we were planning on a funeral as long as it has been since we have seen you lmao
Another option besides tapping the plate that I've used over the years is nearled press in studs, NAPA has this awesome stud measurements catalog, just mic out all your numbers and sit at the stool at the counter and match em up..
just love all the good safety tips you learn here, always think "dont do that!" :-D
Planned from the start. Can't find one. I'm sure it'll show up after I get this one in!
Of all the trucks I would love to own this body style is number three. #1 NAPCO converted Chev Apache, #2 Flat-fender Power-wagon #3 Whitey. lol
Good one Jeff as always !!!!
Great video!!!
keep up the fine work
Great video, now I know how to find GM gear ratios!
Very informative Jeff! Good one!
Four good 1/2" long welds would keep that backing plate from budging with those bolts in those sloppy holes, and they could be placed so you could access them with a grinder to undo them in the future.
Thanks Jeff, I enjoyed the video. Good Job!
that so funny,,,you are so dang creative..yet you didn't think o the simple fix :) ...love your episodes man!
Could you make the hole alittle small and then heat the flange and pop the bolt through while hot? The idea would be as it cools, it would shrink and hold the bolt in.
you could have also went with a 10mm grade eight bolt
less reaming , great vid thank you
I would have checked into useing a wheel stud instead of a bolt, that way you have a knurled shoulder to go through the flange.
It's been too long! Love these vids!
I just bought a 55 GMC 100 (half ton) and I do believe that the rear axle ratios that is on GM differentials are a 3.90:1. My truck had a 287 Pontiac which is a 288 GMC hooked up to a Hydramatic transmission.
+Eagle Ho SCORE! You'll be making video's, right?
+ElderlyIron Hopefully I can make a video of an old start. The beast went into hibernation since April 1991, according to the last registration tags left on it.
I did try to light a torch with my zippo lighter at my school's shop.
Great video
swap the axles side to side , then the torque side of the spline is the good side of the spline , it will also get rid of the slop sound in the rear , you have never done that lol
I have a set of jackstands just like that.
Thank you!
Also never cut or weld metal with a lighter in your pocket. Not pretty if hot slag has the chance to burn through a lighter that happens to be in your pocket.
I like your model A jack stands
In your editing take it easy on the volume input and please spend the money or get a sponsor for a wireless microphone. otherwise great video. Best I've watched for a one man operation. Thanx for the view.
That was a great video.I grew up with front wheel drives so I've never really torn down a rear end.I've seen what happens when a guy goes down the road and those "C" locks are missing though.Also on my Scout the rear fenders are riveted on.I made a piece for my air chisel in the engine lathe and my wife held the buck.I'd Heat them red and smash them down with the air chisel.Could you do that on the axle or would the temper be all screwed up?
good job love your video shave a 64 gmc 305 e on Craigslist 80000 actual miles can hear run for 300
+Ronnie Taylor Buy it! Don't let it get away!
I am way too picky I would have to find another if I couldn't rivet it as it would be. With that said I love your videos big fan.
+So Choice Fitness BUDGET son, BUDGET!!!
I scraped the parts you needed ;( I removed mine and went to a later rear ...
why didn't you tap the flange and bolt on and add locking nuts on the rear? thats how i have seen alot of old gm products fixxed through the years
When I don't want something absolutely, positively, to not come apart, I use RED locktite.
3 seconds later "AHARAROOOOOO"
Just to be curious though couldn't you just thread the hole
Great video. When you say interference are you mean ing clearance? Also could you have used a 7/16 drill bit?
Did you get a new camera?
Now do the other side
dag gone does it always rain there?
Nasticus Differentialii
any plans for a posi
you mean my method of drilling out the center most of the way through and then punching them through was the wrong way to do it?
+consaka1 I dunno. What did I say? I don't want to have to watch it all over again!
ElderlyIron lol. I was just commenting on needing heat. I think you said something about needing heat or something for those big rivets. I would have to watch it again to be sure. I'm getting too old to remember these little details. ;)
ENOUGH!!! hahaha XD
FURST
im the one that has it in my garage dont have anything to put it in
