Re: Clutch Heaven

I am using the V8 clutch disc and pressure plate. Smoother and stronger. I've heard good things about those V8 clutches, is any kind of a modification necessary to install one? I had a sedan with an original clutch plate, no doubt relined at some point, it was somewhat unforgiving, a little too res...

Re: Clutch Heaven

Thats engaging, would you be willing to share your source for the clutch disk material? I gave up trying to locate a disk with AA specs and installed the A model disk.

Re: mystery number

It is the body number. Tells you where it was made. Sorry I don't know the code.
TC is for Twin City. That is, St. Paul, MN

Re: King pins

Just curious, anyone know why A has thrust bearing on top and AA on bottom? Old one ton Chevys and GMCs I used to work on had them on bottom like AA. (Sorry not a very good picture) Good question, pretty sure they can be installed either on top or on the bottom (I think I've done both) but as you s...

Re: Spring Bushings

Re: Spring Bushings

I welded mine over head and filed them, not as easy as welding them inverted but I didn't have to take the truck apart to do it.

Re: Steering worm removal.

I've heard good things about the f150 boxes but If you stick with the original consider a shortened pitman arm, hardly noticeable from the original but makes for more responsive steering, i guess the theory being one needed all the leverage they could get for unpaved rutted roads, it is one of the f...
