I'm looking for a set of high ratio (5.14) bevel gears for a 30/31 rear end in good usable condition, preferably also with the speedometer drive gear. Let me know what you have and how much you are asking for them.

thanks

Jeff

Wow, thanks guys, I'll put together a list of what I'm going to be needing and get back to you.

Jeff

Yep, mine has the car front end and gets steadily newer as you go to the rear!. 4 speed tranny also. Everything absolutely worn out and corroded, especially the springs, but I'm getting there.

Hi, Have just pulled apart the 30/31 diff on the '29 truck I am working on - yes I know it is a real bitsa! The bevel gears are quite pitted over about half the teeth- looks like there may have been water in the diff at some time. Seeing as how I will have to replace the gears, how difficult is it t...

Sounds good, sent you a an email.

Wow, thanks Bob, just bought the last one - big problem solved!

Jeff

Would anyone have a good usable countershaft (the lower shaft for the gear cluster) for a 4 speed transmission - part no. AA 7111. Mine has grooves worn in it where the bearings run.

thanks

Jeff

Thanks for good the info Shelby. I've only ever done stick welding so MIG is a whole new ball game for me. Didn't know about the copper plate trick so will be trying that!

Hi Shelby,
That's really nice work. I have a lot of repairs to do to my cab also so I'd really appreciate some info and advice on best way of going about repairs.

thanks
Jeff

I’m restoring a 1929 truck to use as a working truck and would like to fit a hand cranked hoist to tip the bed. Would anyone have the works of one that they want to sell – something like the Little Giant underbody hoist would be ideal. Let me know what you have and how much.

Thanks

Jeff

Not sure where the photo went!

Hi Shorthaul,

This is what the strap looks like - not very exciting. It just fits into a flat milled into the end of the shaft to stop it turning. Jeff

Thanks ModelAMan 72, yes, the shaft is stepped, after soaking it for a week, I gave it a light tap with a drift and it moved ever so slightly so I just kept tapping and after about 10 minutes it was out. Just as well I did take it out, one of the roller bearings inside seems pretty beat up on the en...

Thanks guys, currently back to work so will get back to it next weekend.

Hi Flatford 39,

No this one came from Canada. Have taken one layer of crud off it, still can't see anything - back in for another soak!
