Sorry about this- I am posting for my husband. He is stuck in the mud with his new 1995 M35A3. He needs help getting out. Please if you can help let me know! We are in Deltona, FL the closest intersection is Captain and Lake Helen Osteen Road. Please help if you can! Alison The truck is...

I apologize for the delay. They are supposed to have a computer model ready. There is some difficulty in the design of the wire extension. With the move and their being busy I have not been able to keep it moving the way I like. I am hoping to get something finalized next week. Anyone who is...

The old chucker is coming together. What follows is about 10 hours worth of work summed up in 7 photos. The majority of the work is not apparent. I am not going to explain myself just yet. I believe things will become clear as the build progresses. I stopped a 1p to take the first four and at...

Thanks for the vote of confidence BR. Missed you on Sat. Oh well, another time. I am expecting a shipment on Friday that should help get this critter rolling under her own power. The plan, subject to change.... again, is to have her a Jack's by Monday. I have a plot twist brewing, so stay...

A better look at the plumbed Dana 60. I ran out of SS lines (had almost enough from a previous project), so I am using the OE lines from the front at present. The newly painted reciever hitch is in, as is the modified skid plate. It is unfortunate though, that I will have to drop the tank...

A few shots of the secondary cross-member install as well as the rear driveshaft and the E-brake setup. I like the way it turned out.

It has been too long sense I updated. Suppose it is time for some catch-up. Installed the remote Trans filter and the cooler off of the K30. Finally got the HAD parking brake setup and installed that. Most of my time was spent poking around with the cable routing. It works very well! Also...

Today I did the mock up on the front drive shaft. To my dismay-relatively little- the 3R Saginaw CV did not clear. One of the reasons I chose the spacer for the t-case was to avoid this issue. Only one choice, clearance the pan. I did some research to see what others had done: 1) let the drive...

I pulled apart the instrument cluster, though I have not decided what to do yet. I know I hate the idiot lights and I will have need of boost, pyrometer, and voltage gauges. I also pulled out the gear indicator to switch with the one from the donor. I installed the rear air bags. Jack found...

I have the, next to final, mock-up of the twin stick setup finished. I am waiting on some 5/16" - 24 stainless steel rod to complete the final install. Moving the shifters forward required quite a bit of modification to the original setup. I am quite pleased with the fit and function of the...

It would seem I am behind again. I had been doing a lot of busy work while waiting on my custom flange and parking brake system to arrive. I have a few relevant pictures. The modified skid plate. I added 3.5 inches of .125 plate. It now fits the 31 gallon fuel tank nicely. I installed the...

Which brings us, finally, to today. I modified the floor pan to accommodate the transfer-case mounted brake that will be coming from High Angle Drive Lines. Actually, I modified the floor to accommodate my center console. I just had to have cup holders. It does give me a nice platform to mount...

I scored a receiver hitch off of the parts Blazer and a 31 gallon fuel tank (The factory one was 25, both of which are finding homes under the cHucv. I have a lot of irons in the fire, due to delays on parts and the short amount of time available. I am having to modify the factory skid plate...

A few more on the mount.

I bought my shaft from Off Road Designs. It is new production. I have been seeing them come up on Ebay ever sense, used. I did not have time to hunt for one though. Thanks for the insight. Here is the fabrication process of the twin stick mounting bracket.

A little comparison of the drive shafts. I had a SuperDuty drive-shaft laying around. So I am having it shortened and a custom flange made to fit the Ford flange and also accommodate the parking brake. The larger one is the SuperDuty with 1410 U joints. The other two are 1350 and 1310 Rear and...

The spacer/adapter I ordered was not supposed to require trimming of the output shaft. Well guess what. I did have to remove 3/8 of an inch for the correct 7/8" stick-out that is required. A little angle grinder action and we are in business. I also had to order $25 worth of threaded rod so that...

Here is a comparison of the factory 10 spline yoke (NP205) and the factory 32 spline yoke (NP208). The twin stick set in it's initial iteration. I decided to run them in the factory CUCV t-case shift hole. More on the custom bracket later. The spacer that goes between the 700R4 and the...

A few mare pictures of the NP205 rebuild. First a comparison of the 10 spline shaft and the new 32 spline unit. Notice the increase in diameter. Those external bearings are a pain to put in. The little ones inside the shafts are difficult too. The mounting plate for the secondary cross-member.

Pulling the critter apart is easy! Before and after of the rear shift rail. Beware those that call it a selector or range rail. Those are misleading terms and misnomers, and can confuse the uninitiated. The rail closest to the input side controls the rear output shaft only (High Neutral Low)...
