How did you weld the iron?
Actually its made of cast steel its not that hard to weld. |

there really shouldnt be any distortion as thick as the housing is and no hotter than I got it during welding, I did not weld solid all the way around all at once, I did a little at a time, I got the idea to do this from a rear end builder so hopefully all is well, if not i have hardly anything invested in it yet so we will see. |

yeah, i was thinking about th edistortion on the machined surfaces myself. it is a good idea though, any heat from welding can do damage.

You said this was a truck rear? 3/4 ton with full floating axles? Are the axle tubes 3-1/8" OD? What year of truck (I assume many)? I am looking at using a junker DANA 60, but car ones are just stupid (expensive  ). I can weld, so I thought I could modify a DANA instead of worrying about an 8-3/4. Any comments from anyone who has chopped a truck rear before?  |

You could always use a truck Dana with cal-tracks and mono-leafs. No snubber to worry about.

Even though this is an old thread, I'd be interested in seeing the pictures as well. |
