Welded Gears Are Better Than No Gears!

Nothin wrong with a Lincoln Locker. Main thing is you got another beautiful truck back on the road. Keep'm comin!

Max I appreciate it that you are so down to earth. Regular people don't have the extra money laying around for their auto repair all the time so we do what we do to get by. Great video

[@Superduty_59]

You did the right thing temporarily. I wonder what other rear end would just swap in without too much modification. Maybe a square body rear end.

[@SquareMax]

@Superduty_59 Appreciate it buddy. I'm on the search for a spare rear or whole truck

[@mohawkgarage]

The ole multiple burnout test! I've been looking for a 1960-1966 Chevrolet pickup for a while now. The 3-on-the-tree makes her perfect. Just gorgeous. Killer video, my bruthuh!

[@SquareMax]

@mohawkgarage Morning buddy. Had to make sure she was tight for the wifey. I'll keep my eyes open for you. Appreciate it man

[@Wil_Liam1]

Preserving open RTV,place some plastic sandwich baggie material over the cleaned threads before installing the cap to snug,and then place inside of a good quality ziploc bag,removing as much air as possible and then store in a cool dark place and it'll usually be good for much longer periods of time...

[@SquareMax]

@Wil_Liam1 Appreciate that buddy. I will definitely keep that in mind

[@namelessjoe11]

@SquareMax you too have a good weekend 😁

[@derelict_wanderer]

Glad to see that thing back on the roads. You already know this, but just be careful in the rain with that beauty til you get the axle permanently sorted. If you do go through the 'building a rear axle' for it, I vote doing a Truetrac carrier. Helical geared limited slip that won't get squirrelly in the rain. Glad to see my Wag on the shop wall! Maybe I should upload a short walk around video of it on my channel. Oh, and I learned 'stick' on my grandpa's 76 C-10 with the 250 and 3 on the tree. Getting the hang of the 1-2 shift without accidentally grinding reverse took some work.

[@SquareMax]

@derelict_wanderer Definitely worth it man. Just make few videos and people will steadily come. Definitely been a fun adventure so far. I learned on a old f100. I always put in 1st instead of reverse lol

[@getnbetr01]

U made something outta potentially nothing and Lucy's riding again! Good going my man!!! 👍👍👍👍

Yea Sir, we called that , traction control for the one wheel peel, back in the old days! Cause it effectively stopped the peel of the one wheel! Dude, you'll be doing advertising for the Beard product sellers soon, you getting it right. Another great video/MOMA tagging along.

Hey! Good morning! Way to save on Lucy’s rear end! Don’t blow up that 3speed doin burnouts, idk how many I broke on my old 60 c10 back in the day. I keep looking at Lucys dashboard and remembering my truck also had manual choke but also where yours is blanked off I had a manual throttle and radio delete panel. Good memories! This would be early 80’s🙄. 3:30am here in Seattle can’t sleep and watching your vid. Thanks guys! Keep it up✌️

You need to clean and paint Lucy's hub caps. It is easy and make her look a lot better.

[@SquareMax]

@@duceboy100 We will keep that in mind. Hope you enjoy your weekend

[@Wil_Liam1]

Just remember to place the ground clamp on the carrier so it's not grounding through the carrier bearings,and to clean all slag and spatter out so as to not get any of it into the bearings via the gear oil..

Posi-traction is GM's name for limited slip. What you've made is a locking... Well, a locked differential. An open diff sends power to 1 wheel with the least grip. Posi/LSD sends power to 1 wheel with the most grip. A locker sends power to both wheels equally.

Good fix. Keep the money in the bank until a complete axle shows up. Maybe one with overdrive for those long runs. MPG will drop now. Not sure about that axle brake pipe. Flapping in the wind. Good job. Got to have wheels when living in the sticks. 👍👍

[@junkyardsearcher6407]

When this axle leaves the chat, toss in an old 12 bolt, or a newer, better, 10 bolt. The only problem with welded spiders is that you end up changing tires more often. They scrub a lot on corners.

[@SquareMax]

@@junkyardsearcher6407 Absolutely buddy. Hope you enjoy your weekend

If I were closer to you… I’ve got a 12 bolt in the back yard from a ‘77 blazer… but dang shipping would be more than the axle is worth 🤣

[@watahyahknow]

only problem with welding the gears is that it gets a lot harder to get the thing a part once you find the right parts then again you probably better off getting a complete axle probably cheaper than getting all the parts for this one if you buy a partstruck , need to check face to face distance on the axle so you know the other one will fit , you ca weld on new spring perches but the width is kinda important heating it up is a good idea as you need less power melting the metal together dont press youre luck with those burnouts the axle ist good but at the moment its working , havig to replace it now will cost yah

[@woodchippers_WestWingDimeBag]

@@SquareMax I can see keeping it as original as possible, it's still looking pretty darn good you should think about buying a small argon bottle. I drug my feet for years and stuck with flux core but the upgrade is worth it. it's not as pricey as it seems because solid wire is much cheaper it offsets the cost of the gas the only down side is working outside in the wind, everything else is better its much cleaner

[@SquareMax]

@@woodchippers_WestWingDimeBag I'll keep that in mind. I probably should invest. Seem to be doing more and more welding. Appreciate it buddy
