Good work. Great practice panel. It doesn't matter how you get there as long as you get there. With a heavy fender like this I would think that more time yields perfection and zero need for filler. I'm no expert, I think I would have a small torch handy to warm the metal. Are you familiar with using a guide coat? Can I assume that Pennsville is in Pa?

That's crazy I got that same toolbox so in 1986 I believe my dad bought it from Walmart and then he went to Sears and Packed it full of Craftsman tools. I still got the Craftsman tools and tool box! That's an awesome story! Just found your channel! So that's one thing I love about TH-cam I'm always finding new people to watch. Looks like you got some great projects I'll try to get caught up watching some of your videos this weekend keep up the great work!! And I'm a new Subscriber!!

Great story and great find. I think we all have a similar one but yours is awesome cause you are procuring the mans legacy through his inspiration and now his tools as well and that's really cool 👍👍👍

I'm here for trannies. 😢 disappointed 😢

Was that the 3/8 Pittsburgh? The bottom of the range on that one is 5 ft. Lbs and up to 80. On the click type you really need to avoid the ends of the range like the plague and you were not even 18% into the range. I bet you had it more than 18 just from the normal ratchet, so it blew past the click. Yeah, learning experience for sure.....

Good job, them tail shaft seals fit really tight and that's a good tool you made for it 👍

If you should ever find yourself doing one of these again one thing I started doing was to put the input shaft on the end of the main shaft ,with the bearing off of it, and sliding the whole thing through the main case. Then once the tail housing bolts are snug tap the bearing down onto the input shaft.

Thank you for putting up your video.

I have a few of those A833’s. 2 of them are old, but they don’t leak & they shift smoothly, so I won’t mess with those, at least not right now. The other two are identical early 6 cylinder models, what attracted me to these were the lower price & they have fixed yoke, no slip yoke, basically a factory slip yoke eliminator, so it won’t leak oil when I pull the drive shaft. Brewers performance probably has everything we need to really beef up these old 833’s 👍😎

That doesn't look like a very torque critical joint so I wouldn't even use a torque wrench for that, just by feel.

Harbour Freight or even SnapOn will take up to a day to relax if you leave it set in the upper register of the scale. There are reasons why many in the automotive industry are changing to digital torque wrenches. Either get a digital wrench or invest in a twin beam if you are religiously anti-battery. You also might want to use tremendously less ultra grey on the hardware. you can use a single dob in the early portion of the threads and it will draw up the threads as you seat the bolt. That will seal the hole just fine. On the gaskets you can pinch a dob between your fingers and then apply that to both sides in a thin film to seal any minor imperfections of the gasket and to create a barrier to fluids. Hope that helps you a bit in future projects.

Nice job Matt 👍👍👍

I support stupid fast junk oh yeah so much awesome

Those Harbor Freight torque wrenches are bad news..I had an inch pound version do the same thing to me on a plastic intake manifold.

That's what super glue is for. Maybe JB Weld. Hell, even some structural gorilla tape would do.

I’ve had a few front bearing retainers where the tubular part has cracked along the axis of the shaft, and one snapped clean off at the shoulder. They were just parts I found, I don’t know how it happened. I needed one for the 66-67 Hemi trans for years, before I found an old well used one. Now all I need is the throwout bearing housing that matches it, 66-69 only, and very hard to find.

What racket unless you bend the steering arm it's going to bind bolt the box to a plate and weld the plate to the frame let the swivel knuckles take care of alignment to the column

Use some assatone will take that shit off

I came to see a car. I left early because of the horrible noise.

Great (relatively) rust free truck! Mine was way worse! Whoever did the modifications to the bumper and fenders did a great job! Would love to hear the story of where and how it was used! I’ve got a bunch of vids on my channel of my build, I hope I can help out!

Nice , I love making tools ad benches 👍👍

Love the gantry crane. Good times.👍

Been there myself. Tough Ole beauty's. Your getting there. TGP

Good buy at the flea market grinder. Painting the floor at your mount is in excellent idea. thank you for teaching me that. I noticed the ground cord was kind of close to your bearing race for your axle.. I hope the ground didn’t arc and pit the surface. The microphone is good. I liked it. I was amused. It was kind of like I was chilling at the shop with you working, which is what I tried to emulate. NICE 👍

🙌

I like those tow hooks you pulled off. Very good.

SWEET. Good video man!

Could you turn the iPhone sideways next time?

🙌

NICE SETUP👍

Absolutely love your 300!!!

The renovation looks good. Good plan. I think you will get lucky with straightening out the front frame rail extensions.🤞

So cool. I love it! Definitely on my list of trucks to one day have. Thanks for sharing it. Can’t wait to see more.

It reeks of toughness! I’m rebuilding a ‘67 W200 as we speak. I can’t wait until it’s on the road. Best of luck with the restoration! I forgot to mention that I subbed!

What a great find. And, on the surface, in pretty good condition. Glad to see this one has found someone that will breathe new life into old iron. New sub, along for the ride.

That’s right, keep givin her. Always learning and having fun 👍👍👍

Flipping the raer end up side down , would have been interesting, to say the least

NICE!

Thanks for subscribing to our channel. We returned the favor, Good Video. Back in the day I welded body pannells with a acytlene torch and coat hangers. I like our wire welder.

Old beast transformation

It never hurts to wipe down your parts and welding wire with a clean cotton rag and acetone. Any oils can contaminate your welds.

I would not clean if I was using the MIG, but if I was going to TIG it then I would clean with acetone for sure. When doing critical welds on thin sheet steel using my HF start TIG, I have pre-flow set to 0.5 seconds, and post-flow set to 1 second, as this both protects and cools the weld area to avoid distortion. Also when cutting or grinding away unwanted material, I'd still be cooling every 5 seconds with compressed air and/or a cool rag to avoid distorting the panel

A mig/mag device is used for these needs, not a tig. You have big distortions and overheating of the material.

Right on, practices, everything

O joy

Might have to get a different steering box set up. Vega is very popular

Relocate Radiator to back or angle it.

Electric water pump

E fan?

I love the gantry crane. They are fun. Are you using the mig welder as fluxcore?
