My Rear End is Dirty
36 pickup, I don't think it's moved under it's own power for several decades. The gear lube has turned to a thick syrup, and at the bottom it has solidified to the point where I need to use chisel, ice pick, brass brush and loads of aerosol brake cleaner to make any progress.

Re: My Rear End is Dirty
And one of the bells, cleaned and painted and ready to go back in (once I drive in the new axle seal) :

Re: My Rear End is Dirty
Scott, are you putting a '37-'40/'41 rear in your '36 pu? Just wondering since the axel housing shown is not '36.

Re: My Rear End is Dirty
Yeah, good catch. I'm using the entire chassis from a 38 passenger car. It is in so much better shape than the frame and suspension that is currently under my pickup. I'll use the 36 style gas tank so I won't have issues with the filler tube. The passenger car mounting brackets are already off the frame.
