After a few hard launches the damage was done. Rear differential comes out gets cleaned up and new perches new paint and new hardware.

I can watch this man work for hours. Deliberate, considered, experienced - a good wrench man thinks and plans in advance constantly. Much can be learned by observing Lucky's work methods themselves.

I built a '69 Mustang Coupe over the last 3 years and mechanically it's almost a twin to the Disgustang. 408w, efi, AFR heads, air gap intake, TKO 600 trans and a 3.70 Trutrac out back with mid eye 5 leaf springs. Even the same tires because they're almost as good as the BFGs but half the price, so you don't cry when they turn to smoke. It all makes me think I *almost* know what I'm doing!

Ahhhh, the air hammer... years ago I was a Ford mechanic for a short time at a big dealership that had a large shop where customers drove in and talked to the service writers inside the shop. I was on the far end of the shop, and across from me worked Max the suspension guy, who had an air hammer fetish; he used it on E V E R Y T H I N G - even stuff that a normal hammer would easily break loose. So the tune-up guys, who worked right up by the service writers, had a spare metal workbench and every day they would get out an air hammer with a blunt bit, and every time Max fired up his air hammer, one of them would run over and start hammering that steel workbench, and holy shit was that loud - and every time a chorus of "MAX! MAX! KNOCK THAT SHIT OFF!" would come rolling in from the service desk. That table looked like a sink bowl from so much hammering. And Max never figured out what was going on because he couldn't hear their hammer. So many adult sized children in that business...

Went through the exact same thing 35 years ago on a '65 Falcon. We figured out the issue was not the lowering blocks but spring wrap. My brother & I wound up plating in the open parts of the spring perches to create a box and that cured the problem

Yep, up here in the rust belt I just changed the shackles on my 20 year old truck. Cutting torch, death wheel and lots of swearing. Lucky puts a little WD on it and taps the bolts out. And that thing is way older.
@waynep3433 жыл бұрын
Lucky.. about 25 years ago.. the owner of Hollywood spring and axle told me a secret.. stuck spring eye inner sleeves. tighten the nut so the shackles or exterior brackets grip the inner sleeve and loosen the bolt. this busts the rust bond loose . you may have to tighten the nut 3 or 4 times. but it saved me hours of frustration over the past few decades.

Lucky, media blast the diff housing and spray hot vinegar on it via a garden sprayer. The next step is to rinse , dry, and repeat if needed. Grab a rattle can of matte clear, and put a cherry on top. Yah, it's weird, but try it on a scrap iron housing some time. The other cool effect is to flame it with a torch (it takes practice) and clear after you get the color case hardening visual. Yes, this is only for rusty mods approach to your favorite beater.

1. The best idea would be to not use any lowering blocks at all, think of it as adding extra leverage during axle wrap. 2. This type of suspension system was not designed for anything north of 200-300hp.
