                                         Saginaw 4 speed transmission June 29th 1974

                                                       R=Saginaw

                                                       4=1974

                                                       H-June

                                                       29=29th

                                            I can't decipher this number, it has been ground off.

         I'm looking for the side support bracket that goes from the shifter to the back of the gear box

         on my Saginaw. If you know of where there might be one or have any leads for me please

         email at idaho1890@hotmail.com Thanks Don

New front and rear sway bars from Summit to help your launch, stronger durablility with reduced  body roll by tighting up the suspension when cornering. Both front and back are 4140 solid chromemoly spring steel. Front 1 & 5/16" diameter and the rear is 1" and both have a gray wrinkle powdercoated finish with polyurethane bushings and mounting hardware. $100 cheaper than the Hotchkis set.

               Thought I'd try out this new Eaton torque Posi trac limited slip from Summit  in my 10 bolt

               3.08:1 differential. Part #19603-010

                                                                             New differential cover from Summit.

I now have a stock standard 12:37 which is a 3.08:1 gear ratio and I plan on changing possibly to a Richmond ring & pinion set 11:39=3.55:1 gear ratio

                                                         Spider gears from the 3.08:1 differential.

I had to take out the C clip on the 28 spline axel inside the differntial to get my rear brake drum off. The pinion gear seal had leaked over the years and the differntial gear lube ran low. So in turn the axels got a little hot and semi welded them selfs to the drum. I will have to heat it up with a torch and knock it loose.

                                Front yoke with new U-Jiont and rear axel & pinion gear seals

              Rear differential casting number for a 10 bolt and manufacter code date. CA 0518  W 

                                      CA=3.08:1 gear ratio, 0518=May 18th, W=Warren, MI

                                                  I will convert to disc brakes in the future

                  Front brake drrums turned & are temorary until I can afford disc brake conversion.

                      Packing the front wheel hub and bearings with high temp lithuim grease

                                           Pushing the grease into the wheel hub bearing

                                                    Tapping in the front hub bearing seal

           Putting front wheel hub on the spindle, and assembling the brake cylinder and brake shoes
