I just got off the phone with my brother who works at one of the largest salvage yards in Iowa and thier computer shows 2 transfer cases when he enters 1993 oldsmobile bravada.He said it showed a 3.5" output flange version and a 4.25" output flange version.So which one is needed when converting...

or online source so i can see exactly how the front bearing/hub is assembled? I have found i can use the heidts brand mustang II upright/spindle.I'm going to remove the existing spindle pin which is 2" and pressed into the upright.The upright is made of 1045 heat-treated alloy steel.This...

Re: need some measurements,please The bad luck of the day is when i found that ATS had made a replacement spindle for the mustang II front suspension but use the C5 bearing pack.There wasn't enough interest so they didn't market them.It was a real beautiful piece though.It was tailor made for...

Re: first question from a new guy(axles) You make a valid point.Resplining the axles wouldn't be a problem.Do you know what the total length of the shaft in an axle is?I plan on using all stock suspension mounting points.If i feel the angles would to severe my second option would be just to...

I'm hoping to find the dimensions/specs/measurements what ever they may be called in your area.I'm custom building a frame for an off topic car out of 2x4 rectangular stock.I would like all the measurements for the front suspension attaching points.I plan to dig a 4x4 frame out of a salvage yard...
