Ok, maybe the pics added, I lost everything else. Anyway I made roller carts for all main parts, including body and frame.
As soon as springs dry I will install and hang Dana 44 and add shocks. Once that's done on to over hauling the front.
As previously noted Ii am still looking for one set of spring bushings. I was told that when Jeep went "wide track" on the FC they made a completely
different animal in this Dana 44. In fact these springs are metal to metal bushings, no rubber anywhere. The copper or bronze bushing is 2 1/2 long 1" around.
I have found nothing like that, Gladiator, Wagon, or otherwise.
The other bushing in the spring itself is a metal tube same size just thicker, also metal to metal.
I take a lots of pictures in case I forget how things are assembled. After all I turn 70 in March and the eyes and mind are what they used to be. I did upload a few, not sure if they took
BTY the Ford C4 has been put in the Jeep 4 banger (hurricane) many times. You have to have the manual valve body tranny, but it does do pretty well I am told. The FC is no race rig
for sure but the linkages on the entire thing needs some design work, that's why I am thinking an auto.
My FC has 11" brakes but I will be adding a duel master cyl. and power booster
Any ideas are welcome!
That's all for now.
