ratsun73 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 i need to find some sheet metal for floor repairs, any ideas? Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 not sure if i really like the red frame. might just paint it black what do you guys think? Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 That's primer. The frame when completed was shot gloss black. 14-16ga sheet for floors Interesting idea, pushing back the radiator. I'm running a direct drive fan for max cooling and simplicity. But I like you're idea. I may have a window regulator for the passenger side. I will look for it and get back to you.

ratsun73 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS. :hyper: thanks again boxcar,the guy who i bought it from sold the tires and radiator :sneaky: but my neighbor was nice enough to loan me the 33's of his truck and the bolt pattern fit! :D cant wait to start getting all the parts i need, i think the previous owner put a 2 to 4 inch lift on this because the shocks are not stock, it also has a glass pack :devil: and Grant stereing wheel.

]2eDeYe Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 If those are 33"s then it definitely has a bit of lift. Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I agree. It's been lifted a bit. When you are all done, sell the grill and remaining parts. You should turn a profit. By the way. Was it a tree that killed that Jeep? Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 no the snow that built up on the top from sitting on top of snohomish pass spelled the end of it. i just did some more work on it and found a motorcraft aluminum carb an some air horns! how much will a unbroken jeep grill go for?

Boxcar Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 That one in good shape ---- $100 low -$200 high..... Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 has 1 small crack but otherwise it is really good. there are two lines that lead to the transmission and they are both cut. what do these go to, also do you happen to have a radiator that would fit the jeep so i can start it?

]2eDeYe Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 The two lines are likely transmission cooler lines, they will run from the rad to the trans. You should be able to run it without a radiator, just don't keep it running more than 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 can i run it without a trans cooler? Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Yes. Join the 2 lines with a hose so they recirculate. Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 ok how does the quadratic work? in has a lever next to the seat and a switch in the glove box. Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 If that jeep is a quadratrack you are still going to need a T-case. The quadratrack is a chain driven beast. Floor shift is 2 and 4 wheel . The lever in the box is low range. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Sounds like someone made it a part time case at least. It should work for you until you can find a better case. Do you know what transmission is there? If it's the TH400 you have a few options for t-cases. Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 how do i find out what trans it has and how do i id the front axle? i don't know if the t case is stock. Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Front axle is a Dana 44 if it has disc brakes. You can tell what transmission you have by the pan pattern. http://www.jeeptech.com/trans/ That is a good place to get id info. There is quite a bit of other tech on that page that will benefit you as well. :) Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Load pics of the axle cover / and the tranny pan. Quote Link to comment
ratsun73 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 it has dana 44 front and the trans is a th 400 i will post picts to confirm. Quote Link to comment
