Sweet Comanche! Wish youda spent more time on that front diff. Been around trucks for almost 50 years n seent just about everything under the sun. Aint never seent that!
It’s a unique beast, for sure. I did a follow up video on that differential configuration and hope to do a tear down video on that front differential in the next few weeks. Thanks for noticing the Comanche! That’s ‘Papa Smurf’, and started life in my garage as a two wheel drive. Thanks for watching!
Its an old skool trick. Take 3 ford 9 inch axles. Machine rear cover off first one and drill and tap holes for bolting a drop in to it. Take second drop in, remove ring gear and carrier and machine bearing mount off so only the pinion is left. Mount this cover so the pinion drives off the backside of front differential ring gear. Take third axle and turn it over so it spins in the right direction. Look at the rear axle on this truck, its an upside down ford 9 inch. Edit. Axles were usually mounted on I beams and set up as a Hendrickson type suspension. The "rear" cover on the front axle is also upside down.
Great feedback, thank you! One of the things I'm enjoying about doing these videos is the knowledge I get to glean from viewers like you. Thanks for watching!
I've seen so many things done to vehicle's in the 60s years I've been working around vehicle's but I've never seen a rearend done like that before..I'm old school and I think I'd be more interested in putting the truck back to the way it's supposed to be cause it's not in to bad shape for the year of it..I don't see an old truck with moss growing on it. I see a beautiful pickemup truck from the early 60s that would look so good being put back to it's former glory. I wouldn't care about making it all shiney and whatnot, I'd be happy with it running and driving again..Nice find cause in my area it's impossible to find anything like that cause when junk prices were waaaaay up, everything went to the scrap yard and most of em was drove to the scales lol..I even tried to buy a running driving truck that was in much better shape than the truck myself and a friend was using lol 😂..Those were strong engines and I don't know why they quit making them cause seemed like they'd last forever as long as everything was kept up with em..I'm still amazed with how they done those rear-ends cause seems like anything was possible with the old school vehicle's especially trucks lol..I'm pretty sure that you most definitely have one of it's kind...
We are definitely on the same page about seeing more than the rust. My problem is I want to save them all! 😂 Thanks for weighing in, and thanks for watching!
I’m having a spaghetti feed next week to raise funds! 😂 I’m kidding, but there’s my hold up. Funds. I think I’ll sit on this old girl awhile and see what develops. Thanks for weighing in, and thanks for watching!
I would turn it into a mini semi, how I would do that is: lift it 2in only to put bigger tires on it, upgrade the rear end to a 2500hd/3500hd leafspring set, v8 or diesel swap it, add an on engine air compressor, ad a resavor tank, put helper bags on the rear, shorten the frame, put a headache rack and a pickup fifth wheel on it.
Thanks, Thomas! This has a potential to be a fun project, but I’ll be focusing my real efforts on Stanley, the 62 service truck before Mildred has time on my dance card… Thanks for watching!
My 62 gimmic short stepside has a stock 6.0 and 4L80E in it with the stock 06 computer running it all. Best thing I ever did putting that Ls in it. The body is ok, looks like the tandam truck but a LOT more surface rust.
Back in the fifties, late fifties, they made a lot of the dana rear ends with a removeable pot and a diff cover on the back... whats bad about this system is and I learned the hard way.... being a kid then did this also... I was going to build me a one ton with this set up. I did not like the half ton rears but take what you find. Flipping that back rear end and also hooking up a diff drive is not a faint of heart job. I didn't know they had a certain orientation so the bearing all got lubrication. Had I know, there are ways of hooking a oiler up so everything does get oil and its not hard or expensive. My folks had a one ton four wheel drive truck parked up because of a accident. They sold it to me and I did all the converting of it to tandem drive. In those days we had access to a lot of rear ends and so every month meant a new back drive assembly.
Most of my best learned lessons have been from doing things the wrong way! That’s great info about bearing lubrication. I’m considering pulling the front differential and doing a tear down video. My curious mind has me looking for another ‘lesson’. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for watching!
@@PardeeShopShenanigans After you do a little reading and take one apart, its going to be self explanatory.... they make kits to adapt a oiling system for this kind of thing
Forward mounted distributor (230/250/292 vs older center mounted distributor on 235/261) and coil springs (no torsion bars) with that cab/windshield say 1963.
No worries. Too bad someone already grabbed the grille. If you’re like me, I’d have that to reference the year since it’s always staring me in the face. I love these trucks, with the 60-61 being my favorite. Good styling, simple, and each year a little different than the previous. Even the unique differences between Chevy and GMC (love that big V6). I’m curious to see how that middle axle is built, what it was originally made for and such. Nice score!
@tracydoane4261 , it still has a stock 235 six cylinder and a granny four-speed transmission along with a 4:11 positrac rear axle. I grew up with the truck and learned how to drive a standard transmission in it. I talked my dad out of it in 1985 and have had it since then. It has well over a million miles on it, and even though it's beat up and raggedy, I wouldn't trade it for a dozen new trucks. And no, it's not for sale at any price. I hope you can eventually find one if that's what you're looking for, but like your 66 4x4, they're as rare as hens teeth.
I understand & 100% respect your point of view. Replacement is impossible. I only have $10.000 invested in mine & even Double that amount could not replace it. New school offers nothing. Respect to you & yours@@jerrybrooks870
If you aren't going to do anything with it, let somebody buy it who will. Don't strip anything from it. Would make a great rat rod. Also, reach inside where the window is partially down and try to open it from the inside.,
Good catch on the engine, you are spot on. The rear diff is missing the short axle, but I did a follow up video that I posted yesterday with more details. Thanks for watching!
I think it is fixable pull the front axel forward six inches and the back backwards till the springs are level to the frame I'd set it up on a duel axel trailer type set up with a flex mount between the two axels get rid of the hanging ng down frame chunks
That would be an excellent fix if I was motivated to invest the time and money into this. The cab is far enough gone, I think it’s all just going to become Parts for Stanley. Thank you for commenting, and thanks for watching!
I did get it free. Next step there is to see if the starter will turn it over to see if there is any compression. That will tell me whether it has a future or not. Thanks for watching!
I would love to do just that, but after some deeper inspections that would be an expensive endeavor. I'll put out another video shortly with more info.. Thanks for watching!
Not really sure what you are implying, but my sharing what I do here is all for fun and I enjoy the great feedback from folks much more experienced than me. Thanks for watching!
@@PardeeShopShenanigans Can you elaborate on identifying those axles ? Edit: what a the lift and tire on the Comanche? I have an 88 I'm reviving. Yours is niiiice.

Its obviously a home built tandem.
I would like to see more updated info on the rear diffs ,especialy the front diff
I'm doing a little digging on these... stay tuned, and thanks for watching!

Turns out I'm making a big move from Oregon to Arizona. I'm 'gifting' Mildred to a friend of mine here in Oregon. @@danielkingery2894
That is a sharp looking Jeep truck. Tastefully done and neat.
Thanks! That started out as a 2 wheel drive. Love the silly thing for it's simplicity... Thanks for watching!
@@PardeeShopShenanigans i was gonna mention that Jeep too...its SHARP w/that topper on it

That's a cool truck. Fix it just as is. If you don't want it for a project let me know. Please don't part it out. It's just to cool.

I grew up in the Puyallup Washington area and I lived around the corner from a guy that had similar truck.

Front diff looks like a second center had carrier removed to make a through drive with pinion runing on backside of ring gear
7:31 Fuel pump in the middle & distributor in the front, I think that's a 292. Was the rear diff hooked up to drive?
Good catch on the engine, you are spot on. The rear diff is missing the short axle, but I did a follow up video that I posted yesterday with more details. Thanks for watching!
With the availability of used parts I would fix what a nice project, even throw in another axle plus front wheel drive.
The problem is, I have too many projects and not enough bank to go around. Thanks for participating and thanks for watching!
I think it is fixable pull the front axel forward six inches and the back backwards till the springs are level to the frame I'd set it up on a duel axel trailer type set up with a flex mount between the two axels get rid of the hanging ng down frame chunks

Who made the differential! Could you please send some close ups of the differential please
I believe these are Eaton H032. Check out the next video, I was able to be a little more in depth? Thanks for watching!
That’s a 292 Six. ✔️👍
Do you know the make and model # of the differentials?
9 inch ford axles. Look at my other post here.
That. 292 should have good core value if you can get it free.
I did get it free. Next step there is to see if the starter will turn it over to see if there is any compression. That will tell me whether it has a future or not. Thanks for watching!
