  • So, I cut the rear axle out of the abandoned Tri 5 Chevy. I disassembled the axle, cleaned all the parts & painted everything using original factory colors. This 1956 Chevy project car is coming along great.
    Here's some dollies, paint & t-shirts!

    I saw a ‘56 chev on the road today and reminded me I hadn’t seen an update from you in awhile. Then I check in and a new video. Great to see you back at it. The chev will be great when it’s back on the road.

    I love your dry humor and your 56 Chevy keep the video's coming! By the way the real oven cleaner, not the low budget cleaner, works very well to clean the old grease and oil from parts, try it, just a word of advice.

    I agree on the red oxide. I did the same thing with the red oxide primer for 1 of my 55s ,my pumpkin is a 1963 and I found a 1964 posi for it and also a used set of 336 gears. it's not a strong rear end but it fits right in.

    • @freemansgarage
      @freemansgarage  Год назад

      You got a good combo & it works. A posi might be in my cars rear ends future but for now I just want it on the road.

    Have you decided on a power plant yet? It would help in deciding what to do with the rear end!

    you could unbolt the springs on the shocks and install them on new shocks. my 55 had 411 gears because it was overdrive

    • @freemansgarage
      @freemansgarage  Год назад

      I’ll have to do that. Overdrive makes sense.

    • @johnkelly6942
      @johnkelly6942 8 месяцев назад

      I just acquired a 1955 Nomad that was also a factory overdrive car (3-speed manual). The original motor and transmission are long gone. In their place will be a 327, Power Glide and something other than the 4.11 gears that probably still in the rear.

    With the 1955 written on the bottom of the third member, it may have also been an early production 56. A few years ago, I found a website where you can look up your vin to see the exact day it was manufactured. I have an early production 57 that came with a 56 date coded 265 original engine. During the year swap transition, they would grab some of the leftover prior year parts.

    • @freemansgarage
      @freemansgarage  8 месяцев назад

      That does make sense. I couldn't imagine GM back then not using what they have. I'll have to search for that website. Thanks for mentioning it.

    I had a 2dr post in the mid 70s! BBC,bigcam, T400 stall! Posi. Front tires would lift! I know that’s not what you’re looking to do! Maybe a nice 283 stroked would tickle your fancy

    • @freemansgarage
      @freemansgarage  Год назад

      I would love to lift the front tires! But right now, I just want to drive the car. I've got a couple mild 350's sitting around so one of those might find their way in there. Things can be changed over time. I am not building this car once & calling it done. A stroke 283 does sound good.

  • @georgewilson9121
    @georgewilson9121 8 месяцев назад +1

    always check the spider gears especially the two that the axles go into if they are worn replace them or it as when they flop the axle moves around as well and does a number on the axle berrings this can also cause a clunk in rear axle when starting and stopping

    Why didn't you check the gear ratios when you had it apart.(divided pinion gear into the ring gear.?? )

    • @freemansgarage
      @freemansgarage  Год назад

      I could have. I was also going to do it by turning the tire before taking it apart but it slipped my mind. But we do need to confirm what’s in there. Thanks for reminding me.

  • @chrisrichards1339
    @chrisrichards1339 9 месяцев назад +1

    That is a 4:11 tag. They came in different shapes (the tags) and, depending on the shape it represented the particular gear ratio. Your tag is the 4:11 shape.

    The shape of the tag indicates its a 4:11 ratio rear end. Per a google box search, I'm not that smart.....

    • @freemansgarage

      It’s more than likely 4:11 then. Thanks for Google searching.
