Windigo build thread

Got another piece of the puzzle today.

 

I decided to make a place for some sort of mount on the Dana 300. It's kinda heavy to be bouncing around on back there on its own. The plastic tube is there because I ran this flipped years ago. Has to be removed. it's actually the bottom not the top when running a passenger side axle.

 

When’s the truck getting cut up?

 

As soon as the Eco crawler arrives and I can get all the parts swapped into it. So your guess is as good as mine.

 

Going to be slick. Will be worth the wait

 

Thanks.

 

I had to change the yolk on the Dana 60 from Toyota flange to 1330. The Toyota flange I would have loved to keep but it's the smallest Toyota bolt pattern. Which was okay with my 4-cylinder Runner but maybe not okay with this truck.
Also I have a CV drive shaft 1310 on the transfer case side and 1330 for the front diff side. so perfect.
I doubt if it will be the correct length but it's a start

 

Spent the afternoon cleaning up this master cylinder. Was it worth the effort? Not even knowing if it works. We'll see. Well the last time I used it probably 8 years ago it did work so maybe it still works.

 

Is that a gm master?

 

Yes. It's a GM 1 ton master cylinder from a 70s truck. Well thats what the parts place said at the time

 

Nice. Adapting it to the stock booster or going to run a tundra booster?

 

Yes going that route. If you have a good place to get one do tell. Thinking of just going the junk yard route with tundra booster. Thanks

 

I have been trying to figure that out as well. New ones are crazy pricey.

 

Got my 1350 14 bolt yoke today. Removed the Toyota one and made up some.hard lines for the front.

 

Damn dude I’m getting excited to see this thing come together.

 

Gonna be cool to see it out in the spring!

 

Well realistically June July ish.

 

Lots more to do... Thanks.

 

This adapter is on sale at princess so why not.
Had to modify my jack a bit and the adapter cut the stubb off and supply hardware. Now there is no rotation which is ok by me because it's solidly bolted to the jack.Hopefully it will be of some use.

 

Will be helpful to get the Dana 300 up and in.
