Default Re: windshield glass

I agree With bigblockv6. These old t cases cant handle the torque or highspeed high load for very long. The bearings dont seem to oil properly. It really is the only full size gear drive t case I have consistently seen self destruct. Use a 205, The dodge ones are good if you change the yokes to the u bolt spicer ones. Or you can find the divorced 205 with the good yokes in fullsized International trucks. BTW I destroyed a nos 221 in a 67 chevy with a 454 in 2 months. Granted it was a front and rear lockered beast with 36 inch tires and about 550 ft lbs of torque. The greasy 205 that went in its place never did fail even though that truck had a habit of twisting 14 bolt axle shafts until they would break.
