65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build
I cut off another 3/8 of an inch of the driver's side housing, and it is now flush with the main body of the differential. Given that it was a clearance fit, I did not want to waste the parts I had. I drilled and tapped some 1/4-20 holes that went partially into the collar. Installing some set...- 65Corvair

65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build
Here are the prints for bearing/seal collars. Overall, the collars work pretty good, the driver's side OD is a few thousand's too small, so it ended up being a clearance fit instead of a press fit when installing into the main diff housing. The bearing and seal sizes work well, I was able to...- 65Corvair

65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build
My parts were machined. On the left will be used on the driver's side, the right will be for the passenger's side to fit in the axle tube. Now that I have the parts in hand, I can do the finish work on the housing to get the distance between the machined part and the differential carrier...- 65Corvair

Front wheel drive
As others have stated, keep driving to a minimum if possible. Most damage for differentials comes for the lack of lubrication. Given that the front diff isn't design to solely propel the vehicle, do not go on a long highway trip that would overheat the oil and then cause damage.- 65Corvair

65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build
I found a local shop that would make the bearing and seal mounting flanges for the CV shafts. He said he will do it when he has time, but this is low priority for his business. I will update the thread once I have the parts.- 65Corvair

I too love the uni-strut roof rack. Its very modular and you can easily move the cross bars to where they are needed.- 65Corvair

Rack and pinion up grades
Tacomas share the same M16 size tie rod outer threading. I saw a Facebook post with someone using these, but I am unable to find it again. https://warfabarmor.com/products/tacoma-tie-rod-sleeves?_pos=2&_sid=63e60391a&_ss=r Doing some googling, it looks like Broncos also use a M16 outer tie rod...- 65Corvair

JBA Upper Control Arm Aftermarket Bushings/ Ball Joints ?
The replacement ball joints are K6292 (Moog Part Number) I would assume JBA used "stock" front upper control arm bushings. K7390 (Moog Part Number) -
65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build
I did a rough fit-up with the steel diff housing. Even with the high pinion it looks like it will fit. For the CV pinion yoke, I purchased a used Dana 30 CV yoke (99-04 Grand Cherokee) from eBay to reuse the current driveshaft. (The axle originally had a traditional U-joint pinion yoke) Pinion...- 65Corvair

65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build
The original vent connection had been broken off at some point during this differential's life, but a 1/8 NPT tap and a fitting works well to fix it. I had the new bearing/seal mounting area 3D printed to try out for an evaluation. Overall, it works really well, but I need to get the side of...- 65Corvair

65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build
I ordered the front mounting plate from sendcutsend.com on 1/2 inch steel. The part fits pretty good, but small improvements could be made for the next revision. (if there is one) And with the cover on. Hopefully this weekend I will have time to remove the front differential and try to fit the...- 65Corvair
