The best thing about these OD's is they are 30% Where as the later mustang and S10 stuff is around half that . Still better but not as good as original.

Gary, Thats a steller idea about using a devorced transfer case . Tim

Reds had them at one time . I was going to buy a set for my freind befor he passed away.

I have heated those bolts to red hot then let them cool over night and they came out without twisting or rounding off. Tim

Gary , You said when you get it out on the flats? I rode a bicycle all over the San Juans back in 1999. Other than Lopez I cant recall any flat spots. LOL Tim PS. That photo of the store at Olga brought back many fond memories ,thank you
