Yeah Last summer I kind of hurt my 82rc at Silver Lake, I don't want the same thing to happen to this one. I don't know if this will help, but it certainly is stronger than before at the yokes.
Look at the pics of the 82, you can see the tires are pointing awayfrom each other, and tilted inward at the top.
I hope this helps.

Well I noticed that the drivers side rear sat about 1" lower than the passenger side. after a closer look this is what I found. a cracked leaf. (pic 1&2)
I took the springs to a local spring shop the guy said he could just replace the broken leafs.
He also said that it looks like someone added the leaf that was cracked(pic 3). It just didn't look original.
But he said that back then the auto manufactures would change spring configurations on vehicles from year to year, and mid year a lot.
So he put a new leaf in both sides and only charged me $100.00

One box arrived last night & I haven't dug into it yet. Thanks again for sending them back so I can compare them with other years. Good thing you found the cracked spring now in stead of after the RC was done.
I love the silver hangers on the black frame!!!!!
Thanks, Jim

Yeah I thought that $100.00 was a lot better than new springs
OK here some more pics of the progress.
In the third pic is the yoke for the front axle. I noticed that the washer for the nut is tapered. how does that work?
Also I read in the manual that I was supposed to record the torque value before I removed the nut which I didn't. So what torque do you guys think I should set it at.
Final pic is of an RC that I saw last summer at Silver Lake. Kind of the look I am going for. a "Stock" look.

I am assembling the front axle, and I don't know what to torque the yoke nut to.
Also the washer for the nut is tapered like a ski slope when viewed from the edge. How does that work?
I am installing the rear seals for the hubs, and I don't know how far to install them. See pic of rear of housing. Do I make them flush with the rear of the housing.
It has been about 12 years since I have done an early RC axle so my memory is kind of foggy.
Also When I assemble the hub do I assemble like the final picture and install it all at once? Or do I install the cone into the knuckle first?

I've never seen a tapered yoke washer before. I wonder if some one didn't change it out before with a non OEM style.

The torque spec for a D44 pinion yoke out of my 1988 FSM is 200-220 Ft Lbs. I don't think I would re use that washer. I would also use a Loctite on the threads when you put the nut back on.

OK more progress. I have been painting small parts for a couple of weeks, and I finally got to the point where i can start assembling.
These pics are of the front axle going together. It has been soo long since I did one of these I had to make a couple of attempts, but in the end everything went together.

Had a problem with the drag link hitting the reinforcement bracket on the axle. Had to modify the bracket so the drag link could swing.

OK I bought some pre-bent stainless lines from Inline Tube. They didn't have a listing for the 74 RC. So I bought a 79 RC kit. So far only a couple of small problems. The lines from the master cylinder to the proportioning valve are routed different. My 74 has a bracket that bolts to the frame that the lines snapped into. The 79 doesn't.
Also one of the flare nuts that go into the Proportioning valve was the wrong size. I had to grind the flare off switch nuts and re-flare the tube. No big deal.
I started to clean the fuel tank, and i need the filler tube grommet. Does anybody know where to get these?

I going to take a stab in the dark but I think one from a ram van is the same dodge should still sell them being vans were still being made not long ago. Dodge is good for reusing parts in later models measure it up and try it. Its worth the look any way. Also try looking at other mopars because if Chrysler used it on one vehicle I bet they used it on others maybe a b-body or some thing and year one and other company's remake parts for them. I find a lot of stuff for my trucks from other mopars over the years. I am like a walking truck interchange book. if this works it will be another page for my book. good luck

I would try to get some specs from them to see if it will fit. Always best to research first then buy then install Try a company called B.E&A.com they are from my neck of the woods and they re-pop parts for a lot of bigger company's

Thanks guys. I found a grommet that may work. There are a lot of guys restoring the Little Red Wagons, which means there are a lot of repro parts for them. I did a search for Little Red Wagon Parts and found this http://www.jimsautoparts.com/nos_truck_parts.htmHe has one for dodge pickup of the same year, and thi picture looks close. The nice weather is here and that is only making me work harder to get it done for summer. |

OK, I had the gas tank blasted and there were quite a few holes that popped through.
I decided to repair the gas tank with epoxy.
The epoxy comes in tubes with a mixer on the end. all you have to do is squeeze the gun and it proportions the amount properly.
Once I laid the epoxy out I used a bondo spreader to spread the epoxy.
the pictures also show the plugs I made for the tank when it was blasted.

I've used it on a motorcycle once. It works good
The inside od the tank looks pretty clean, I spread the epoxy pretty hard, and it forced it into the holes. I think that will do.

yes Jim, We use it to repair housings, and to protect from abrasive wear, and chemical attack. It is great stuff. There are some pictures of it on my website www.pro-pump.com |

OK I got the shocks installed.
The shocks came with bushings but no washers, so I had to make my own.
I used zinc coated washers and pressed a bearing into them to give them a cup.
Next I had to trim the larger washers so they cleared the shock.

Here is my version of a dual setup for the front. I just extended the top and bottom mounts to add another shock.
I put the hole for the lower mount too close to the axle, but all I did was trim the spring bracket.
I will need to trim the inner fender, but not much.

The rear dual setup
Does anybody have a picture of a 440 with A/C. I took the ac unit off of the 318, and the brackets are wrong. I need to see if I have the correct pulleys, and I need to see how it is mounted.
Also I ran my fuel lines, and bought a new fuel pump. the pump only has 2 ports, same as the old one. Where does the return fuel line connect. it was not connected on either truck I have. If anybody has a picture of how the fuel lines connect from the frame to the engine it would help.
One more thing. Does anyone know where I can find new e-brake cables. I bought my fuel and brake lines from inline tube, but they have no pattern for this era rc. They want the old ones for a sample. Unfortunately mine are hacked up.

Well, I don't have the correct crank pulley for a/c. does anyone have any parts from an A/C 440. I know I need the crank pulley (4 groove), maybe the water pump pulley. and I need the mounting brackets for the compressor.
Bouchillon has a kit for the 440 but it is quite salty.

Just to satisfy my curiosity, why did you go with the dual shock setups fore and aft?

Well RVA, We go to Silver Lake Michigan, and there are times when the sand has a lot of mougals (my kids call them woopdi doos). When driving over these the truck really gets bouncin' I was hoping to settle this down a bit.

looking good. I go to NAPA for the harder to find dodge parts. If they don't have them they can get them. I would check moparts.com to find the A/C stuff you need 440 truck should be the same as 440 car as far as the brackets go. I like the duel shock set up sweet. On my dodge trucks I have a fuel filter that has 3 ports one inlet one out-let and the third is for the return line it should be 5/16 line. The nipple will stick out from the side and run back to the tank sender. If memory serves me right. Hope this helps.
like I said looking good. I like the silver parts on a black frame.
