MilesFox Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 it was me, myoss feece, jim wood and alleyboy. we originated from alleyboy's. jim drove his wagon and hauled off the tires and some small stuff. we took the rest, picked up another tranny, the radiator, and stopped by jims on the way home, took on 6 tires, and made our way another 100 miles now i got to figure out where to keep all of this stuff. the sedan and the rx are both loaded down with parts. but now i have everythign to convert the sedan to 4wd minus a shifter and a driveshaft i truly wish we found a scale because we had to be over the GVWR. the tires looked half flat at 36 psi if that tells you anything. but we made almost 200 miles with no problem at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomRhere Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 What shifter, and driveshaft do you need? Got the shifter out of the XT-6 here, got a couple of driveshafts laying around too. Think ones from the 6 also. I know you can stuff a wagon full of parts. Seen that when you picked up all of your stuff from the XT-6. Front seats, front suspension, rear suspension, all 5 tires with rims, did I forget anything? Of course, you didn't have 2 other bodies to get in there too at the time.

Seahag1978 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Ahhh Miles... glad to see you back around... there's a thing in that list above... the radius rod? My '78 Brat can't be reassembled until I get some kind of bushings... the vo-tech teacher called them radius control bushings, the book calls it a leading rod? I have looked everywhere and no one at the parts stores here seem to know what they are... they look a lot like shock tower bushings... Thanks, Mary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 yeah tom, you have seen the likes of my cargo capacity, but i could say that i was TWICE as loaded down than the xt6 haul. i need the driveshaft for a 5spd, actually i have aq rear half so all i really need is the front half. i have both a dual range tranny and a single range tranny. i guess iwould be more interested in a d/r trans for the immediate, and save the s/r tranny for the IOWA sedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahag1978 Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Most of the parts books call them strut rod bushings. I found them! Leading rod bushings are what Haynes calls them. I heard about Lithia Subaru in Oregon through a post by GLCraigGT and called them tonight, they had them on the shelf and they are shipping them tomorrow...

thealleyboy Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Miles: You forgot to mention the set of beauty rims. I wish I had a camera. We had this stuff scattered all over my driveway. It seemed physically impossible. It all fit, and the tailgate even closed all the way!! Glad you guys made it back ok. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
