I used black beauty blasting media and steel balls to clean mine out. Set them up in a lathe and Bridgeport to get them to tumble all around inside. Afterwards used the POR15 product to line them. No problems so far in the last 3 years.
Did come out with red looking primer dust and some small...
Crazy story thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity, did the replacement go successfully otherwise?
I have seen guys changing out CB under power at work, using all safety precautions and everything went OK. I am always nervous working on things like that which are live but sometimes it needs to...
This might work and is not crazy money. Bought one for work and the thing is amazing.

Smallest die set for 1" tubing is 3" Center Line Radius - maybe that is small enough.

Should be able to wire brush around the four studs on top of it. Blow it out and get some penetrating oil on it. Give it a few good whacks with a big hammer near the end there and it should come free. Nothing else holding it down. Just those four nuts you already have off.
If you enjoy working on things like this and can afford the time and money for parts you might be OK. I would go in lower than $3000.00.
Expect to replace all the pinion seals, wheel cylinders, brake lines, tires, axle seals, filters and clean out the fuel tank. Also two batteries. Maybe some...

Couple years back I bought the entire turbo upgrade system from Eastern. Went together perfect and I have all the other parts if I need them later.
I cut the top pipe down and added a flapper to hopefully reduce the rust problem at the bottom of the J going forward. I have the new upper pipe as...
I don't think you will save much on tire wear honestly. I have read mostly of people desplining the hubs on the front and rear axle. Some say that it is easy to get stuck even on wet grass if you are running that way. Others use a locking hub on one side rear only to help it turn a bit better. I...
Maybe with the tool you could use a C clamp and a steel block in the channel over the rivet head. The Tools are long but you might cut one down. It would be hokey but doable. Squeeze the rivet down with the c-clamp and it would make the channel tight to the door. Maybe machine a round bar with...
