It nice to have the tools to do this.
Have you considered welding on the 9in ford outer bearing axle housing from Moser ?

No not for this one.
Yes having the right tools are key.

^ Me too. Actually I set up my shop equipment for it. That was the first time he used my Multimatic 200. He was at max amp @150. He didn't learn it was a lift Arc, till after he started, lol.

He is going to weld in the rear upper adjustable, control arm, bracket.

Those are awesome welds, no pigeon shit there.
Is that you in the avatar?

Did he preheat with oxy/acetylene? What does your weldor use for equipment? I'm not familiar with the filler specified. Can you get what settings, tungsten type n size, filler size he used and post?
That guy is very good looking at the finished dimes.

Yes, Preheat Oxy/ace with #4 rosebud. He was careful with the preheat. I saw YouTube videos where they use propane. Probably works fine but the rosebud was the business. He used my Miller Multimatic 200. Pegs at 150 ramps. He would have preferred using his welder and running at 160 ramps. I wanted to use my shop because the cool down is 9 hours and I didn't want to tie his shop up. He would have preheated less if he had the extra ramps. He's a pro worked it out. I bought the filler from McMaster Carr. Got 14 each, 3 Foot Lengths, 3/32". Enough for 7 rears, 1 stick per axle.

It was the smallest amount you could buy. think $88 plus shipping

Right side off 8th. I'll make a jig and straighten.

Sorry for the dumb question. What makes it off an 8th? Because the axle tube is off or something inside? I’ve never worked on an axle before

You want alignment from the carrier housing bearing journals to the axle ends. When you weld the axle tube to the carrier housing the heat may warp the tube and upset this alignment.
You can see the 1.5" alignment bar strapped into the bearing journal. Now from the axle end a alignment puck should slide down the shift and right into the housing end, where the bearings normally reside. my one side the puck wasn't centered. Mittler Bros, machine and tool sells the bars and pucks. Some buy the 1.5" bar from McMaster Carr and use the Mittler pucks.
I doubt we warped it, and think the misalignment was existing. Regardless we'll make it perfect.

Done, last pic shows how much it was off. Have a vid of it sliding right in, but site doesn't like the mp3 extension
