Thanks Guys!! I just crawled under it, in the rain, and confirmed that it is a D-35 and from what it has on the tag I assume it has 3.08 gears and the front axle tag has 3.07. The page from nhscrambler is already saved in my computer for future use!! Rich (winger)

Can anybody tell me the particulars on the stock front & rear axles that are in my '88 manche?? It is a SWB 4.0L 4X4 5 speed. Is the rear a D-35 & the front a D-30?? I have a chance to get a Detroit ez-locker for a D-35 for a good price but want to be sure it will fit!! Thanks in advance!! Rich (winger)

I did an introduction elsewhere on the site and have now decided to make a project out of this thing. I will update as I get things done. Not going to be anything special but it will be a "Florida" manche with no rust!!! My Son bought it thinking he would make a trail rig but had a new baby and didn't have time for this so I bought it from him. As he got it: Image Not Found Image Not Found PO had removed the seat, carpet & rear window :nuts: As I got it from him: Image Not Found Image Not Found Put a new fuel pump in and made it run!! :D Tranny's shot!! :mad: Did a tranny - t/c swap and now it moves!! Called a local jy and found out they had one to look at. Jackpot!! Got a seat, rear window, marker light and a "Monster" rear bumper!! Put the seat & rear window in it. Now it's dry and I can see where I am going!! Need to clean up and repaint the bumper and then recruit some weightlifters to help install it. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Plan on licensing it soon and take it for a spin at speed to see how it rides and what else I need to fix. Hope to put on different wheels / tires soon - 31 x 10.5's probably. Completed the wheels & tires this past weekend. JY wheels and 31x10.5-15 tires. Might do a small lift but do not have any clearance problems as is. Image Not Found Image Not Found Will keep posting with progress / pictures. This club is great!! Got my stickers from Pete today so now I have something else to do!! Rich (winger)

Here's one you guys up North would love to get your hands on!!! Original "FLORIDA" truck!! There is virtually no rust anywhere on this truck. A couple of small spots inside from not having a rear window but they cleaned right up. The underside was undercoated and is really clean. I recently bought this from my Son as he didn't have time to mess with it after purchasing it. PO had removed the seat, carpet & rear window :nuts: Put a new fuel pump in and made it run!! :D Tranny's shot!! :cry: Did a tranny - t/c swap and now it moves!! :D Called a local jy and found out they had one to look at.

Plan on licensing it soon and take it for a spin at speed to see how it rides and what else I need to fix. Moving it around the yard, found out the rear wheels didn't fit over the axles so swapped the front to the rear and put a temporary set of jeep wheels on the front. Plan on putting different wheels / tires on soon - 31 x 10.5's probably. Will keep posting with progress / pictures. Pics from when I finally got it to move.
