Hi, I stumbled upon this thread trying to find info about drawing up my plans to build my own clocking ring but it sounds like this is what you do so here goes...
My truck is a 77 F-250 that has a Cummins and NV4500 in it. Behind the NV is a, now defunct, US Gear OD box. Behind it is a Ford 203/205 t-case. My problem is that the second clocking ring is wrong and does not return the 203/205 to its proper drop angle. The other problem is that the rings are made out of 3/4" aluminum and I don't like that idea given the considerable weight of the system pieces. Since US Gear doesn't make this box anymore, and doesn't service any of its parts, I can't even get the proper ring I need, not to consider the aluminum issue.
So what do you think? What I need are two clocking rings made out of high grade steel. One that goes from a Dodge 6 bolt round pattern on the back of the NV to what I assume is a GM 6 bolt round pattern on the front of the range box. And one that goes from the back of the range box which is a GM 6 bolt, I think, to the front of the Ford 203.
Thanks.
