i have a diff off my 79 swb and am thinking about putting on trade me ..
its a 3.75/1 .. whats its worth ... or what should i be hoping for ??? ???
-
Very limited market for them. I sold my Cresta diff around 2 years ago now I think. I can't remember whether I got 2 or 3 hundred dollars for it. It was a word of mouth sale and not on Trademe though.

One of our members might be after a diff and he'll be comin down to the Nationals. I'll let him know and maybe you can do a deal.

one of RCV wanted it ... but not heard from him in a while ...
changing a diff after a few drinks sounds like a great idea ... ;D

HI Man, what ratio is it, has it got the cresta pinion gear in it. My spider gears have packed up I have a cresta pinion gear in mine.
I just bought another one and put it in on the weekend but it was stuffed.
-
ratio is 3.75 .. havent opened it so not sure if its a cresta one ... but with that ratio and in a standard beddy housing what elsr could it be
to check ratio i marked the drive shaft end and turned the drive wheel 2 turns ... count the amout of times the shaft turns
have told someone in the weekend ill hold it for them ... but not planing on waiting for ever
wheel bearing on passenger side is very noisy .... failed wof becourse of it ...
-
bugger about the wheel bearing as they are really expensive to replace.. My email is archdraught@gmail.com, keep in touch in regards to whether the other guys wants it or not.
Cheers Phil

Phil, i'll ask around today, i don't have any though.
You don't need to pull diff head out to tell if it's a cresta or not, crestas have a longer snout, about 2 inches longer
-
Yep that 2" makes a big difference. ;)
-
yep, that 2 inches can make her stop screaming
at 80k's
-
Yes but you have to take it a little easy, as it takes a little bit longer to build up speed, but preforms much better.

Yeah I got a Mk1 bedford camper. with 173 holden motor with orginal gearbox and had creasta pinion.
Because my bedford is a camper back I thinking of changing to a different diff. I searching the web at moment for diff sizes.
From what I have read so far the bedford diff is 67.7 inches. is this the axle width of is this to centre of wheels?
I am looking at american vechicals. as I can modify the internal wheel arches easy enough and I have 15x8 mags waiting to go on it.
-
just use a salizbys, how ever you spell it
the fords came out with the 2: range and commodore came out with the 3: range, some others came out with other including 4:'s
they come in 2 and 4 spider (use the 4) and lsd, the bedford axles are the same spline as the common sized one but about a millimeter thicker in axle size, the groves need to be deepened a fraction
-
sold mind for $150...
fitted borgewarner diskbrake one from vs commodore...
-
iwas quoted $340 ish per rear wheel bearing os swaped mine out for a sleeved 10 bolt with 3.08 ratio, that i already had
was tpld the falcon is an easy swap .. get a ute or panel van center and sleeve the bedford tubes to it
and as busy said get the axel spline moded .. wont help with getting cheaper wheel bearing kits tho
