So we're gonna be replacing it along with everything else that inside our rear axle with parts that we got from Summit Racing dot com. Now if you ever encounter a loss of traction when you're on the power only one wheel is going to spin and you're not going anywhere. Now this is the most basic style that there is and it does nothing for high performance driving. From the factory our truck was equipped with an open differential. Now if you didn't have a differential the inside wheel would just be skidding along. Now this is kind of basic information but the reason we need a differential is because when you go around corners the inside wheel always spins at a slower speed than the outside. As power makes its way from the engine to the rear tires it first has to pass through a differential. A little bit to the left, a little bit to the right, a little bit to the right. (LT)> I had to point the camera at the guys on the wall. (Austin)> Serious horsepower behind this thing. Help me push this out before you jump into that though. I'll get my hands greasy and I'll handle this rear end, all the grunt work right, and to help you out I'll keep my greasy hands as far away from that cab as possible. (LT)> Alright well to make that happen though we've got to finish building out this rear axle cause right now it's just an empty housing, but the parts are here and I have a deal for you. (Austin)> Now before we jump the gun and get ahead of ourselves I still have to shoot some proper paint on that, and I might as well do it while it's off the frame so I'm not masking all this up and we get overspray everywhere, but I also am excited to see this thing rolling on its own four wheels. Our goal by the end of the day is to have that cab bolted back on to this frame for good. A turbocharged 292 sitting up front and a Treme five speed that backs it up. (Austin)> As you can tell we have the C-10 chassis sitting on a lift here and we are ready to dive back into this project and start making some progress. Wait until you see what we've got planned. (Austin)> Now I know what you're thinking painting this beautiful patina truck. (Narrator)> Today Lo 'n Slo's cab hits the frame but not before we put power to both wheels.
