Halibrand Faux quick change
Anyone know where I might find or the availability of the Halibrand case that uses the stock differential components?
Thanks, Chris |

Re: Halibrand Faux quick change
I think there was a thread on the HAMB. It was called a no-change rear end. I remember them being really expensive. I would just paint a steel one with aluminum paint.
The aluminum and mag center sections have a flaw in that the materials are much more flexible than the steel. This lets the mesh get wider and often knocking out the pinion support web. |

Re: Halibrand Faux quick change
Not totally sure what you are referring to, the Halibrand V8 center section uses most of the original differential. The new parts are shown for a Hot Rod Works center section (There are additional parts and modifications, but these are the basic parts).
If you want a total fake quick change lookalike use one of the Speedway bolt on units. Last edited by JSeery; 05-13-2017 at 08:43 PM. |

Re: Halibrand Faux quick change
Wilson Welding used to make a QC that was built up using the original steel rear end. I don't see it on their web site anymore.

Re: Halibrand Faux quick change
Vern Tardell referred to the original Halibrand "dummy" case, with a great photo on page 54 of "How to build a Traditional Ford Hot Rod."

Re: Halibrand Faux quick change
Dick Spadaro once offered a V-8 QC center section in open or closed drive that was made for him by Winters. The cost was about the same as Don Orosco's dummy aluminum banjo housing mentioned above. I have one of Spadaro's closed drive QC's in a '35 tudor sedan.
It looks like the Speedway fake bolt on QC might be your lowest cost option.

Re: Halibrand Faux quick change
Thanks John,
I'm exploring options for that '33 pickup. I have it all blown apart. Still need to disassemble the rearend to see what kind of shape it's in after I borrow a spring spreader and hub puller... 3 speed trans looks good internally. Wondering how everything will hold up to that hot flathead. Rear is a 4:11 going by the stamp anyway. Can always change it after I guess. |

Re: Halibrand Faux quick change
If you can weld and all you want is a dummy for the looks. Get a cover plate and fab the rest up.spray paint it silver

Re: Halibrand Faux quick change
That's a good price if it is a good unit.

Re: Halibrand Faux quick change
I had one of those back in the 60's. Didn't end up using it and when I moved scrapped it. Who knew??

I'm just going for the look of the quick change gear box on back of th banjo for now I guess. The fake bolt on from speedway looks decent. These are interesting units though. |

Re: Halibrand Faux quick change
No. I designed and built a special rear cross member that accepts a Model A rear spring
