Long time since last update...
hello all...
Been a long time since the last update on the site here...
Moved to Smiths Grove, KY end of last year... YAH for warmer weather....
Not to much for changes recently. Upgraded steering last year, HooHaa center link, AC Adjusters, new inners and outers just because...
Added some 255/85/16 Maxxis BigHorns on 16x7 steel wheel's... Love the tires, VERY tall.. Still pulling them off with no body lift, which I have decided the truck will NOT get...
More recent pictures...
However I have started a new project on the truck for this year....
D44 from a 76 F-250. Shortening long side by 2.63" to run long shafts from a Waggy D44. Leaving the short side at F-250 length, and running Waggy outer stuff.
Leaf sprung, probably under axle, as i'm not shooting for much additional lift, just want to clear a 35" tire and have a much more dependable front end.
4.9's or 5.13's depending on what route the rear end ends up taking. Either leaving the h233b in, but swapping 3rds for a 4.9 rear end, and matching up front, or running 5.13's up front, and swapping to a 9" rear, and running bronco outer stuff up front to get a 5 lug pattern vs 6 lug...
Axle is stripped down, sanded, mounts are cut off, and long side knuckle is ready to come off... (ran out of disc's for my angle grinder, and need a new blade for the cut, so on hold until i hit the store tomorrow)...
Planning to lock it, however that may not happen before the build, as we are also trying to put as much money away as possible right not in addition to the build...
I'll keep it updated as progress is made.
