Wanted

I'm looking for a set of tandem axles to throw in the rear of my F-450 to make it a 6x6. Does anybody know of a light tandem set up available on this continent? Wheel pattern does not matter, gear ratio preference is 4.10.

Thanks,
Mark.

Mark,

Haven't heard of any commercially available light duty tandems out there...

I do remember a while back there was a custom Dodge truck nicknamed T-Rex that had some. I did a google search and came up with this:

Maybe you can use some of the ideas?

Pete

Try usa6x6.

Stans T-Rex uses 2 1/2 ton Rockwells, I have plenty of those but the ratio is no good for what I want to do with them. USA 6x6 has a neat little gearbox for a 14 bolt but it's not what I'm after and I have experienced USA 6x6 and refuse to deal with them again. I'd like to see something in the 2 1/2 ton range but I really need the ratio in the 4.10 range, my F-450 has a 5.9 Cummins and Alison AT545 auto with no overdrive. The other option would be a divorced transfer case with dual outputs, the rest I can take care of from there, I haven't researched that yet.

Thanks,
Mark
