Mostly broke rocker crawler

[pinchegringo]

Already started this truck so I'll just jump in where I'm at now.
I just need something to crawl with and don't have the money or time to do anything super fancy but I'll be happy if it works reasonable.
Couldn't swing the billet beadlocks so we made these.

Honing a rear lp60 to accept a 2.46 seal

Np231 output seal is the same as a 79 d60 housing and has the correct diameter for 35 spline shaft

Balljoint delete on zero degree c's

Had these shafts made,they're supposed to be some kind of whop ass thru or case hardened but I have my doubts as chrome looking as they are. Looks like 4130 to me. If they snap I'll just bite the bullet and get the 300m ones.

Some 300m goodies

Honestly I'm relieved all the parts fit correctly.

You might want to start with telling us what the hell you are starting with. "Truck" isn't a very good description......

It's not anything yet. Eventually it will be tube buggie with a 1924 hudson pickup inside.

 

[pinchegringo]

Already built the front end,it's a sd60

 

[pinchegringo]

This is the turd I'll be parting out for the body. Well, half the body anyways.

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

That's cool as hell.

in.

 

[pinchegringo]

Rear-end needs skidplate,highsteer tied and slugs but it's close enough to mock up.

Dis gonna be good!

Rear axle ready to go in

 

[pinchegringo]

Playing around with a front rotor I machined it down kinda seeing what you could fit.If I took it down another 3/4 and machined the calipers a bit you could fit yota parts on it. Probably pissing in the wind but need to figure something out with the stock front calipers hitting the wheels. Rear chevy maybe?

 

[pinchegringo]

Wait a minute, I've owned half a dozen f250's with 17 inch wheels. This axle must be a f450 if the brakes don't clear?

 

[pinchegringo]

This is indeed a f450 axle so f250 brakes won't work. Doesn't matter,even 250 brakes are way too heavy anyways. I'm open to suggestions for a easy out on this 99-04 8x6.5 sd60.

 

[ANGRYBLACK]

IN!

 

[pinchegringo]

I wouldn't suggest anyone do brakes this way though it is pretty light. Rear chevy 3500 rotors like early 2000's had pretty much a perfect backspace but needed the center punched out.

 

[pinchegringo]

I used these four piston yota calipers because I had them laying around. They don't float on pins and mount solid so they have to be absolutely centered. Also machined the inside out a little to accept the larger rotors.

 

[pinchegringo]

Maybe some adapters

 

[pinchegringo]

Think it might work pretty good.

 

[pinchegringo]

These calipers have been on a shelf for 13 years so a $13 rebuild is in order. Ready to be done with boring stuff.
