just wheel it as is until you have all your parts. then once you have everything, start upgrading,

Some of the ghetto fab on the front axle. Pinion is pointing at the engine.

Kid was off work today so we cut out the old cage and 4” pipe air tank sliders. Got the leaking clutch slave and master cylinder’s out.

That's friggen retarded. That's got sooo much negative caster it would never drive in a straight line. Hence the 2 stabilizers... Someone was drunk.

Why buy a reverse shackle kit when you could just flip the springs around... Mine had some 12 inch long front shackles with some grade 5 bolts. Was barely able to flat tow it the mile down the road to my shop. Looks like someone had already swapped in a set of decent axles though.

Progress.

You sticking with the Dana 44s? And what is that in the background, I spot multiple scouts...

 

[cagcig]

14 bolt rear and 44 front. We found a Ford d60 to re tube later. The other one was the first thing I put together for my oldest. That was on the other site.

The mobile version is dumb sometimes it will give you the option after the photos upload to insert full image. Most times it don't show up and you have to go back in and edit the post to see the option.

That front axle looks beefy!

 

[cagcig]

Ok, so tell me I’m dumb. Spring pack is too soft. Springs are 2 1/2 I have an old set of Bronco springs that are 2 1/4. How big of a deal would that 1/4 of an inch be in the spring pack be if I added 1 or 2?

 

[cagcig]

Found a set of springs so I don’t have to be dumb

Look at me go. I posted a full size photo. You can teach an old dog new tricks.

 

[cagcig]

Why go through the trouble of changing drive train and not move it forward. Don’t know if I want to go through all this. Maybe just get it together and run it for next summer then address it. Maybe the kids will have more time to invest in it.

 

[cagcig]

Got all the rear brackets cut off and ground. Only cut through in a couple spots.

 

[cagcig]

Thinking about notching the frame. Any tips or thoughts?

 

[Winchested]

For links or leaf springs?
