Nothing like owning the same truck twice.
Because the front tires lost traction before it could. Path of least resistance and shit.
That drivetrain created the best overall truck ever built for it's time. And it was cheap enough people like my uncle could afford one new. Which is now my '77 for the last 25 years.

Makes me think I'm probably good to move an empty dry van on a converter dolly.
It's a shame nobody hooked one of the modern 1-tons they had kicking around to that abomination of a road train. Even without getting too abusive it would have been cool to see what it could do.
Yeah, it's amazing how well stock shit that people here turn up their nose at works when you aren't trying to make it turn a tire that has 30% more diameter.

That drivetrain is nothing special other than the 14B being marginally better than the D70 Ford and Dodge were using.
Did you not have the frame mount that bolts the transfer case side to the frame? I've abused the hell out of 465/205 setups and never broken adapters or sleeves. Broken a shit ton of D44 axle ujoints though.

I think the truck pullers break the input shaft. The ford np435 -205-60 was a strong set-up

I have had about 30 figure 8 465-205 Adapters and probably 25 were cracked. Most people can't even see the cracks unless they are cleaned and heated with a torch to melt the oil out. The factory braces that came in some of the early trucks don't help in my opinion. Probably why GM switched to a diffetent style in the newer trucks and eventually got rid of the sleeves and went to a different adapter.

Tell that to the 60 rear I've broke twice behind a 435-205.
I ain't even THAT hard on it either.

Uhhh you do realize my truck has like 8 options on it that includes the 4 speed, 350 engine, AM radio, power steering, gauges, and spare tire, right?
This is a straight bare bones farm truck. This thing didn't even ever have any hubcaps! 3/4 ton, 8 foot bed. This was from when it was new:
Little different than pricing out a k5 toy.

I was thinking 60 front, but i forgot about the 60 rear.

Yabut...do you still have the original rear in your truck? If so, that 30spl Dana 60 is a weak hearted SOB. I've broken several of them as well.Tell that to the 60 rear I've broke twice behind a 435-205.
Captain Call
No
To be fair, just the one time was the shaft. The other time was the ring.

A 10.25 is a big upgrade.
Or just sell the truck to me and I will not abuse it like you do.
Yeah, monster max is a complete fail and pretty pathetic every time he has it in a video. It's slow as balls, breaks all the time, suspension is useless, and the jet engine is pointless. I'd so much prefer to see him in a proper monster truck lol that would be some good entertainment.
I've got one with a school bus 465 big input shaft and 13 inch clutch and flywheel so big it has a steel adapter plate from the block to the humongous bell housing and still haven't broken the couplers.

Abuse? Nah, both times was pulling my gooseneck flatbed. Not abuse in my book. Wasn't even that heavy. 10k maybe. Guess the 460 just likes 60's for lunch.BTDT

My old 85' f-150 explorer rc/swb 4x4 351ho c6 was $14k and change new. had cruise and tilt
My 97 F250 XLT 7.3 4x4 ECLB was 34k new. Window sticker is still in the glovebox.
Edit: If I keep it a few more years it will probably be worth 34k again.

My uncle said he thought the truck cost him $6,000. Looking at old sales ads on YouTube from 1977, I think he was right.

I watched half of the video. Boring. Not much of a destruction derby if you stop and repair everything that breaks.

How do you all watch that guy? I don't get his shtick at all and find it incredibly annoying. Dump all the oil onto the floor, lower the ripper onto the concrete slab of your shop, run the forklift up under your supercar? Just stupid. Seems like some of his stuff could be interesting if you cut out the childish nonsense.
