I have decided to do it...I have been reading and reading and still searching the web .
My truck is a 6.9/t19/ drw d60
I have at my fingertips drivetrain/suspension parts from an 86 f250 6.9/t19/BW1345 /sterling full float
So I know its a crazy idea,lots of bracket removal and reinstall.. For now the D44 will have to stay and most likely i will find out the hard way if the hubs arent strong enough..but it will get me by for now..
it will be getting a set of drw spacers and the load of an old fisher plow on it..
Already modding the push plates to clear the extra deep 6.9 radiator support..
Read up on the fisher site my plow setup will not clear the d60 steering...so, for now I stay ttb
Not sure if any can confirm , i was reading there was no such thing as a "factory" gen 7-9 4wd dually , that they were dual conversions done by 3rd party companies.. hmmm?
would make this truck even more interesting
Well my first hangup was the rear driveshaft... the sterling pinion length seems to be a bit longer than the d60..
rough measure brings me to say the d60 is roughfly 1/2"-1" shorter ..
If the two rears used the same size u joints , and i think they do, i was told i should be ok stretching the shaft that little bit, that guys who lift up to 4" use the factory rear shafts stretching them apx 1.5" over stock position.
hoping that part works out...thats where I am starting..trans/transfer case swap...keep it mobile.. then i will work on the spring hangers at the frame horns...
anywho, its a start
