Does that look like light wheeling to you?

That looks like mudding, minimal stress compared to other styles of wheeling...everyone has somebody that they know (or did it themselves) that threw 44's on a TTB and flogged it...so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree,

 

[cory86f-350]

maybe someone cabbed it?

 

[LEB Ben]

maybe someone cabbed it?

I dunno man...but being that it's a 350 4x4...it should have a straight axle...so who knows what you got into...haha.

 

[flareside_thunder]

Ha ha ok Ben agree to disagree.....yea it coulda been a cab swap...or heck even a body swap!

 

[cory86f-350]

huh i got a heinz 57. oh well big tires and a big blocks gonna equal fun in the mud

 

[cory86f-350]

hey man welcome to the site!
You should turn that long bed in to a short bed

 

[surewhynot]

Some years of the F350 4x4 used a TTB axle. I can't remember what the years are though. I thought that in mid 85 they went back to the straight axle, not 100% sure though.

hey welcome to the forum. Im from Capac MI, so not to far from ya

Welcome to FTF Cory, Flint has been in the news lately.

Basically its rise and fall due to the auto industry.

 

[slmann]

Welcome to the site.

 

[LEB Paul]

As far as I know, the F350 was TTB from 80-85.5, an '86 should be a solid axle. It sounds like you have an F250 with an F150 cab, or someone swapped out your half ton axles to 8 lug stuff. See what the VIN on the door and frame are and if they match!


edit: sorry, forgot to say.... Welcome to FTF!

 

[98nascartruck]

HI and WELCOME to FTF

 

[flareside_thunder]

I really doubt that someone would take the time to swap out the springs hangers and what not...probly just a body swap.
