Update on the Warwagon

[flareside_thunder]

haha yeah, i had some army punk challenge me to a pullup comp last week. now im not that big of a guy so he was probably trying to score an easy kill...to bad for him farm work is WAY better than gym workouts...can you beleive he made it through basic training and can only do ten 1 arms?! appalling..

Yea well, I DO need to get back into it...i got FAT lol...

 

[Skandocious]

oh boo hoo hoo Chris...he's actually got to USE his truck for somethin other than trollin the mall parkinglots...lmao he can't leave it torn apart for any length of time and hop into the MG

...nor can I... the MG is at my mom's house, wisenheimer. Nor is in any shape to be a daily driver-- the OD is broken so it maxes out at around 45-50, no freeway driving. My truck is my only means of transportation.

Lol but the axles are one of the most important parts of the drivetrain! That's like saying "yeah my engine is mostly Cobra Jet, except for the block and heads"

I think you missed my previous post where i gently explained that i have the full float Sterling 10.25 w/ 4.10s waiting for a D60 counterpart

All in due time my friend, all in due time

I definantly think you need bigger tires...you might meet a speedbump down there in califor-i-a that those 33's cant handle

You're right. These danged speed bumps are 7 feet tall down here.

 

[flareside_thunder]

What are ya doin Chris runnin down the Lakers?????

 

[godblessmud]

Due time would come alot sooner if i could find a damn D60 for anything less than 1200 non rebuilt...whoever is going around telling people they are good axles needs to shut up so i can snag one cheep

 

[flareside_thunder]

solid d60?I just saw a set of d60's front and rear for 1200 bucks rebuilt...but here in Florida

My brother picked up a 93 F350 with a non-running PSD for $800 about a year ago.

Damned D60 looked brand new and already had the gearing he needed.

He parted the truck as much as possible, sold the ZF, tcase, rear axle, and a few other misc items. Ended up turning a damned profit on the thing AND getting the D60 for free He spent the past several months basically replacing every external part on the axle-- ball joints, ujoints, wheel bearings, brake rotors, calipers, hubs, lockouts, all new steering, bushings, inner axle seals in the diff. We finally finished the last few steps a couple weeks ago and he just finished the D60 swap last weekend, along with a shackle reversal + Super Duty dual-rate springs all the way around. Lucky bastard's F250 + PSD rides nicer than my F150

Yup..

Heck, he ain't even a "mall crawler" right now, cause he can't drive up on the car(s) in the first spot, to be closer to the door.



BTW truck looks good, Scott!

solid d60?

What other kind is there?




I wish I knew why the west coast is so proud of their 60s. Cheeto just sold a 60 for $900 and I only paid $700 for mine.

X2. Youre making me proud.

 

[godblessmud]

The broken kind?


When my buddy wrapped his J20 around a telephone pole at 95mph there was nothing solid about that axle haha

 

[godblessmud]

X2. Youre making me proud.

Thanks guys

Kris if you remember i considered selling that truck for a 1 ton before i ever started the build, now im very glad i made (am making) it the way i wanted myself.

 

[LEB Kris]

well thats just stupidity.

 

[flareside_thunder]

hmmm coulda sworn ford had an IFS 60.....hell I'm probly thinkin of a 50

 

[godblessmud]

If by stupidity you mean a combination of "I just crapped my pants" and "can we do it again" then yes

Sorry, the brain doesnt work too well anymore. Ive always been a fan of building what you want versus buying it. Built not bought!

They made a TTB D50, not a 60.
