Yea or No Way?

Welded rear end?..as in the spider gears?

That's my assumption; I'll have to check on that.

 

[DNFXDLI]

And you are planning on driving on the street?

 

[dragogt]

Oh, in that case, let me do the swap!

I'm tempted to use it now!

Win..

What I figured, Lincoln locker..

 

[Austin]

Don't know too much about lockers/gears/etc... he says it's welded and chirps on tight turns.

Best do some reading up on that before you buy.

 

[dragogt]

Lincoln locker, is a cheep way to get a full spool..

I'm on pirate 4x4 as I type!

Okay, okay.

welded rear ends suck for daily driving... that Bronco in Smithville i test drove for you way back when Austin had a welded rear end... WOOO... it was tough...

just check it way over and over and over again and drive the piss out of it.. make sure its pinion angle is right, that means it aint vibrating...

It's a toy, makes it even more fun to drive if I have to work for it!

I'll check it over several times... I really want to find out what the front end is, as well as the T-case.

 

[Austin]

Say, anybody happen to know what brand/name the wheels are?

 

[dragogt]

You mean the ones that you can hardly see..

Yep!

 

[Austin]

3 or 4 black swirling scallops... is about all I can describe them with.

Would be cool to have that van but if the rear has been welded up it means someone abused it and did a cheap fix to get a locker. If they cheaped out on the rear what else is rigged together on it.

That was what was going through my head as well Randy.

^^^I agree with these fellas.

 

[Austin]

These wheels!:

Well, now that the excitement has fizzled, I've decided to hold off on this one. I'll just keep my fine example of an F-Superduty and live on.

Now here's the kicker - my father has a client that wants my truck!!! Annnnnd, here's the good part, my dad says he can get me $5k for it! (aka twice what I have in it).

Am I going to sell, you ask? Doubt it.

 

[5.0Flareside]

good decision..

 

[LEB Ben]

Shoot...for 5k, I'd drop that thing in a heart beat. IMO, you could get a whole lot more vehicle for the money. With the tinkering you've done and the pieces it's in, the SD is still an unknown quantity essentially, you've already been wishy-washy on it willing to trade for other vehicles not worth 5k. The other thing I'd do is dump that sploder before she lets loose and is rendered useless and worthless for you. Now you probably have upwards of 7k...get yourself a late 90's diesel F-series 4x4 and call it done. You get your 4x4, you're more reliable and you're cutting cost of ownership. You should get a kick to the balls for not selling at 5k.
