This one would be all out crawler. It's got body damage already so I wouldn't be restoring it. Chicks dig body damage!

What needs to be replaced?

I should probably delete my account and join some expo forum. I traded the ranger for this sexplorer. Needs a few things but it's gonna be fun.

Wes it's 3/4 8 lug 44 front 60 rear Waggy springs up front super lift out back back is pushed back 6ish inches 5.38 gears with a lsd in the back. Front has some super ghetto fab. I wanna swap in my Dana 60 front so I'm thinking pull the 44 and sell it to fund gears and a locker for the 60. Then since I have most of the stuff do a simple 3 link or radius arm set up. Wanna help?! Oh yeah I'm on suuuuuuper bald tires tho.

why would you want another 44?! its the best 44 with good gears but still! its a 44. you need a 60. i am almost positive its a 78-79 f250 axle. its got leaf spring perches and its 8 lug with disc brakes and high pinion. that makes it the best one but meh i need a 60 under it! I jacked u the front end today and it definitely has a bad wheel bearing... its all over the road and the wheel has a lot of play. side to side. wes if you want it we could work something out. lets have some beers and talk trucks.

Ben- I'm not even sure yet. The front is all tore apart. They said it was tweaked. So I figured lights, switches and what ever wiring that's been chewed by squirrels since they live in a squirrel infested canyon. Plus seats needing reupholstered, body work, windshield, doors if they aren't there, etc.
