So I figured I would post a build thread so everyone can see what I did. Maybe it will help someone.
Picture as of 5/20/2013
Front:
79 dana 44 high pinion, 5.13 mini spool, warn hubs, 6" TJ lift coils, narrowed 5", f250 shock towers, custom coil buckets (for jeep coils), high steer using chevy outers, 3" body lift
Rear:
7.5 lol thats right, stock tract lock limited slip, 5.13, single piece drive line swap, 63" chevy leaf spring swap and shock mount relocation coming real soon, I also have a 9" that I will be building this summer
Other Items:
Tube doors, rock sliders, custom bumper, quick disconnects front and rear for the winch, 130 amp alternator swap, 40/40 seat swap
So here is some pictures to get started.
I am going to make kind of a time line.
So I go this truck from my grandpa when he past, he was the original owner!!
I put a 4" suspension, 3" body lift on, with 4.56 gears to start. (there is a lot more to the story but i don't want to list what i have done before this point lol)
So the start of the build
so that dana 44 came out of a 79 F-150, its a high pinion.
I narrowed it 5" on the passenger side
Then I put 5.13 and a mini spool in it.
So then that lead me to this
custom transmission mount
Then I got what I thought would be good steering linkage.
It wasn't..... It was only 3/4 OD lol with 5/8 hemi joints, so i up graded to 1 and 1/4 OD with 3/4 hemi joints
I will post more of the build process during this next week but that is a good start hehe
