This is not going to be a typical build thread. It will be very slow moving and mostly for me to keep a timeline of my alterations I have done to my truck over time. I'm starting to gather parts for an SAS conversion, and about to swap in an explorer 8.8. I had bought a non running 92 eddie bauer explorer to use for the typical Dana 35/8.8 axle swap, but its just too clean to me feel right about chopping it up. Now im keeping it and it will be my daily driver when I get all the parts for the SAS. So when its not raining and not super muddy I need to get to my local Pull-a-part and pick up another 8.8. Humble beginnings(about 4 years ago, taken the week I bought it):
First time in the mud:
A more recent one:
Bed full-o-crap:79 F150 High pinion front Dana 44 (I didn't buy it that clean you can see all the rust I wire-wheeled off of it), explorer 8.8 rear disc setup, a pair of 96 ranger d35 knuckles and caliper cores I was going to use on the Dana 35 swap I had originally planned.
