this is my trailer tug that i am building right now it is a 1946 Studebaker m-16. I put a 300 ford in it with a t-18 trans. axles are heavy hub closed knuckle d44 and a gm 14 bolt with 13" brakes. right now my ranger has a higher priority over this build but after its done....

well I'm finally digging back out the old ranger for some more work I've been putting off for a while. As soon as i get the pad I'm going to work on in cleared off the front end is going to come out and get replaced with a jeep d30. Yes I know that the axle is weaker than a 44 but my trucks got...

for 35" tires id go with the 44/60 combo, because I've broken diff gears with just 31s in my 8.8. there is also a better aftermarket for this combo and depending on the years of the axles you can get parts anywhere. Also if you run full widths with centered backspaced wheel, it is just as wide...

I've got a 89 ranger with a 2.9L engine in it and i was looking for some more horsepower for it along with better fuel millage. I am considering a cummins 4bt turbo diesel engine along with the drive train out of a 1 ton dodge pickup to help handle the power. I just need some input so i can...
