I built a bogger from a `71 GMC K1500 that I used 2 1/2T Rockwells in.I had pictures on the computer before I lost all my files.I haven`t been able to get my scanner to install onto my computer.I had to mount saddles to fit the Jimmy leafs and I ran the Rockwell duece & a quarter t-case and d-shafts.

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

I am completly new at the internet thing. I have some pictures on page 19 of 4x4 pictures. 1972 stepside 4 linked with rockwells. It is my project for the last six months. how do i go about putting a series of pictures up. I read somewere that there is a 5 picture max. Is that true?

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

You can post more in a "link",5 is the limit.But,don`t ask me how.I`m right behind you with my dunce cap.:lol:

I`m going to Walmart with a bunch of old photos and having them scan and download onto a disc.For less than $5 I can have them do what my lame arse can`t.

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

These were the only two I could find from right before it got hauled off.I know there are some of it in action.I didn`t take them,of course.I should have them somewhere.There were other pictures I couldn`t find,also.Guess I need to make another cd when I come across them.

12" Superlift for`73-87,IIRC.The mounts were made to drop it a bit,too.In the rear we made blocks that were traction bars that came forward about 5' to bushed pivot mounts.They didn`t make 12" rear springs.We fabbed bars for up front,too.

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

Here is an old one that was pretty well known. The last time I saw it it was on a trailer all taken apart.

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

Mudder,I remember that one.I had that and another on my computer I wish I had stored.I looks like that`88-up is bent in that first pic.
Towstrap,where the heck have you been?I see you have all the goods in one pic.Can`t wait to see that altogether.I`m sure not as bad as you do.
Ironman97459,that would be great to see.Can`t tell much once a body is on.

That truck looks familiar. Is it from around the Hannibal area? If s o that guy had some awesome old jeeps as well.

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

He was stationed in MO when I met him but not sure if he is from MO.

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

Just wondering. The guy that I am thinking about had all of his vehicles painted that way. You may have heard of him Walden is his last name from Hannibal. I am going to be home on the 24 of the month where are you at in central MO PM me please I would like to come and see your truck.

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

ironman, looks good, i actually see some similarities in our builds,like the way you built your hangers.

what disc brakes are you running?

andy

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

Hangers are real similar since I stole some of your ideas.:lol: The inside plate goes all the way to top of frame though.
The brakes are 6x6 2 ton setup.

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

What year did they first have the top loader axles? I am looking at a 6x6 and was wondering if it had what I needed.

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72

Re: 2.5 ton rockwell axles in a 67-72
 

the rockwells are pretty popular. i am always behind the times. i guess it takes me to long to finish a project. i had 3/4 ton when everyone else had 1 ton. when i got 1 ton all my buddies had 2.5 ton. now that i am close on finishing my 2.5 ton truck, my friends are running 5 ton rockwells.

i wanted to list a few of the builders around and a couple of sites that my buddies are on regulary.
