'06 HD Straight Axle Conversion Build Pics... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey All....

Once again my long time annoying buddy, Joe, has got me wasting my time on more of his BS builds...this time once again on his weak a$$ truck (always give'n crap about it)

Anyway, should'a bought a Diesel, but whatever, 6.0 it is !!

When he got this truck a while ago, we lifted it using a PC kit.

After that came an airlocker, which took its toll on the halfshafts..three to be exact !! Then snapped a carrier mount...then lost a wheel on the highway !!!

So after a long time of slowly collecting parts...here we are !!!

ORD supplies the kit, Super Duty witll spring it, and a 3/4 ton Dodge AMM axle will carry it....

Here goes nuthin.....

Lets get this sucker on the lift, shall we ?
-
-

-

-
Some left over carnage:
-

-
What a joke...

-

-
More clearance without this hanging Torsion Xmember....
-

-
We loosened everything up, and lowered the truck's stock suspension onto a pallet:
-

-

-
Front complete 6" Procomp list will be for sale, BTW .... complete with arms, steering, pitman arm, etc....

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-06-2011, 09:37 PM

Good luck with it. That's a sweet truck too. Even if it does have a 6.0 in it.

I know it is ... it's my good friend Joe the kinda friend you grew up getting in trouble with...(ya, that kinda friend

)

I would take that 6.0 for my '63 C-10 any day !!!

But, he still should of got a DuraMax !!

Although a future Cummins swap is up in the air.....

Wait a minute, that would mean more of "Joe" in my shop !!!

**ChiefRocka** · 10-06-2011, 09:47 PM

Here's the Dodge Axle....Another good thing about running this axel, is the Chevy ABS sensors are same, and will plug right into the Dodge axle !! This kit is intended for an older Ford axle, which already has 36" pad centers...

Gonna have to plasma off all the stock coil and fourlink mounts....
-
-

-
Stock mounts removed:
-

-

-
-
-
(sorry for the small, dark pictures...dont feel like redoing it all....

)
-
-
-
Front hooks are temporarily removed to install front hangers....
-

-

-
If you notice, the crossmember was removed (even though the kit states that it doesn't need to be removed...DO NOT REMOVE exact words) ... I'm gonna fab up a much cleaner one later !!
-

-

-
Rear hanger mock up ... bolt on as well, but I am gonna burn it in for extra insurance. It only bolts to the inner wall of frame:
-

-

-
Stupid Duty Springs in:
-
-

-

-
CoilOver/Shock mounts locate to stock upper a-arm mounts and stock shock mount...
-

-
Slight trimming required...
-

-

-
-
-
More soon !!!

Chevy1TonFun · 10-06-2011, 10:31 PM

Got me hook. You wanna come help me with mine next? lol j/k I'm gathering info to prep my my 1/2 ton 2wd to SAS silverado.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-07-2011, 02:47 AM

A cummins in that truck would be awesome!

**ChiefRocka** · 10-11-2011, 09:42 AM

Back with a few more pics.....
-
-
Welded up the mounts for a little added strength:
-
-

-

**ChiefRocka** · 10-11-2011, 09:56 AM

Axle is finally prepped and sanded:
-

-

-
Now, the only tuff part about running this Dodge axle was getting the drivers side leaf spring pad to sit correctly.
-
-
Pass side...no brainer:
-

-
The springs have to be set at a 36" pad center....So this DS places the pad part way up onto the center casting....With a little patience, I made it happen !!
-
-
First we trimmed off the pad so it sits level:
-

-
-
Then we had to slightly grind away part of the casted in bumpstop contact pad:
-
-

-
-

-
-
Once we had the pad over far enough (it didn't take much really, only about 3/16" of material had to be removed) it was time to drill for the u bolt...
-
-

-

-
-
Simple notch gave clearance for u-bolt:
-
-

-
-
Before we drilled, we pulled the diff cover and checked to be sure it was in fact a big chunk of casting....
-
-
The kit supplied us with 3" axle ubolts, and one larger one (the one used). This axle requires 3 1/2" which are coming today....

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-11-2011, 11:05 AM

Very nice work! I'm sure that was nerve wracking drilling into the housing!

snj8198 · 10-11-2011, 02:27 PM

Good info sir. What length springs and rate are you using? And what shocks did you decide to use? By the perches it looks like you plan on running duels straight up. If I ever decided to purchase a new body style GM I would jump right into a SAS.

kSStamp0182 · 10-11-2011, 06:14 PM

subscribed. i plan on buying a duramax like this asap, and the IFS will be the FIRST thing to go!

jeremy zander · 10-12-2011, 12:01 PM

Very nice..OK I am next for the swap and mine is a dmax..

Hoods69BadBowTie · 10-12-2011, 05:14 PM

Looking badass so far. The drilling part looks scary but it looks like it turned out great. Keep up the good work and good luck with the rest of it

We are using stock '99 up SuperDuty springs. I'm not a big fan of running 20 shocks per corner for some kind of 'look'. I recommended to him to just run two lightly valved shocks....

Thanks .... here are some more from last night:
-
-
I patch up the frame in the area where the stock crossmember was removed:
-
-
-

-

-

-

-
-
-
Next I turned to welding the pads on....letting the axle cool after each pass:
-
-

-

-
Used some temporary ubolts for mock up...I jsut had to see what this sucker was gonna look like.....
-

-

-
-
-

**ChiefRocka** · 10-13-2011, 10:52 AM

-

-
-
-
So far I and the owner are liking it.

Acording to the kit...hanger and Super duty spring provide an equivilant to a 6" lift...but it looks more closer to 8"

Next will be some paint...correct u-bolts, then move on to steering !!!!

kSStamp0182 · 10-13-2011, 11:04 AM

looks damn good!!!

i have no idea what this cost, but this is something i'll be looking into on mine!

http://spyntec.com/02-08_dodge_spyntec_overview/

snj8198 · 10-13-2011, 01:31 PM

So the plan is to see what you get for lift in the front then match the rear?

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-13-2011, 02:10 PM

It looks awesome! Nice welds too btw!

DirtyLarry · 10-13-2011, 04:19 PM

Now that is just darn right awesome! Just the way the General should have done it the first time. The only place IFS belongs is on ATV’s and little trucks like Toyota Tacomas.

Good work Chief!

Looking forward to the final product!

**ChiefRocka** · 10-13-2011, 07:28 PM

Thanks guys....

y5mgisi · 10-14-2011, 02:01 AM

Damnit thats bad ass!!!

Quick question, How long are the super duty springs?

I love Chevy trucks. But this is why I bought a Jeep. I don't have the talent to do that.

47thriftmaster · 11-10-2011, 08:32 PM

Work looks great, should be a lot of fun when finished. I did my '06 a few years back, but did coil overs in all 4 corners rather then leafs. It's a blast and he won't have to worry about replacing the CV shafts all the time. Here's a quick pic.
