Front Wheel Drive Capability?
I custom built this truck,...and I'm curious who else might have true front wheel drive capability in addition to the usual RWD and 4x4? Mine is capable of this only through it's machined, twin-stick NP205 transfer case from Off Road Design in Carbondale, Colorado. It was so much fun to test the system last Sunday by unlocking the Warn hubs ('73 front and rear axles), rear axle in neutral, front axle locked in high, and tranny (TH400 with 1200 stall speed converter) in drive,...front driveshaft turning, front axle turning, and truck immobile due to the unlocked hubs!
This is my '78 3/4 ton 4x4 FRANKENTRUCK that I've been custom building for about eight months: Completed interior with the twin-stick: and the 350hp/411ftlb torque 350 V8 I built in it's nearly finished engine bay: Now I'm terribly curious to hear from others of you that have this weird capability,...it'll be priceless in the snow! I can place all the weight over the steering and driving axle. No more bag of concrete in the bed during the winter for traction, or the nasty tendancy for RWD to send the rear of the truck to the front when it's slick. And I only have to drive one axle, so I'll get better mpg than with 4x4. You FWD folks got pics too? Todd. |
