Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

the inside of the rear notch is 1 1/2 over the top of the frame i dont know what size that would make it and it is a parallel 4 link with panhard bar and bag behind axle. the front is just an an 8 inch i.d. pipe recessed into the lower arm. RE7's in front and RE8's in the back pretty simple setup.

I did not do anything to the rear fenders it would lay frame on a 32 tall tire and just barely clear the top of the dually fender i mean like 1/4 of an inch.
heres a picture of my notch right after i got it all together. i have since broke the driver side shock mount

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

I believe that they are the billet specialties talladega. They had a couple diff designs of that wheel. I looked at them when I got wheels for my nova. I ende up with intro twisted vista instead.

i dont have very many more pictures of my truck on this computer, ill try to post some more when i get them. but the truck is sitting on 35x14.5x15's the front dana 44 is out of a 1977 ford 1/2 ton and the rear dana 60 is out of a mid 90's, i believe, dodge. the front does have coil springs with the ford spring buckets that have had a total of 7 or so inches cut out of them.the rear is a 4 inch spring lift with a 4 inch block. this set up brings the truck around to about an 8 inch lift. i had also went with the ford front axle because the truck will be getting a 24 valve cummins and an nv 4500/np 205 swap in its near future

the interior i have came out of my dads crew when he got newer stuff except for my 4 captains chairs which i got out of a dead astro van

i forgot to mention that i paid $250 for my cab as a 2 wheel drive, had a 4wd frame in our yard every thing else i have got from either vehicles that my father and i have collected or the scrap yard. so far the total bill for this truck is $415.83 that in cludes two 10 pound spools of welding wire that i bought for my dads wire feed

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

I can understand the need to move the front diff to accomodate the t-case swap, but why would you use a half ton Ford 44? If you turn up the Cummins I don't know how much faith I'd have in that frontend holding up. And if you don't build the heck out of that Cummins then there's no reason to even bother. A built Cummins is really cool, but stock it's a boat anchor.
iirc the Ford D60 puts the front driveshaft where it belongs, no?

Maybe it's there to keep engine temps up, looks like it wouldn't let enough air through imo. I have two spares already, one on each side in the rear. I had another one underneath in the back, but its so tiny its not worth having.
