skidmarx offroad · 10-10-2010, 03:05 PM

Wow

sams60gmc · 10-30-2010, 12:45 PM

Awesome fab work. Can't wait to see more.

skidmarx offroad · 11-01-2010, 06:13 PM

got my ford dana 60 today and bolted it in. going to have to modify the engine crossmember a little.

palposity · 11-01-2010, 07:45 PM

Great idea for a build! I love anything with a Duramax!

skidmarx offroad · 11-14-2010, 10:52 PM

picked up some 3/4 inch oak boards for my floor today. put some stain on them right before it started raining.need to order some bed strips and make my crossmembers for the boards to bolt to.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-15-2010, 03:15 AM

Very nice! Can't wait to see more pics.

royo · 12-11-2010, 09:20 AM

ANY updates

thirdstreettito · 12-11-2010, 12:19 PM

This is an awesome and very unique build! I have a few suggestions, because the duramax alone weighs 836lbs, a 1/2 ton front axle/ suspension will NOT be sufficient. I would suggest upgrading to a Dana 60/70 Front axles and a 14bFF or sterling 10.5 rear axle. They can handle the weight and power. Great for towing, crawling, mudding, pulling, etc. Just my knowledgeable $.02.

skidmarx offroad · 12-11-2010, 08:14 PM

no dont have any thing new to add. In the thread it says im using a ford dana60 in front with f350 springs and an aam from a duramax in the rear. sterling 10.5 rears are not a good choice for anything.

basemodel67 · 12-11-2010, 08:33 PM

Wow dude, awesome build! What bender are you using? Are you using a mandrel, because the bends seem to still be nice and round. Interested in seeing what you are going to use for engine computer... Nice job so far!

BTW - I don't even go on pirate's site anymore because it's overrun by know-it-all web-wheeling tools.

skidmarx offroad · 12-11-2010, 11:18 PM

ive got a jmr bender from trick tools. its about 5 years old and seen alot of use. i put a duramax in a 69 2 wheel drive for one of my customers last year. i just used the factory harness and computers and used a ppe programer to turn off vats.

sandnuriz · 12-11-2010, 11:29 PM

Great build with the Duramax & Alison cant go wrong

67chevy1series · 12-11-2010, 11:46 PM

ya THAT ALISON TRANNY IS DIE HARD

matthew20061 · 12-11-2010, 11:52 PM

That is an awesome build, looks like its starting to come together!

skidmarx offroad · 12-12-2010, 04:56 PM
