Why offset the axles

65sub · 12-29-2015, 10:58 PM

Cool looking truck. Good to see you're still making progress.

There are two driven axles. The front axle is centered as you would expect, but the 2nd axle is offset to the right to line-up with the secondary output on the transfer case.

Ah i see..that explains it. .thanks

HotRodYJ · 01-03-2017, 01:28 PM

Let's see, where did I leave off on this thing? Oh yeah about a year ago, new Dutchman Chromalloy axle shafts installed and brake rotors on the rear. If you didn't already know, AWD Astro van front rotors have the same 5 on 5" bolt pattern that we need. Dutchman because they are the only place in the country that could make the length I needed, and Chromalloy for the same reason. These are the only blanks they have in my length! Should never have a problem with breaking these things.

smbrouss70 · 01-03-2017, 03:19 PM

I've been wondering if you still had this one, or if you finished it.

HotRodYJ · 03-17-2017, 02:48 PM

6 wheel disc brakes and new SS-6 bags installed. Polished aluminum fuel cell arriving Monday.

Hop · 03-19-2017, 12:02 PM

This will be jaw dropping when you finish. Great work.

flashed · 03-19-2017, 01:17 PM

Wow ,just now seeing this one ,Im in for the rest .

HotRodYJ · 03-20-2017, 08:27 AM

duallydude63 · 03-25-2017, 10:05 PM

there is one of these on ebay right now i dont knw how to cut n paste !!!!!!!!!!! item #162439555580

OARNGESI · 04-01-2017, 01:28 AM

Wow such a cool build

HotRodYJ · 10-28-2019, 02:57 PM

All new paint for 2019, base/clear this time. I wasn't happy with the body work first go around. Mechanically it's done other than build the carburetors and put a distributor in it. Not a lot left to do other than it needs some money. Sticking the bed on this thing tonight. Shooting for a late Spring 2020 end date. As best as I can tell, I started this build in late 2007. Every couple of years it gets a little more love. Now it's time to wrap it up.

smbrouss70 · 10-28-2019, 04:18 PM

Man, I can't wait to see this thing on the road! It's going to break some necks for sure.

HotRodYJ · 10-29-2019, 06:39 AM

Bedtime

likaroc13 · 10-29-2019, 12:53 PM

Glad to see you moving forward. It'll be neat to see it all together!
