Ok so here is the plan! Thanks for all your ideas and feedback!
I decided to start a new thread so no one had to read through all the great ideas from the other one!
I will try to hunt down some 1 ton axles all the local pull yard!
Front and rear diffs will be welded! hoping to score 4.56 gears.
Going for 63" springs in the rear and springs up front too.(not sure how long) but keeping it simple.
Slightly extend the wheel base by stretching the rear wheel well which will also make some nice room for the larger tires since I am going to keep it low! 22-23" belly. (I hope)
I will also trim the front fenders to make room. I am hoping to add some kinda tubing to the fenders to help keep the body straight when I go through the rocks.
I'm hoping to score a th350 or 400 and a NP203 or NP205 at the pull yard too. If I find that I'll go with the 203/205 doubler. if not I'll stick with the SM465 and NP205.
This will be a slow build but with plenty of pics.
Got some cutting done today! trimmed the quarters more and made a bigger wheel well!
