Im preping my 80 for 1 tons after a recent flop. my yota axles are for sale.
I have a dana 60 hp ford (mid 80s) that I have discussed with a local shop about pulling the tubes and building it pass drop. considering dedenbaur (sp) c's and knuckles. will have arb, 35 spline outers and no selectable hubs (full time tcase) I am planning 5.86 gears and 38 or 40" rubber. (have 38" swamper)
I already have the ford but I could also sell it/trade it and get a low pinion chevy/dodge. will be 3 linked
or radius (not oe arms) . Poss coils-am looking for used on pirate
will be keeping it low and likely moving rear axle back 4-5" and relocating the rear crossmember (the one with track bar). considering 4 link triangulated or just reweld the oe crossmember and keep a track bar. even considering leaf springs as the truck has such a long ass anyway the leafs wouldn't be a hindrance
ideas?
rear is a delema. the rear is pass side pumpkin slightly. would a centered 14b be ok? there is a ff rear 30sp d60 on pirate right now out of a ford van and it has a pass drop. can you get a 35sp rear axle shaft (like a dana 70) in a dana 60 and do they have 35sp rear d60 arb's?
this is not web wheeling. this truck will happen soon
