Like your idea will see if I can come up with something.

Someday I will finish something! Narrowed 80 axles sound really cool.

There is an edit button on the bottom of your posts, it may be under a button/tab that looks like a box with 3 horizontal lines if you're on a mobile device then you might have to go to advanced setting of you can't delete the pics.

TNX for the help.

View attachment 1580887 View attachment 1580887 Hi View attachment 1580887 A great piece I got from Mark at marks OffRoad he pulled it out of his stash and I am appreciative of his share, it will go on the front of this project along with the thunderbird I got from him and sense got it chromed so what do I call it now a 28, 35 or still a hybrid 45 you guys help me decide. The color is going to be 6H9 gray green.

I vote for 35. That was my goal.

And you should paint it blue, so it will be less obvious when I swap mine with yours one day!

Time to get busy again picked my front axel from Rough Stuff this week now complete at both ends of the frame. Georg at Valley is getting my Harrop lockers ready for install, yep inching my way forward. These are a thing of beauty for sure. BTW they are both 60 width.

Went down to Stockton wheel and dropped off 5 Toyota 16”split wheels. They are going to put 17” barrels on the centers that are 8” wide. My plan is to run 1250 35s talked with Georg at Valley just down the street and he thought that set up would be good for my set up and usage. Things are moving forward, I am a happy boy.

Been thinking about a suggestion from Mark from Marks Off Road to change the number designation of the 40-45. Being that it has a conglomeration of 25 through 45 parts it seems right to change the name of the truck so it has its own number/designation. So Mark my friend I am changing the title of this to Skips 35 I like the ring of this and therefore so be it.

Just picked up these 25 emblems from a guy here name is mike, a great guy in sharing a detailed repo set for the 35 side aprons. It is fun to slougth out these cool pieces to give the ol truck a special look.

Update
Georg at Valley is coming along with the rear ends as well as the transmission and T case. Sending the 60 steering box to Texas to get overhauled, and ported for the hydraulic assist next week.
