Old rusty parts?

:eek: No you didn't just say that?!



8 years old parts, newer than my friggin truck! :lol:




:rolleyes:

Attemping a straight axle conversion huh? Are those D60s?

Nice Klitch! You gonna do your own fab work? Farmboy just released some complete kits but I'm guessing you knew that. :D We need pics when this swap gets under way! :beers:

Once I get the rear on the ground, and power to it, and whenever calipers show up for it I'll be ordering the front kit from farmboy fab like you mentioned :)

Front from the knowledge I have of it is the D60 (yay no d50!) and the rear is the 10.5, all from a 2002 truck.

hell yeah!

sweet!! are you gunna lift it more or keep it low?

Oh geez... gimme your rear with those 4:88s.

Gonna stick with the ride height I have now, maybe wind up an inch higher but I don't want to go too high that I cant get under my camper.


B2rad, Im not sure you really want them...

I haven't been nice to it.

:lol: so if I do this 5.4 w/ s/c swap then I am going to be destroying rear ends like this too?

You plan on stepping on that skinny pedal right?

:lol: I sure do!

:lurk: cant wait to see it done

more on photobucket, more at FTC as well.

why do you have such bad luck with rear ends? there are alot of guys with bigger tires and Lightning chargers that dont have any problems.


maybe its the driver? LOL

I honestly question the axle itself, I do not know if it is straight, personally I don't think it is. but outside of that, I really don't know, soon as I get brave and step on it, I get to do it about a dozen times then *BANG!* SHTF. maybe its the load behind the truck, and romping on it that does it in? Terry trailers aren't the lightest things from the 80's that I've seen, sure did follow my truck in a hurry

I wouldnt fully weld those perches on just yet, until you know your pinion angle. If you do a shackle flip, it will change greatly (though I dont recommend it with a camper).


BTW, that is a D60

This should be a good build, now order the parts.

FWIW, Klitch keeps popping the 8.8 because it is weak. a 9.75 would have held up to his abusive driving. but D60's are even better:D

^ arent the D60s the front axles? I thought the sterlings were the ones for the rear? Like the 10.25 or something like that.

Yes 10.25 and 10.5 are fords rearends 3/4 -1 ton. Dodge uses/used d60 and d70 rear axles. The sterling axles I believe are stronger. The strongest of the 3/4-1tons imo is the gm corporate 14 bolt and from what I've heard they are easier to set gears in.

Hey Klitch, there is a guy locally selling some doors that are the same scheme as your truck. Shipping would probably be a female dog, but just letting you know.

Can't wait to the the SAS done. Gonna be BA.

I hate it when shipping is a female dog.

x2, ive got a 125lbs package showing up for me today :banana:

Thats like shipping off a 10yr old

it is like? No.... im actually getting a 10 yr old :banana: :devil:

Aww.. that sucks. Relatives pawning the sucker off on you :lol:. Atleast they warned that there was a suprise in the mail for you :D

^^^^^^ No more mowing the lawn for this guy.

no relative, its a mail order bride

:rocker::devil:

A ten year old mail order bride?!? Sweet!
Hopely its russian/swedish/finnish.. and female.

Haha, can't wait to see it.

Thanks for the heads up, you too Cecil I hadn't seen this yet. Thanks for confirming my suspicion that I dragged the rangers bumper with that big ol D60 in the back :thumbsup:

940 # axles, without calipers. In case anyone ever wonders.

I'll take a mail order bride in German form, or Swedish.
:lol:

JNC, thanks for the notice, mine still close and keep water out. unless something happens unexpectedly I'm good :D

That is what I am talking about. The gene pull is really nice over there if you catch my drift. Finland is the same way :drool:

Im moving :lol:

I was going to apologize for derailing your thread, but we are talking about women, and this thread is about teasing, so we are still on track :ll:

^:lol:

I am with you on that one. :beers:

Women always welcome, they just never show up :rolleyes:
