well if you're going to get it on the road then its only going to be able to have around a 46in. or smaller tire, that is if you're still going to offroad with it too. a fully built up dana 60 still cant handle 54's etc very well. that red ford with the 54's is too high to have a front drive shaft so keep that in mind.

all of the other trucks have one thing in common, rockwells. you can make the rockwells streetable but its expensive.

haha with that being said i do have a set over here in georgia with everything you need to swap them under a leaf sprung truck if you want them.

either way i think its an awesome idea, one day i'll build up a truck to take to all the mud bogs like mudigras and RYC.

take a look at this f250

If i can get 20k for my truck i will have half that to start off with and then add deployment money on top of that. I could easily buy a savlaged F250/F350 and then take out the engine, tranny, transfer case, and all suspension pieces to sell depending on what condition they are in. Then buy a used trailer for about 2k that will fit a truck if needed. Ill have quite a bit of money to mess around with. Id rather not do all this to the truck i have now as the flareside is kinda growing on me too, but i could get quite a bit of money back on the axles with 4.88s in them, driveshafts, engine, 12inch Rize lift, and other things. Things can go either way but most likely it will be an F250/F350 that will be this big.

BTW i made points for my E-5. Havent been pinned yet but ill get it back dated to the 1st.

 

Right now the biggest street legal tire is 54inches. I dont have any spare money to go ahead and start buying parts but if i sold the truck i would be more than happy to buy some Rockwells you got. But id rather be 4linked front and rear with some kings. But i myself wont run anything bigger than 44s on Dana 60s and the way i would mud in them.

 

well in that case have at it...


I'm trying to decide if I want to stick a 5 speed behind the 351 in my F-250 or go for a diesel 5/6 speed swap


but I've already got the truck, and I'm not starting over

Did I miss the section where the judge or assassin may have a 250 they are looking to sell for cheap?

Mhockey, if you're wanting to go that big, I'd definitely trailer it and get something else for street use. Youll need a ladder to get in that thing. Keep us updated on your search.

 

on another note, what happened to the jeep you just bought?

 

You should buy a canoe and a paddle. You would of beat that OBD crewcab through the bog.

 

Easily the best post in this thread.

 

I wanna say I saw this truck on ebay a little while back and a flat black ford that hauled it around also.

 

I would go with the F15000.
