Hey all had a weekend of wheeling in the truck I built with the help of this site just wanted to share a great weekend of wheeling with NO issues with you! Its my 1990 f-250 302 carb 38.5 boggers dana 44 front 4.10's 5 speed. 4" suspension 3" body.

MUDDING WITH DONNIE AT PROC'S - YouTube

 

Cool vid, looks like fun!

 

Looks like you spent a lot of your mudding time pulling that darn dodge!!!

 

oh **** i dont think the body should flex that bad. that body is absolutly solid too for a mud toy.

 

haha exacly cant even remember how many chevs i pulled out that were not only stuck but DEAD!!! Even pulled out a dodge dakota that was lifted terribly rear aluminum blocks exploded as i was pulling him out! His rear steered him RIGHT INTO A TREE (sorry). I think the red thing is a blazer converted into a pickup pretty neat really.


My friends were telling me about the body felx but i konw plenty of guys here who have the same issue. Its not a worry for me at all.

 

That flex is from the frame, and is absolutely normal. My 76 Chevy (3/4 ton) did it, my 78 Ford (1/2 ton 2wd) did it, and my 88 1 ton Ford does it. I haven't really noticed with my 03 Ford, but it probably does it under more extreme circumstances.

I just figured your front tire started riding up the edge of the tracks under the water.

 

The truck was designed to flex like that. If it were more stiff, the frame would crack and split. Pretty good set up, looks like it bites pretty well too.

 

The truck was kinda hacked and packed from the guy before me who restored it but man she sure is fun lots of looks and amazed people when im out wheeling!
