These 2 pics are still the duelly rear end

I can see the back sits out about an inch or so wider than the front.

Got the skyjacker 6" or 6 block ubolt kit from Jack it. Ordered on Monday, shipped on Wednesday, and arrived Friday.

Went to silver Dollar City with my Dad and son, when I got back I went to work on getting the 5.5 inch blocks in. Not quite done but here is how it looks tonight.




The 79 F250 Explorer on the left with Bandit, my 79 F250 7.3 idi Diesel.

The bed needs to be moved over a little bit on the passenger side. I had this issue when I put the Dana 70 under it the first time. I was wore out and I'll have my son help me tomorrow.

Got the back 5.5 blocks installed. I just placed the front clip on so I could mow where it was. Tired of mowing around it. Lol

Love the stance.

Replaced the back sliding glass lock on it too. I had some extra parts from looking for the 77s sliding glass lock.

This truck I plan on being a work truck of sorts...F350 Dana 70 rear end with the F350 springs with overloads. I have a low milage 400 sitting in my garage for it. Most of this truck was built from parts left over from my other trucks.

Going to be hard not to call this truck Bullet. This was found today in the heater box. I think there are at least 50 various live rounds here....not counting at least 30 live 223 rounds, and other various rounds I've found in it. Lots of spent rounds too. I think this guy hunted from his truck....lol Painting it like my Grandpa' s White F250 explorer now even feels more right. Grandpa would be proud. Lol

I was in a hurry to get it rolling. Now, I'm wanting some more square footage in my garage, so I want that motor out of the garage and in this truck. Lol I've had most of the parts for this truck, so it hasn't cost me much at all.

Painted the engine bay with blitz black from John Deere. I really like it...might have to go with this color on all chassis.
