What a cool project! ☺

I admire your ingenuity to give it a shot man.
Most naysayers just have no vision if dreams.
Do not let their negativity drag you down.
Heck i have even heard a lot of negative chatter about the airboat I'm building.
The ones who knock me for building it are the same ones who would always just go buy an airboat and never attempt to make it.
Worst case scenario your project doesn't turn out to great. ...who cares. ...it is fun trying ☺☺☺☺☺

 

I don't think he will be back...............

 

That is a shame.

 

Buy a 350 like I just did, New starter, brakes, clutch, tires, 460 4-sp pto dump.
Owner said the engine is seized, "get it out of here for $400.00"

.
He was PISSED when I drove it out.......

 

Yup, NOT that expensive. It would be CHEAPER and EASIER in the long run ,, OH and not be a complete abortion

 

So what was wrong with it?

 

Well, his mechanic said the engine was sized, he pulled all the plugs and could not rotate it clockwise.. Said "sorry seized" Sat there for weeks.
I met the owner and he said Got a 350 with a sized engine, you want it? $400.
Sooooo I go there and try the rotate the crank clockwise and I'm twisting the engine in the mounts. Now I rotate counter clock wise, and "pop" the starter gear was stuck in the flexplate..... Put the plugs back in and fire it up!

 

Made it work. Won first prize, too.

 

How did you end up building it? As in the dually rears, but any other details would be good too - and pics!

 

I had some adapters made; no big deal. Complete build with pics here:

For what you spent on the adapters a dually axle would of been cheaper

 

How do you know what I spent on them?

 

Nice work!

 

EASILY 300

 

And I could find a F250 axle, find and pay someone to remove the old one and install the new one for less than that in the time frame I had?

I've got a bridge to sell you.
