My '79 has a 60 front and a dana 70 rear. Hhould have put a space between the 0 and the 4. The rear is out of a '83 F350 4x4 Diesel. How hard do you wheel your truck, and do you have a locker in the front? If you have a locker in the front, I wouldn't go above 35's if you wheel a little and have stock shafts. If you are easy on it, I've seen as big as 39's on a 44 front, not that I would suggest it. FYI- I ran 38's on my truck with the 4 inch lift with the 60, wheeled it hard and never broke a front axle shaft. The 38's also fit with only minor trimming on the front corner of the front fenders.

Brian from Cannon Falls. I've got a 1995 F150SC 4x4 that is in the process of a frame-off restoration. Replacing the stock 5.0 with a built-up 5.8. Started the project in October and hope to have it back on the road by March. Almost everything is getting painted, upgraded or replaced. I have found this web site very helpful with my restoration.

MSU is a good school. I attended for a semester in the Mechanical Engineering department. I am finishing up at the UofM.

Wow, just got the tour of MSU, and i cant wait. We got to stand in the room with the chassis dyno, and they showed us all the CNC's and milling machines and some of the projects they are doing. Its all pretty cool looking. I'm going to go for Automotive Engineering Technology major, and i guess you automatically get a Manufacturing Technology minor with it. Sounds like fun to me.

hey, i live in highlands right now. I like it cause its close so i don't have to drive my 6 mpg beast around, they're lots of people around so you'll meet a bunch of people(hopefully some hot girls upstairs), and its pretty descent. I'm looking for a house now but its a good place to start. Watch out for security, they bust the big or loud parties in highlands . Got any questions or want to look around some time let me know, i'll get you my #.

Do you work at all? Where's a good place to get a job. I need one that pays like at least 8$ an hour. The more the better. It will probably be me and my GF moving in. It seemed like a pretty cool place when i took the tour. Were looking at the 1 bedroom thats like 560$ per month. Its the medium size 1 bedroom. My only problem is now i have to find a job preferly before we move in to be able to pay for it. I have 2 jobs allready but once i move to kato i'm not going to drive my 10mpg beast back and fourth to lesueur and st. peter every day. Do you know where a good place to get a good paying job is?
