Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see a front driveline on that blue and white truck.

I was going to guess that it was a parking lot queen (you have to admit that it's almost to pretty to actually see any use), but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt...

I'm not a fan of those rims, but that is one sweet 79 F350 4x4, that's a 10k rig on ebay......easy.

How about pics of our rigs at play?



Its about 4:45 in the morning and I'm loading up the toys to go play in the morning. Just got excited so I though I would throw that out there...........





Yeah well,,,,it happens!


79n40z:

With half ton gear and those tires, you are only breaking u-joints? I have a similar truck with one tons, and I am killing parts.
That is a great looking ride though. I like it...........

That's what I'm talking about 75F350! You may not have 10,000 or 20,000 dollars in your paint jobs (more like $20 of Rustoleum if I remember right) but you've built a couple trucks that actually get used hard, work well and look damn good while they're doing it. Nice trucks!

So far I only really break the u bolts that hold the u-joints and a couple of outer shafts then I changed to chromoly shafts and not any more. Not to much power maybe 500 plus 200 of happy juice

The mud we have here is more soupy than thick and at the beach sand is not really a problem.

I have been running D44's on most of our mud trucks but they are usually 3500lbs at most cuz of class rules and really dont break to often. They are mostly for steering.

I did have a problem with spitting out the pinion on the 9". It would just break the carrier and shoot out and making the driveshaft look like a candy cane

thanks for the compliment, i must of looked at a hundred different wheels before deciding on these, I'm happy w/them but Ive also got a set of stock 16" wheels that i want to put Q78 16 skinny 36" TSL swampers on w/ factory hub caps but i cant find the caps.........just so i can change the look up some from time to time!
