'79 F250 on Rockwells/53's
I have a build thread over in the offroad section but I thought some you may enjoy what I'm building.
1979 F250 460 C6 NP205 Front axle- 2.5 ton Rockwell toploader open Rear axle- 2.5 ton Rockwell toploader welded spiders and flipped hubs (6.72 gears) 53" Michelin XZLs Full hydraulic steering (saginaw pump swap) Front and rear pinion brakes The building starts on page 16 (as of right now) because the offroad folks like ramble. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...thread-16.html Here are some pictures of it Dana 44 8 lug front axle on 44's 2.5 ton Rockwell rear on 53s http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/d...y/100_0317.jpg Test drive to Quick Trip http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/d...y/100_0315.jpg How it sits today http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/d..._3605520_n.jpg http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/d..._5648323_n.jpg |

Craigslist ought to be my main sponsor on this truck. Got the rockwells and wheels from a guy in south carolina. Springs from a local lady that took em off her super duty. I bought the XZL's 2 and a half years ago from a guy in Savannah. All found on Craigslist. I even bought the truck off Craigslist about 3 years ago. Got the hydro steer and pinion brake caliper brackets from Mike Ward with Underground Offroad. The rotors ( '87 Mazda B2300), calipers and pads ('87 Toyota 4x4 Pickup) and Saginaw pump are from Advance Auto Parts. Ordered knuckle boots from Boyce Equipment today. Got the drive shafts made by a guy my brother knows in Athens, Ga. We made the spring plates, spring perches, shackle bushing mounts and front spring hangers. |
