well she rides english and those are about 30-50 lbs but when she ordered it i think there was some other crap with it that tipped it into the expensive range..

but i think unless someone comes along and gives me a TTB, i'm going to do the sas, theres just something so much cooler about a SA than the TTB, plus if i know i got somethin sturdy under me, im not gonna be holdin anything back when its time to "put up or shut up"

plus its just cool!

so does anyone have a straigh answer one the transmission?
someone on pirate4x4 told me it was do-able but id still have to pull the tranny, woudl it be better to just find a tranny/T-case combo and throw it in then sell my 2wd tranny to make up for it?

IF you find the parts to convert your tranny to a 4x4 version, I would think it would be in the form of a complete trans, in that case, might as well just swap in the whole thing.

BUT, if you found a divorced 205. You could run that with your two wheel drive trans. Just would require new drive shafts or re tubed shafts.

well good news for my build!
found a D44 SA, went and looked at it, and it was perfect to do a exact swap following 9.ford.5's guide, except this one already has disk brakes.
and i know its no big deal but it already has retty much new warn locking hubs, one less thing i gotta get, i hope

God damn look at the toe change in that bish when he droops. That is ridiculous. Were Ford engineers retarded or just cheap asses? They could've at least put one of them fancy dual swing steering arms or an idler arm so the pitman arm and "drag link" were in line with the mounting point of the axle halves. bahh I hate ttb!!! Unless you're in the desert a lot and put big money into it.

EDIT-Specs on the rig stealin your thunder? Looks and sounds pretty awesome... and I think I heard someone say it smelt good too (well, like race fuel anyway)

Ya, she told me the other day "I want 44's..."
My answer to that "Buy one tons"

We put new ball joints, wheel bearings and radius arms bushings in her '84 this past weekend. She did a whole side by herself.

But seriously, that chevy is pretty sick. 383 stroker, 1 tons, 44" boggers

The owner of this place has since dug out the left close end with a backhoe and no one has made it through. This is where I'm hopin' the 53's will help me out.
