They tell you to never stand in front of ANY tire when airing up

 

Sorry guys, I have been MIA for quite some time now...

though well I have been gone, we've done a few more d60 swaps and a zf6 swap into an obs, I will have to see if I have pictures.

The adapters are 8 lug to 10 lug and dually adapters. it is a 2 piece adapter because the machinest couldn't fit the 8 on 6.5 and the 10 on 7.25 in the same piece of aluminum with out them overlapping because the it is such a small pattern for 10 lug. Though it obviously has been done before because all the professionally converted trucks had 1 piece adapters like Garret? posted earlier. I think those are Quigly adapters. It would be nice to have a set of those, I couldn't find any when i was looking. Marming Harringtion used a whole different axle I believe.

Dzl jim, the adapters just fit in the 16 inch dually. didn't at first, but a small fillet around the edge of the adapter made them fit in the factory dually. the adapters are only needed for 4x4 conversions. the 2wd ones have a monobeam axle that is 10 lug, and its not an adapter, so no parts there that will be usable on a d60

the 99- 04? f450/550 had d60 (leaf sprung) up front and dana 80s or s110 in the rear i believe. And they had that big 8 on 225 lug pattern and 19.5 wheels.

the 05 to present 450/550s have the 10 on 225 lug pattern. They have the dana super 60 (coil sprung) up front. It makes the d60 look tiny. and s110/135 in the rear.

Don't quote me though, should be right, correct me if I am wrong.

 

Where you been hiding bud? LOL!

 

Great info, especially when I was just going through trying to figure this all out as we picked up a CCLB 4X4 Dual last weekend with 5/8 studs....

GREAT INFO! THANKS A TON!

 

I will ad a little more info to this thread.

I am in the works of converting a 95 F-Superdtuy to 4wd. I was lucky enough to find a junk Asphlund Converted F-superduty by Quigley.

Dana 70 front axle with king pins and Cast steel 10 lug hubs

4407 T-case with a custom made tail housing to allow the drum parking brake to be mounted.

I got the Vin off the donor and contacted Quigley and they were kind enough to send me the whole build sheet on the truck from 1997 when they built it. It lists all the parts for the conversion weather thy were Ford parts, Spicer parts, or one off Quigley parts.

Oh Idk. just busy with life I suppose haha. And trying to keep warm this winter! Plus I got a new job, and I don't have a internet card I get to borrow anymore lol.

I will have to find your build thread, I gotta imagine its done by now, right?

 

Brad, that was a nice find there w the axle and ebrake set up. Im guessing this build wont have gvrw issues like your dually 250 gave you.

 

Or like a F350 is limited to as well

 

Did you start your 4x4 conversion yet, have a build thread? or are you still gathering parts?

 

They are never done! LOL! It's on the road now, but I still have lots of things I wanna do to it though.

 

Still gathing parts. I have plenty of other projects that need to be done 1st

 

these sure don't come up very often.

4wd conversion! low miles.

not a bad looking truck, and not overbearingly overpriced either.

 

Those don't show up often, but when they do, they are over 10-12K

This makes me feel better about the work I am doing to mine! Surprised a PA converted truck made it to Cali.

 

Not a bad price really.
