damnit damnit damnit, nothing ever pans out, I stopped by to look at this truck and the lady told me "sorry but he gave it away", I asked her if she had the number to the person who got it so maybe I could buy it from them and she was like NO ITS GONE!
I followed up on a 94 that someone rolled and they just sold it two... I'm starting to get anxious... I know of one more truck sitting around which I'm gonna try tomorrow, if it doesnt work out I may end up stealing a whole one j/k.....
Does anyone know of any blown motor, wrecked, bad titled TTB 4wd trucks for around $800????? I know thats expecting a bit much at that price, but I know I've seen entire trucks that run for that cheap.... I just dont want to buy it piece by piece now that I realize how expensive it would be...

I remember seeing the same article telling about TTB alloys. I have two TTB setups that are out already and some other parts trucks too. There are 5 bolt 16.5 wheels out there- they are very rare but I have seen them!! Heres an idea- use the coil spring 44TTB setup but use the 50 centersection and then put the 8 lug stuff on from the knuckle out! I know the 50 center will work in the 44 suspension using the 44 coilspring axleshafts, I know two people that have done it. Can't say for shure if the 8 lug stuff will bolt on in place of the 5 lug stuff, but from what I have looked at it seems that it should, but you would have to go knuckles and everything.

I still had the issue of Four Wheeler in the bottom of my work locker that had the alloy TTB axles in it- They are made by CTM and it said something to the effect of limited availability or something like that. I was referring to using the 8 bolt knuckle out setup from a 44TTB on the half ton beams-not the 50, just the 50 centersection. Also, I have seen that setup that uses chevy parts for an 8 lug setup too, but I believe that the guy that did it was primarily interested in being able to use 15 inch wheels- options are always a good thing though. If you are really serious about going 8 lug i can do some rough measuring and eyeballing to get a better idea if the 44TTB stuff wil interchange-I have both setups on parts trucks and it might be a handy thing to know in the future.

I found yet another truck, but it seems like it doesnt bellong to any one, its in a rock yard for a rock company, it has a blown motor and has been sitting there for 4 years... I need to call monday and see if I can get some info on it, maybe they will tell me just to come pick it up.... Hoxii no offense, but I wouldnt pay $1,00 for anything with a blown motor, but thanks for the help...
Ok so what difference would it make if I used the 50 center section on the 44? I think I'll just stay 5 lug because I just found a set of 15x10" wheels.... I have no clue what gear ratio this truck has (the one I'm trying to get) but I doubt that a 300/6 4wd truck would have anything higher than a 3.55....
