Didn't make a whole lot of progress this weekend, got the winch bumper pared down to size and got the idea for the new bed in my head, going to be a basic flatdeck, nothing too fancy. Most of what I've had on order should show up tomorrow.
Biggest change has been having a guy make an offer on my 38.5's... I'd been kicking around going to 44's anyway, so, it just might happen now.

 

1992 F150 4X4 Truck (cars & trucks - by owner) Good parts for sale cheap

 

This isn't really a place to advertise your truck. Besides, he's thousands of miles away from you, why would he want to ship from another country for some used parts??


So with 44's are you going to chromo those axles? Oh and what parts did you have ordered?

 

I read in a forum a while back ,guys looking for flareside bed. I thought that I would throw this out just to let people know what I have.

 

I think he had one, I don't know.. there was a picture of one earlier in this thread.. not sure whats going on with that though.

 

Yep, I have a couple of them kicking around... LOL
Currently I'm waiting on the parts for my anti wrap bar, zero rates, a new muffler so I can re-do the exhaust, again, Rope for both winches, a rebuild kit for my powr lock, I have a 16 spline one on hand, going to convert it to 35 spline for the front.
I need to order up some aluminum for the deck tomorrow.
Now that 44's are pretty much definitely in the plan, building my doubler is getting bumped off of the back burner, going to upgrade both driveshafts to go with that too, and I will re-gear when budjet allows.
Going to start with 35 spline outers, and go chromo when I can afford it, hopefully that is before I break anything... LOL
My freshening up the truck for the season is quickly spiraling out of control... LOL

 

How big will it be? I have an aluminum flatbed that was made for an old J10 I have, I wanted to put it on my F-350, but not sure how it will look..

 

I'm going to build the main flat part of the deck the same dimensions as the frame, then from the frame out will be separate, will have a bit of a fender, and be tapered back into the frame at the rear. It's alot easier to picture it in my head than it is to explain it... LOL
It's not going to be your big standard style flatbed, it's going to be a built for wheeling deal.

 

Take some pictures when you do it.

 

Will do!
Ordered tires and beadlock rings today... Going to swap my 35's(my tow pig summer tires) on onto the aluminum wheels the Boggers are on and add the beadlocks to the 16x10's the 35's were on.

 

Saaaaa-weeeeeet.

Pictures or it didn't happen lol.

 

LOL... You'll love my tire choice... I'm not telling until I get them though, I am definitely going to need to go 35 spline and chromo though...

 

Lemme guess...
33" BFG A/T's? Yeah man, chromo's are a must. You'll be breaking shafts left and right with those suckers. :P

No really, tell me.

 

I'll give you a hint, the size ends in .1.... LOL

 

Mmmmmh... Military Tires? O_o
