Bought some axles...sas coming soon

what axle did you go with up front?

 

Dynatrac prorock 60 63.5wms. If I had it to do over again I would go with wider axles about 66-67wms. A lot better clearance and you wouldn't have to use 3.5bs wheel to get your tire out away from everything.

 

Nice, how you liking it so far? Is she driving better?

 

It will pretty much go wherever you point it. Drives fine now,but it started blowing white smoke under boost. I'm thinking its lifting a head. It only does it around 10 psi, under no or low load its fine. I just sold my 38.5's and got a set of 41.5 pbr's. I haven't put them on yet and I'm about to go to full hydro steering.

 

Damn... Why change to full hydro?

I never liked the pbrs... They just didn't seem to hook up when I wheeled with another member that had them. But, I've never used them so I can't say... And his were only 35s.

41.5" Rockers? Lawd Jesus

 

Only pic I have handy and yeah those are mine.

 

Oh and they are on H1s? Nice! I agree on the full hydro.

 

Haven't posted anything for a while so here's a little update. The white smoke appeared to be coming from a blown intake gasket between the coolant passage and the #6 cylinder. Got the heads reworked while they are off seats and guides were shot. My trans was also in pretty bad shape. The oil was as black as tar and smelled like a burned clutch, so I had it gone through while it was out. A few extra clutches and plates, reworked valve body , new torque converter:etc just basic stuff. Waiting for my gaskets to come in and I'll hopefully have it back together in the next week or two. All said and done not too bad for slapping a s/c on a 200,000+ mile motor .

 

just read this whole thread front to back.... and i thought i was stressing over a little spindle lift im getting ready to do.... id shoot myself if i had to worry about all that stuff. Awesome truck though props to you.

 

Maybe you answered already, but did you or do you have some rubber strip for the fenders you cut? If so where did you find it? Thanks.

 

I found some black plastic edge moulding that is used to cover the edges of sheetmetal in electrical cabinets. Similar to this stuff.http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/370639770050?lpid=82&chn=ps

 

Large, you can buy any of the "door trim" at walmart or any auto parts store. I'd recommend zip tying it on with small zip ties about every 8 inches. After time goes on it loses it's glue and falls off. The electrical cabinet stuff dtm posted might be better though.

 

2-part epoxy is probably your best bet. The stuff I used didn't have any glue on it. I used an adhesive sealant, I don't remember the name on it. It is starting to let go now though. 2-part will be my next attempt

 

Thank you. I was looking for a piece that had 3M backing tape on it, I had a small piece from a spare set of flares from a member but I haven't gotten a PM back from him asking where he got it.

They don't sell what I'm looking for at Wal Mart or auto part stores, I've been checking forever

 

Haven't been on in a while here is a pic of the yota wtih the 41.5 pbr's on it. Still got some work to get them to clear when stuffed and at lock. What do think?

 

Nice! I love those pbrs!

 

I think it looks badass. This solid axle business is piquing my interest.......

 

oh my
