S-Runner Sacrilege? SAS 1st Gen on 40s. Much unique. Many creative.

So, I might be doing a thing that will irk people? So I've been told?

I know a SAS 1st gen rock crawler on tons and big meats is nothing new... but I'm going to cut up an S-Runner to do it. (they are precious? I dunno..)

Anyways, normal build list:

• Ford Dana 60 - have (non SD)
• 14 bolt - need
• Chevy 63s - need
• 37"s - have (will go to 40"s, but these were cheeeeeeap! All 5 for the price of 2 wheels)
• NorthWestFab EcoCrawler dual cases - need

Already have a 4wd R150f w/tcase sitting in the garage. And I still don't know what I'm doing for front suspension. Everyone is going to word-vomit "3-LINK IT YOU IDIOT THERE IS NO OTHER FEASIBLE CHOICE"... I've read through many TW threads.. but yea, probably start with front leafies. Cheap.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Good lookn truck!!

 

Thanks! It really is kind of a pile though.. 350-380k? unknown. Bed floor is swiss cheese, running like pyoop out of nowhere, frame is a touch flakey... but it doesn't have ABS, so perfect for my SAS.

OOOHHHHHH, Those are wheels stood up next to the truck for display purposes, I thought the actual wheel stuck out like that and was like "What in the hot and crispy Kentucky fried fuck am I looking at?"

 

oopdate. Nearly a year later.

I got the dumb thing safety inspected! Don't ask me how..

14 bolt acquired (and the 63s); converted to 9/16-18 studs to match the D60. Grizzly locker installed and e-brakes all rebuilt.

Second D60 acquired. Opted to get a different axle that match the 4.10s in the 14 bolt. Found a late 80s Kingpin, all cleaned and painted and NOT from the Titanic like my previous one.

Accidentally received a brand new Detroit locker for the D60 when trying to buy a second Detroit/Grizzly for my dad's 14 bolt; not mad about that. Was only $500 off from new. When I regear to 5.38s I'll plop that in.

I have a major question, if anyone happens to read this; How far forward and how far backward do you (if needed) push the axles when going to 40s?

Oh yea, also have a set of 40s waiting for me to pick up, and a set of Method Bead Grips I'm waiting to be shipped. Anyone in VA want to buy my 37s?
