    Anyone use an "Early Bronco"-type transmission mount?

    The running gear i have in my 84 BII originally came from an 76 or 77 bronco. The PO bought the AA adapter to mate an np435 to the stock EB T-case. So now i have this funky mount with 2 bushings that sit at an angle, unlike the other trans with a nice flat mount. I already have a new set of...

    Ranger Diesel Q: Can the block be sleeved?

    My boss knows where a ranger diesel is sitting. It was parked in a field 15+ years ago with no hood and no air cleaner. Today he asked me what I knew about them. I showed him the specs in the tech library, and a few threads I found in a search. Its a non-turbo perkins 2.2 in a 2wd ranger...

    Quick Q: outer axles the same on TTB and Solid 44?

    sweet, thanks! those "disc brake kits" for older 44's are like $500-800. I can piece together my own "kit" for this guy, sell it for about $200, and use the money toward the axles.

    Building frame from scratch? Input desired

    Its cold outside, and my B2 is outside. Time to daydream.... Inside, where its warm. I know my stock frame is not going to last forever. I also know that it looks like 2 wet noodles were used as a model for its creation. So I have decided to design a replacement frame. Something simple...

    dana 44 full width question

    link is in my sig! mine is definitely a "work in progress". I'm sure I'll make a few more mistakes before its all done, haha. oh yeah, if my math is correct.... if you started with an RBV axle with 15x10 rims with 4" backspacing and 12.5" wide tires, and swapped in a fullwidth 44 with the...

    hey, if i didn't ask a TON of stupid questions, i wouldn't have an awesome pile of parts (and the knowledge) to swap it all in

    D44 ttb

    then what about the rear? the only full-width rear axle i know of with a 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern are the early 80's dodge's, and i'm not 100% sure on that. being armpits-deep in an axle swap right now, i have found that rims are the cheapest part of the swap besides the weaker hubs, smaller...

    D44 ttb

    i dont know if you can, but it would completely defeat the purpose of swapping in a 44 TTB

    Is it possible to run 3 link with leaf springs??

    if you want links and leafs, search for threads about "quarter elliptical" suspension oh yeah, coils are cheap. you can grab stock rear coils out of a number of vehicles, and mount them at whatever height you want.

    Stud toward the front or rear? 84 BII, 302 swap, '85 stang 'vert mounts. searched a bunch of threads, but "stang mounts" brings up a ton of reading material. Thanks!

    Front axle: how far forward with stock steering box?

    my '79 dana 44 has some aftermarket spring mounts welded on 3" behind the axle centerline. i have a feeling that this is too much for the stock steering box with a drop pitman arm. think it will work?
