Welcome Visitor! Please take a few seconds and 
I've been working alot lately on my build, so I thought it was about time to post some pics.
It's a D60 from a 91 F350. I bought the whole truck as a dually for $800, took out the axle and sold it as is for $800. So the 60 was free, and the 14 bolt was $200 at the junkyard. Both have 4.10's. Scored when I found out that both also had recent brake jobs.
If people are wondering why I used a gm axle, it's because of a few reasons. The width was good, bolt pattern matched, and it's stupid strong even in stock form. Not to mention, their dirt cheap and common as a bellybutton.
I relocated the perches on the 14b to match the rear leafs on my '93. That was no problem, but I also found out that I needed to trim the gas tank skidplate a bit a bit because it was very close to the pumpkin. I'll also be adding some 6" skyjacker leafs in addition to the belltech shackles.
For the front, I'm using these brackets from ballistic fabrication. They look real nice, and I'll easily be able to modify one of them to fit on the driver's side beam between the pumpkin and the knuckle. It's pretty tight, but I should be able to make it happen by moving the upper buckets outward on the frame a bit as well. Also waiting for some Cage radius arms to tie the axle in.
I'm still undecided on the coils, but I'd like to get the brackets burned on and the rear installed so I can estimate what the ride height is going to be. The axles are staying fullwidth, and I've got a set of Bushwacker cut-outs to top it all off. Hoping to end up with somewhere around 38's.
Had to sneak a pic of the can-am in there!
