still thinking about this axle swap.. never realized i had a ford 9" and straight dana 44 sitting on the garage floor.. hmmm....

 

[kroussinoffroad]

so you have two late 70's fullsize's now? and you still dont want to go fullwidth on the b-2?

need i say more?

 

[Boggin]

lol,, 'nuff said. im thinking if im gonna go through all the work of puttin in a set of straight axles i might as well do it right hte first time and use the set i already have instead of spending more money on shitter axles..

Look at displerocks build thread. it took him an afternoon

 

[Boggin]

threw a battery in her and fired her up tonight, shes in snow up to the rocker panels and she wouldnt get out of it because of a broken front u joint which limits me to only 2wd, and the bald 31s dont help, and theres nothing in front of me to winch on to, but my brother gets home tomorrow so im gonna get a tow out from him and then ill probably put her in the garage and rip out the ttb.

i would of towed her out with my 79 f150 but she was out of gas at the time

 

[Boggin]

cocksuckin'..

trying to tow my 79 f150 out of a hole. i must say its the first time i ever been stuck that it cost me $450 and i still never got out..

 

[88_Eddie]

that shouldnt be like that......warranty?

 

[kroussinoffroad]

wind too much cable on one side of the drum?

buddie spent a grand to get his stock chev out of the woods after a bad snow storm. THEY had to get a trail groomer to tow him all the way out . ended up damn near totaling the truck getting it out. that was a kick in the pants!!!

 

[Boggin]

nope the cable was perfect even because almost the full roll was out.. but my 79 was bottomed out in a bog hole and she was shut off and in neutral so i was just pulling the dead weight.. oh well

 

[--weezl--]

still shouldn't have done that... is it a motomaster winch?
