Well i decided to junk the front end on my BII! I went out and bought a 91 f 350 4x4 and now i got a dana 60 under the front and im going to put the ford 10.25 under the rear the second i weld it up and finish the front! I will have picks up as soon as possible but havent brought out the digital and have been taking pics with a disposible so when i get that developed i will let you know! Im just so happy to have this setup now! PS does anyone want a dana 44 front and a dana 60 rear? need to sell them!

You weren't breaking axles before were you? That 10.25 is heavy as hell, can't imagine the rear 60 not holding up.

What did you pick up the F-350 for?

The front is a HP dana 44 with chevy disc brakes and has 4;10 the rear is a dana 60 with new brakes on it and a welded spiders and has a hevey duty diff cover on it. The front spindal bearings are worn out and need to be changed. I want 400 bucks for everything and will throw in some extra hubs. The f 350 i got for 2500 and am now selling everything off the truck. It has a sweet running 460 in it and a blown tranny. It has a huge utility bed on it used to be a PG&E truck. IM putting the rear axle in there because i want to step up to 44 when i get the money. I have never brocken anything but i hate to so i over build everything so i dont have to fix it all the time. I can now get a locker in the front and not worry!

sound's good rock just currious about the 460? i have a buddy with a fullsize bronco and he's transfering down here in a couple of month's . he's looking to maybe do a 460 swap in his bronco so any info would be cool might have that beast sold for ya.

hey Phillippi you need to hop on those axles with the 302 swap and a set of fullsize axles you'll be set to go...

the 460 im going to try to get about 1000 bucks for with wireing harness and computer and they can have the old tranny if they want (it needs a rebuild) It only has 118k on it and runs great! I will pull it out for who ever wants it. Just let me know. The faster i can sell this stuff the faster i can pay off my debt!

WEll here are the pics i promised! Her is one of the arms i built. the other side has the wriste arm on it so i was able to weld the arm strait to the axle. I had to do this because there was no room for the other brakcets. I did put the wriste arm on the driver side first so i could have a bushing in there but that was stupid because it made my pinion drop even more when the driver side would drop so it would bind instantly! So nows its back to normal. Also the 60 is way more off set to the driver side so i had to pull the t case over alot to get the driveline somewhat strait.

and the last one of that arm.

I had to shorten the pan hard bar so i cut a little chunk out of it and sleaved it. I had to do this because i moved my arms in some more because the tires were rubing on it. Anouther advatage to the pumpkin being more off centered is that it wont hit my exaust any more!

here is a pic of it under my truck. all i had to do was move the spring pearches over and make new shock mounts and take an inch out of the drive line. I also had to build new thingy for the u bolts to go threw!
