D44/9" Swap

[410Fortune]

ahhhhhh the weather. Friggin snowed for 7 days last week, then cleared up and was 60, then it snowed again yesterday, now we're back to 60.
Love Colorado.

More snow = more $$$ for propane so I can finish my conversion

That woud be a long drive for you, Once the time changes I just need a couple of nice evening after works like we were having a couple weeks ago, and I'll have er dun

Not too bad. I have to drive to Olympia once a week anyway, Tis not that much further. Besides your saying that to someone who puts over 10,000 miles on his truck through just the summer

Dreamr-what days and what time are your in Olympia, once I get started maybe you could swing by.

 

[dreamr]

I think I am down there (Olympia) next Wednesday. Should be off around 5 or 6.

So JR in regard to that conversation we were having by PM. A little bird in a Cage e-mailed and told me to find a D44 from a 72-75 EB or one cut down to those specs. Any leads????

 

[jrgaylor]

I got the 44 out of the truck tonight and I am not suppose to have to work this saturday so I should be able to get the 44 and 9" torn apart to prep for new gears etc..
I found the long side of the 44 to have some loose plug welds

410- If you still want those shock towers I got them off

 

[XplorerKid]

you using the Explorer to hold up the truck???


Should look good when you get it all done, what size tires you gunna run?

 

[bmxking5]

At first I will run the 33's that I have now since they are almost new,unless I come across someone who wants to give me $500 for them, but the future holds 36-38 swamper iroks. A friend on mine has some 39.5 Iroks on his 4runner and I have been impressed with them.

There you go Caleb.

GO WARN!

Are you going to use the trac bar mount? I have the same one but think it'll get ripped off unless it's beefed up a crap load.

 

[jrgaylor]

I am intending to use the trac bar mount, I will have to wait till I start building the coil bucket spacers to know for sure.

 

[CodePoet]

Just to let you know. From what iv'e found out if you used a set of 70-73 f150 buckets they stick out far enough to mount the springs well. I had a brain fart, this is a 79 axle? that info is good for the 78-79

I edited the title because a deal has been reached on the doubler and should be finalized early next week.

 

[brnbomr]

who are you going to have make your doubler? this truck is going to be so sick i can see it already. nice work.

 

[jrgaylor]

I was going to install a T & M doubler but it has been sold, passed on to another forum member.

The title still reads "...and doubler install". I'll fix it if you want.

Please do, I guess I didn't get it all

 

[Positive Vibes]

Who'd you sell the doubler to???
