Dude…
15x14 Bart Super Trucker Wheels
8x6.5 Bolt Pattern
Custom ordered with 3.5” Backspacing and no pinstripe
20 years old and long discontinued. Had one set of tires mounted on them and were never bolted on to a truck. They have been stored inside. Perfect for your vintage 4x4 build!
1000 cash
Hubcaps are dope though. But nice bart 14”ers are out there!
Hear me out.
I’m thinking about putting the ford high pinion 60 in here and using a driver drop 241 instead of the 205.
The 241 is 18.5 long and the 205 is 19” long. Practically negligible for the rear driveshaft.
Now for the front shaft I have to make one but dang look how low that low pinion is.
Then that will give me room for a honkin 5” exhaust too.
Literally no drawbacks except the labor.

You'll have to change to red knobs.
Yep, but I put it on the correct side where it belongs.
The entire driveshaft is above the leaf spring
Good idea. The burb doesn't need a high pinion for street duty and little tires.
I never noticed that, so you relocated the tubes to make it passenger side?
If OBYUAN uses an O.G. ‘79 high-pinion Ford D60 it will damn near be a bolt in as is as far as leaf springs are concerned - I assume that’s what he is doin ?
I don't believe it is.
It looked more like early 2000
Where is this mysterious beast?
It's his blue 77 long bed k20 in his avatar
I guess he switched to his Camaro but it used to be his avatar for a while.
Yes. Do it.
could also run a ford 205, but driver drop 241 will be easier to find

I believe its a early '90s ford dana 60 he cut and welded to be for a chevy.
Are you talking about @obijuank5 ?
He just picked up a d60 housing missing outers I think from pnp.
The one in his forever truck is a d70 that he built
Have you already set the caster on the new housing? It would be worth the swap to me to have the right caster on a lift that big.
Yeah y’all are right. For clarity, this is a 91 ford 60 I cut into a 79 ford 60. Staying driver drop. I guess now is the tricky part of finding a gm 241 and the right year 29 spline input gear. I do like the fact that the 241 output shaft doesn’t have any lubricant holes in it to make it weaker. The 241 is definitely stronger than the slip yoke 205 I got now.
Another option, though i know you have rear shaft already, would be divorced tcase. Then you pick where you want the tcase and drveshaft lengths, and run cable shifters. You plenty of wheel base. Then you wont need any sort of fancy high angle front driveshaft
