Looking good, I like the fact it’s so simple. Makes me want to buy a k30 now.
Speaking of k30’s did you paint yours? Looks darker.

WMS for the SRW axles is 72". The Ford wheels have a good amount of backspacing, the outside of the tire tread is just at the outside of the fender on this one.
Yep, darker blue.
Man this is awesome! I’ve been hinting at this for years and you did a great job.

What is the msrp for the coil buckets?
Or what's the entire kit cost?

I didnt realize you can get SD hubs with 8x6.5 bolt pattern and matching studs, this is more of a possibility for me. This is likely a much more affordable option to a 4link kit for a street driven truck, with significant benefits of ride comfort.
One item I noticed on the SD D60, the right knuckle steering arm hole wears out making the steering sloppy. We would always swap in a new Ford knuckle.
Eventually the Ford replacement will dry up. Any plans to develop a better tue rod/ cross over link tie in ?

To piggy back off this (no pun intended), will @Hogback Fabrication be making a complete kit for someone to do the swap vs buying several sku’s? That would be great. I’m a possible buyer when time comes (sometime next year).
Also, do stock SD coils translate to stockish ride height? And say you wanted 4” lift, what would be used to achieve that?
(Sorry to hijack build thread!) what you are doing is very cool.
We based this around '76-79 Bronco/F150 coils, a stock coil for those ends up at ~4" of lift. This truck actually has ~1" lowering coils on it, fortunately custom coil springs are cheap and easy compared to leaves (I think these were a couple hundred $/pair).
We should have everything on the website shortly
News to me, I couldn't find much on the internet either. Mechanics definitely get a different view of this stuff though.
Tapers can get messed up on anything, it's either a new knuckle or a taper repair insert.
Given that there are ~300,000 Super Duty's made per year (2WD and 4WD) and this model axle has ~20 year run at this point, they've probably produced at least a couple million of this axle by now. I bet parts will continue to be easy.
Id be a buyer for a kit like this, I just wonder if the brackets and arms would be rock magnets.
The Burb build is AWESOME but the pull truck looked cool enough to warrant a short description too.
Probably with stock arms. I thought i saw high clearance arms online, but pricey. For a street driven truck this is definitely awesome
Will you make brackets and such to do coilovers as an upgrade option? That would be cool tooWe based this around '76-79 Bronco/F150 coils, a stock coil for those ends up at ~4" of lift.

Cummins K30 ORD Parts List
We are often asked "What parts should I use to build my truck?" What better way to answer this question than to show a parts list on our personal rigs! This is the run down for our shop truck named "Cummins K30" It is a 1984 M1008, 3" Lift, 37" tires, 4.10 gears, Cummins 12 valve, Getrag 360...

I believe that is this truck from his days at ORD
Probably no more than my setup has, not sure if you looked closely at it but I have hit it and bent it. I believe your in 37’s so you got a little more then me.

I'd be a buyer of this kit, but I'd almost want to be a buyer with the lowering springs and some arms included in the kit.
I see that you can buy some tubular arms for a few hundred.
Any chance you can become a supplier of arms and spring and just make it one click shopping?
