who makes a tranfercase for this beast
That guy is smoking crack. It would require his "special" t-case in order to use that centered pumpkin.

He is smoking Special Crack, its extra Powerfull just for him
I don't see what so bad about it.
I'd just relocate the perches and install it in the rear instead.

Ya but for $6000.
It would be neat if you could figure some sorta way to set it up for the rear with a rear steer setup

This is the bad partprice: US $5,950.00
Hmm that would sure buy him alot of crack to smoke, so he can come up with more prices
I used to talk to the guy who owns that back in the day. He owns the shop custom differentials. A member here bought the 72 it was originally in minus the axles.
I like the rotatable knuckles idea. Ive never seen that before. But the centered diff is sooo retarded.
So whats the guy like?
He was pretty cool, owned a hand full of k series trucks. He pretty much did mud only, and I think all of them were on 44's running mild 454's. Last I heard he had a crew cab on rock wells, and he wanted to make it a 6 door.
I also don't see what's wrong with this, that's actually a pretty good price, considering all the work involved. Dynatrac is selling front dana 80s and I will bet they cost a lot more than $6,000.
That guy's company, custom differentials, is the same company that originally owned the big red chevy that was in this year's top truck challenge. And that t-case he is talking about is nothing more than a clocked down, divorced np-205

Well one good thing is he can sell it to ether a Ford or a Chevy.
I saw that 72 w/ the dual D80's at an Indy Jamboree a few years back, definitely interesting to say the least. I watched him try the rock pile and it broke a front axle immediately (this was before alloy axles really got popular).
Like stated, no big deal to fit a front end just use a clocked / divorced case or even a ProFab case like a monster truck. Rear steer would be the poo though.

i wonder if this would hold up to 54'' boggers ,in hardcore mud. i want to run a set of 54's, but worried about axel breakage. its strictly mud around here and rockwells seem to add to much weight and cause you to sink and bury up!

He seems to be a cool guy. I've talked with him once or twice. I think he's on Pirate.
I've seen pic's of the 72' it was in 4' in the air on 44"s.
