FYI...weight of a crated 14FF with disc brakes

[thatK30guy]

I took a crate with a totally rebuilt 14FF with brand new 4.10 gears and Detroit Locker, complete with brand new disc brake system, calipers included, to Forward Air terminal in K.C. today.

The crate weighed in right at 460 lbs. I would estimate the wood crate I built to weigh around 60 lbs. or so.

Just for your future estimates, figure on the weight I quoted above. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

I have crated a complete 14FF with the 13" drum brakes and that weighed in at 520 lbs. /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif

60 lbs. of brakes makes a lot of difference on these big heavy axles. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

Oh yeah, this 14FF I rebuilt is going to the San Francisco Forward Air terminal for James (rampage) to pick up. /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

How about mailing one down here to Wichita? /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

You are only 100 miles away!!! /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif

Seriously, I can build you one and deliver it to you, too! /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

How much for a 14bff? I'm too poor right now but in the future I'm going to be needing one and a 8 lug D44 or conversion for the front 10 bolt, but I don't have the tools or knowledge to rebuild/regear axles.

I highly recommend using 'Wes' Rear End Service' for all your 14B needs.........did a great job on mine last year. Nice crate he builds too........ /forums/images/icons/tongue.gif
