PLOW MACHINE / sleeping quietly : 237 6 shifter levers !

[sweetk30]

Is that un-visible license plate going to be relocated?

been running the original plow truck for almost 10 years like this and not 1 problem .

but yes will prob make a cool spot / mount for it .

 

[sweetk30]

so today was great outside I had the doors all open . cleaned out a bit . moved stuff around .

also felt like I needed to see it as a truck finaly .

got my new pair of Dayton spring 22-547 rears . also some round bend u-bolts to convert from the other style . even pressed out the rubber bushings and installed the poly kit with greaseable bolts from ord . and hung them on a set of kirt's diy4x usdr shackles .

used the 3" factory lift blocks I got from a member here from my wanted parts ad I had up for a long time.

front is on some super stiff 4" lifts . going to be changed out at some point later with tuff country 3-4" hd packs. not sure yet .

she is on 235/85/16 tires on stock rims. I think she looks DEAD SEXY

she is a bit tall at this point but she is missing a lot of WEIGHT . motor/4l80-e/203-205 doubler kit .

You are putting the doubler in a plow truck?

[sweetk30]

yep ......

had the parts minus doubler kit .

so if I sold off the few adaptors I have and some extra parts I have money left over after buying the doubler kit with triple stick shifters from a member on pirate that sold it for less than new and it was still in the box new .

so I said why the heck not . road legal farm tractor now

 

[sweetk30]

little teeser today showed up .

1 for new truck .
1 for old truck .

saved 200 each on a ebay find .

Nice! I had one in my last Burb in a 14 bolt SF, worked like a champ

 

[sweetk30]

so cleaning up the shop a little Saturday and tossed the transfercase together for this . . . . see if you spot the change I did on the setup from regular . . . I read a guys thread on another site and LOVED his idea so I did it to mine .

still need to drop the tranny off and have the tail shaft swapped over to 4wd .

and my buddy texted me and said he might be ready to sell the motor to me I want for this big ol girl .

 

[sweetk30]

got the trans back today from the shop . now a 4wd tail shaft . also confirmed it was full reman just never installed yet . ready to bolt up to the doubler setup and then a 454 for test fit / mockup in truck frame . still waiting for my 8.1 to show up for me to buy .. . .

 

[Greg Ducato]

Looking good!

 

[sweetk30]

wow what a combo hanging in the air .

then back on the bench . after the pan swap over .

 

[Greg Ducato]

Beast! you are going to have over $150 in fluids to fill that combo

 

[sweetk30]

stop it . . . . the engine and axle's still need there juice also .

 

[Greg Ducato]

You are going to get carpal tunnel from unscrewing all those caps

 

[sweetk30]

[campfire]

naa I already got that from something else

Such as...?

 

[sweetk30]

you asked

 

[sweetk30]

fyi to those trying this . you WILL NOT fit a energy suspension 85-up tranny/tcase mount up in the gap from the 4l80 to 203 range box . and even worse with mag-hytec pan on 4l80 .

 

[campfire]

Yeah, I guess I am trolling tonight.

 

[sweetk30]

fyi the monkey is better viewed in dark ck5 mode.
