PLOW MACHINE / sleeping quietly : 237 6 shifter levers !

Overview Gallery Discussion
tuff country 3"hd springs are in the front today and full weight on them . she has bounce in the front now over them super stiff ?brand leafs i had for mockup . body line is now 1/2" high at the rear over the nose high it was before. might have to give it a smidge of lift in the back extra once i am done building the truck . . . 1/2-1" extra . wont know till at that point.

now to get the t-case crossmember setup in to make sure its were it needs to be so i can lock it down and build the shifter bracket and lock them down and done . might have to do a small body lift to clear the floor with the doubler setup . i have a 1" body lift but am trying NOT to have to use it . i want as little as possible. if need be i have a stick of 6061 aluminum and a friend who can cut me some pucks in the thickness i will need.

also this will get me about mocked up at the end of the line . . then its tear down and blast frame and paint it along with other parts . and start the final assembley . . . and do the 454 up and test fire it out of the truck to ork any bugs out before hand .
 
did some cleaning out of parts i had for a project thats not going to happen . found me a brand new flowmaster delta flow 50 H.D. series muffler to use with this bbc 454 . its single 3" inlet and 2.5" outlet x2.

this should make it sound good but be fairly mellow.

i will use a flowmaster high flow Y-pipe unit for the down pipes from the manifolds to the merge from 2.5" to single 3" outlet to feed this muffler.
 
225/70/16 rollers on it now .

was going 255/85/16 = tall skinny 33"ish . . . but I said screw it and save money and run what I have . going to run my 35x12.50x16.5 BFG all terain K/O that are almost new .

they should be on for test fit by the end of the week . plan to do that when I swap the axles under it that will be used on it .
 
just placed my order with http://www.usshift.com/index.shtml and got my quick4 controller unit coming . 2-3 day build out time frame then ships .

also ordered some valve covers to replace my tin stockers and also look betterer AKA :sign11:and if they don't clear the roller rockers I will just get a set of spacers for them .

well this week has been productive yet sad :frown . . . I had to put a project to rest but its parts will live on in this truck and a few others .

so this truck got a new set of axles today and bolted on the 35" bfg tires also that will be on it . need to swap on some rebuilt 13x3.5 drum brakes and check the internals from being stored for years . there LOADED with Yukon 5.13 gears / Timken bearing set's / and ARB lockers both / front has 4340 shafts also with nitro u-joints but I will swapping to spicer life series for street use / and reid racing knuckles / modified spicer hubs with 35 spline inner gears . and I need to remove the ord crossover/high steer for a stock push/pull setup . that will be reused on another truck .

also got a nice used 40k miles gm hood and a bunch of small parts .

well I have NOT got that far yet . but was thinking yes spacer will prob be needed. had my eye's open for some just didn't pull the trigger yet .

pm me @Shawn on info about them .
 
well no more shop roller tires under the truck .also the new to it built axles are under it at the same time. srw 60 front and van width 14ff rear .

she is sitting at 50" body line to ground front and back now.

tad bit taller than i wanted overall but looks killer and i will make due .

I have this idea in my head . . . . . @82355 did them up his pic .

I was thinking of doing the same rim and color on my 35" bfg tires with black letter out like he did .

I have drw dana 60 front hubs and am now running a van width 14ff rear . so this would be a easy swap over for me .

but then again these old school turbines look good also .

Are you running the rear to match the front wms? That's what we did on the old v30 I had. Front was dually, rear was a drw with single wheel hubs and disc brakes.
 
my rear is all van with original srw hubs . from info off the 14ff bible its 70" wms to wms . and the srw dana 60 is 69"

I was just thinking it would be good looking with the h1 rims non recentered like he did . if need be I have spacers for the rear if I had to make them sit correctly .
 
That's what I was going to do with my Humvee wheels.
But I think this truck looks cool with those turbines...
 
got my shipping info today that the usshift quick4 transmission controler kit shipped today . shows a friday delivery date.
