More like 52's. The Chevy is going to get some agressive ag tire. The Dodge, well let's just say it is not long fo rthis world.

Atleast I know who outbid me now......Sell me the engine.....You don't wanna do the swap....How much did you get the Derge for(PM if you don't want it in an open forum and don't mind telling)

 

[Lonesome715]

I think it was $1300.

Which forum would I post the Chevy in? I have a lot of questions but it does not seem to fit anywhere. It is not a CUCV so I am a little loast as to where I should post.

That Chevy would be good for the Baltimore Washington Parkway, how do you say get out of my way.

Nice project I have had my children working with me since they could walk the thing that I have noticed though it that it seems that they forget a lot of what I taught them. Read this that dad still has to fix the stuff when he gets home from every deployment. But then they did not have my Dad or Grandfather to teach them or a farm to grow up on.

That is why I hope to make up for all this lost time my wrenching on these trucks with my son. He already "fixes" things around the house for his mommy.

So,you gonna sell me that engine outta the dodge?Huh huh huh?

 

[Lonesome715]

I do not think you want an angry read head after you. She is looking forward to haviing her truck re-powered.

 

[FreightTrain]

what is wrong with the old engine?Is it a PSD or a IDI?

A word to the wise on the Chevy...Before you pull any plugs on the axles, be sure to slowly let off any pressure. The brakes are a wet system and that fluid stinks like nothing else. One of my guys was in a hurry and ended up being covered with it. It's one of those things that just has to wear off, because soap just won't do it justice.

Thanks for the tip. Everything on that truck is new to me.

those axles are nasty i have a buddy who used the ose axle out of a c-130 transport tug for a purpose built rock buggy. the axles look just like those. he runs them with a dodge v-10 and 49" tall tires and it still only goes thirty miles an hour

I bet there is not much that stops it though. I plan to run some big directionals my self.

hereis the buggy with the tug axles. that is me on top of the buggy actually trying to get it to tip over. iam nearly 300# and the most i could do was on tire laess than an inch off the ground

 

[fstfrdy]

the guy who built it did so to showcase for his fabrication business he is trying to get going(so far doin ok)

 

[Lonesome715]

Those are some big axles. I cannot tell if they are the same as mine or not, but still very cool. Do you know how much he paid for them? I plan to biuld my rig for the same purpose, just with out the tube chassis. I may even swap over a Blazer body.
