hurry up and finish this thing. I'm can't wait anymore.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you're asking but I'll give it a shot . . .This is a great build. I was curious as to why you didn't want to just throw dually hubs on the 60 that was in there? Is the axle going to be farther forward in the wheel well once you put a bed on it because of the shackle mod? Really nice work man, keep it up!
Yeah, I agree . . . it would have been cool with the contact maintenance box on it, but I think I'll get a lot more use out of it with the bed.i think it would be even cooler with the contact maintenance box on it, but still love the build.
You got it. I should have specified front although there is only one Dana 60 in the truck... I figured you were rebuilding an extra and doing a switch, but I also knew that you could just throw the dually front hubs on your existing axle. Swapping beats rebuilding an axle still under a truck any day. You also correctly followed when I jumped to asking about the rear. Awesome truck man, can't wait to see the end result.Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you're asking but I'll give it a shot . . .
I assume you're referring to the front 60. I had a "spare" 60 that I had completely rebuilt, including adding a Lockright and 35-spline outer shafts. It does have dually hubs on it and that's what will be going in, hopefully tomorrow.
The shackle flip did move the rear 70HD forward. I moved it back 1 1/2" with the Zero Rates so hopefully it will be pretty close when the bed goes on.
