UPDATE: 2-26-2022. Photos from page 1 to page 52 have become broken due to server changes in my photo host. Starting on page 54, I have quoted all of my older posts with photos from page 1, to page 52, and then included the photos that are missing from each post into each quoted post. So you'll be able to see the photos in the original context in how I posted them over the years. You can still browse through the post and see all the commentary, and issues I have encountered, but you can reference the posts and photos starting on page 54. After you reach the end of my quotes on page 56, you'll pick back up on page 52, then 53, then page 56 again. its a little jumbled up, but I am unable to edit old posts, and asking the moderators/administrators to edit my 52 pages of posts is unrealistic, so this is the best way I found to revive the photos that are missing.
Thanks for all the positive reinforcement over the years, and following along!
BACK TO THE ORIGINAL POST:
Im trying to do this from my phone. Should be interesting. Haha
I picked up a 1995 F-Superduty in January.
I decided I'm going to make it a 4x4. Which has probed harder than anticipated.
I picked up a Dana 60 front axle with the bolt on calipers. But wait. That's 8 lug....
Got that covered.
Found a guy selling these...
Yup. 8 to 10 lug adapters!
So now the problem is the parking brake. Its on the transmission. Its nearly impossible to get the adapter for a 1356 or 4407 case to accept the parking brake.
So I found a New Process 205. High angle drive line makes a drive line brake for the NP205. That's going to solve that problem.
So now it'll be 4x4. Just have some loose ends to tie up.
New problem is the bed is 14 feet long! And its flat. Haha.
Sold the bed this week. I need to get it off the truck yet.
I found a 1 year old hydraulic pump for 300 bucks and a 9' long dump bed in pretty good shape for 1000.
So I've got almost all the pieces to make it a 4x4 dump.
I hate tan interiors. So I managed to find a full grey interior with the nice 40-20-40 seats.
Needless to say. Its going to be a hell of a truck!
I was going to sell my 96 F350. But I may keep it now. I would need a plow for this truck too. At least 9''6"
