Hello folks!

well recently I have stumbled across a Mustang 5.0 which cost me about $20 in gas to go get it along with some horsetrading it came with a tranny and transfer from a full size bronco,
i seen and heard it run and drive before we yanked it

then i got some 3/4 ton axles from a full size dodge truck , (free) friend owns a junkyard

i will send pics and such as i move forward on this project

this should be one Monster of a JeeP

Dana 44 and dana 60 here are some pics

the old dana 35




no axle



new dana 60 installed

[93jeepyj]

are you going spring over with the new axles?

[YJames90]

It looks like SOA to me. Draw an imageinary arc to the ends of the springs showing

[YJames90]

I see the other project in the garage

[green89yj]

Lookin good. The D60 will be an 8 lug right?

[rockstedy]

yes 8 lug 30 spline dana 60

yes Spring over which made me wet my pants when i let it off the jack

going to run 42" tractor v treads or 44 ground hawgs

tire deal is still in the works

more up dates to follow

the project in garage is a fully restored 1954 4door "210" sedan same as a Belair just less outter chrome

Thats kinda what i was thinking, sounds like your keeping the springs that are on it now. That thing will no doubt be a monster.

[sam.b.]

May want to think about a wheelbase stretch, running 42s or 44s at a stock wheelbase will be pretty fun (you will see what I am talking about if you run them at a stock wheelbase) Also a tire that big is a bit much for a 44 front maybe want to start looking for a 60 front.

[gearhead1985]

what are you doing about the stearing set up on the 44 are you going to have to out board the springs

I had the same response when i did mine

[rockstedy]

the front is a work in progress we are taking this one step at a time ,

currently working bugs out of the rear

then we will tackle the front

i was looking for a dana 60 front , but i got these axles for the price of free and they are in good working order so, i cant complain

[rockstedy]

the latest look

dana 60 with the 40" gumbos



some cut gumbos to look just like swampers yeah baby used my sisters router
