400m c6 np205
I thought the front was a d60 but its got ball joints. Its still to dirty to read the tubes.








Started chopping it up tonight.

 

the rear's a 60

get a pic of the front axle

 

Ah jealous! SAS FTW!

 

The front has ball joints. Its prolly a d44. I get some more pics tomorrow.

I have the fenders off as well as glass.

Im getting a high speed body saw from the china tool palace and going to slice this pig up.

 

and the hubs look like the ones Zach had. im assuming 44. and the ball joints give it away.

 

knuckle



progress

 

Poor truck, lol. It has so much rust.

Keep posting the progress pics.

 

Power train up next. Header panel is the last of the body left.







I think i need to clean my camera, lol.

 

Make sure your updated on your tentinous shots and maybe even for your cameras sake, get it a shot too.

 

Welcome to Northern Illinois Kids! haha

Your pretty good at stripping there. Bldhe

(BTW I used to live in freeport right down the road.)

 

dang thats alot of rust....

 

It wouldn't be nearly as bad but the is no exhaust system on this truck. Also this is a plow truck. Just didnt get the plow with it.


Been though freeport a few times, small and quiet.

 

Kinda stalled out here, i pulled a muscle in my back. Going to finish this job this week.


In my vacation from everything, I have realized I need a VSS option on either the axle or the tcase which I may use this np205.

Anyone come across something that may help me?

 

talk to rngprerunner, he has the tcase thing for vss.

Also that is a D44. I just bought another one similar to it but its a big hub 1977 F250 D44. That is a small hub.

 

Ty for the info zach.

What is the size difference from small to big?


The guy i got this from may have another d60 in a 90's e250 van. It should have the tone ring in the rear. I need to look at it further.

I may just sell this 60, not sure yet.

 

i believe its strength but i am not sure how much stronger. the small hubs are known to have some issues, like what 99ranger4x4 has. The larger hubs I have not seen too many broken myself.

Also that maybe a LP but I am not sure since I cants see it.

 

The front looks like a HP to me.




How about some thoughts on this steering box. Will it fit or is a yoda box better sized?
Keep in mind an explorer 302 is setting next to this f250.

 

its on the inside of the frame so i doubt it will work but idk

that is a high pinion.

what year truck?

 

This is a 78 f250.

 

yeah i see that in the original post now.

 

Not a big deal.

Going try and get that heavy tcase off and get the radiator support out. Maybe the plow bs off of it tonight.

 

Heavy sob out. Trans jack made the event easier. I still had to separate the 30 year old marriage.

 

Truck is cut up and gone.

My take d44 front 8lug, d60 rear 8lug, NP205 tcase. and the front drive shaft.

Axles are in need of some work but they were free to me minus the labor of cutting this up.

 

Dang.. nice *** trailer there.. honestly sorta jealous - always wanted a double flatbed :-D

 

Thats a friend of a friends truck and car hauler.

It is a very nice trailer. I want one too.
