mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

That HP D44 sure does look a lot like a D30.......

 

Kinda what I was thinking

 

Wirelessly posted (Droid X)

Nice to see the build thread finally lol... anyways man, gimmie a call again if you need more info or pics. I'll try to shoot you the pics you wanted once the rain quits!

Gonna be ( . Y . )'S!!!!

 

Found a set of black cloth/vinyl corbeau seats localy for 200 come with 5 point harneses. I emailed him so im hoping to hear back sooner or later

 

Fair enough, thought u may paint it since it looked like you were going to need a front clip!

 

Hell if I know, you put a D44, a D30, and a D60 pumpkin all next to each other I wouldn't be able to identify them.

 

I would hope you could distinguish between a D60 and D30

 

I mean I could figure it out just based on size but I honestly haven't spent enough time around axles and 4x4s to be able to name axles and t-cases and stuff like that. I've had to teach myself about vehicles and up to this point based just on my truck, my family are carpenters and concrete men, I'm the only "mechanic". I know every inch and part in my truck, put me under anything else and I'm clueless.

 

Really its not that difficult. Couple of ways to tell are one the diff cover and two the flipping tag on the pumpkin. Lol

The guy took them off due to an incident bring thhe truck home. He hooked it up wrong and cracked the grille, flaird the bottom of the fenders and dented the bumper ill get some now fenders and junk after all the serious modding is through.

 

Update? Hell why not.

Found my tires today. Got a sweet deal that will make some folks shiit themselves.
got a set of 4 37x12.50x17 reds they have 95% tread left, and look soo sick can't wait to throw them on the truck. The reason they were so cheap? On had a small plug

For those of you that don't know what reds are, their technical name is bfg red label krawler t/a kx. So sick.
One with the patch

 

you didnt tell us what they cost though, my pants remain clean

 

250 bucks for all 4. Cost damn near 500 for one

 

Lucky SOB

 

 

I have a much needed bump for uze guyz!

I finally have the truck and it looks better than what I thought.











Nice set of hedman blackjacks





And I found out it is a nice 400. FTMFW!!!



So anyways im about a 1/4 of the way there lol.

 

The 400M is not a huge step up from the 351M, since they're essential the same engine, but that's been discussed before

Most likely you wouldn't notice the difference between the two unless you start building them up

 

Either way it's gonna be **** lol

 

the 400 has a longer stroke which makes is a little more torquey but not by much

 

hate u..... no seriously i do haha u got a steal

 

Update.

Well today was. A good day weather was nice and I got a little bit accomplished.

I got the 9" cleaned up a bit and got the drums, shafts and third member out al with the help of about 10 of these:



Anyways the splines on the shafts look pristine considering the axle is from the late 60s.

Oh well time for custom 31 spline mosers and 411s with a detroit.

So needless to say I have some pictures for you guys:








Made a little mess lol:










Anywho, that'll be it tell next weekend. Enjoy

 

mmmmmm beer. I am subscribed to this build.

 

Beer is always best when using power tools, bull****ting, eating or just whenever haha.

I seem to get more accomplished when im drinking. Hmmm?

 

Yes, it makes everything that much more fun. You are making me thirsty. Good job on the rear end clean up, it is in good shape.

 

Haha yeah thanks man. Its almost damn near chrome. I could see a partial reflection in it earlier
