Maybe a 4bt in there??
Don...we should sell it, but my wife wants to go a different direction with it. So it will be a parts donor for the Crew. And she said thanks for the compliment, she built much of that RC herself.

I think her plans are along the lines of nutz LoL Last she talked she intends to swap a 2x4 front/rear suspension it in, drop it on the ground with a rear 9" Ford. Then 18" rubber, some fat sway bars, and a built LS Chevy/4L60 Combo. She has some time to think about it. The crew cab and the M37 are going to get built first.
Good ideas on all but I would think along the lines of a Dana 60 in the rear. Dime a dozen, stronger and I bet you could find a bolt in with no mods.
Great looking crew cab! Will definitely be following this one. 8)
I discovered my trusty old wore out IR air compressor is about hatched. I have been meaning to renovate a Vietnam war era Champion compressor I piked up at some auction. Looks like that project is going to be first on the plate...I like my air tools LoL
LoL I have been recently trying to decide if I am going to use these wheels, or sell them. They are Chevy Duramax Border Patrol Hutchinson bead locks.
My issue is the lack of decent 38" sized rubber in 16" rim sizes. But that said I am usre if I sold them I could partially fund some 17" wheels that fit my needs.

The High pinion idea has many merits. I spent 20 min in our lovely -3F weather this morning studying under my daily driver Dodge... I am unsure at the lift height I want to run, that the HP may not cause as many problems as it solves. I may revisit this a bit further when I have the frame on stands and just go ahead and test fit a Ford front axle and measure. The strength issue was one of my motives also.... although admittedly every Dana 60 front R&P I have broken, it was always the pinion shaft that failed.
