Time I tried this thing for size, custom width Dana 60 with 4.10 gears and a True trac diff & 35 spline shafts. Wheels are 10x15 with Mickey Thompson 29x12.50 tyres. Just need to get it spot on central, get a prop made, set the pinion angle and weld on the perches. It can all come out to be painted then refit and build the brakes up.

Even more holes I see... What will your high gear ratio going to be in the manual tranny? love my 4.10,s

Looks great, are Dana axles much more heavy that other units?

Don't tell me that was the reg number the dvla doled out to you

is she going to get juiced? Sorry so many questions

you don't have to answer... All will be revealed in time....

Yes that's the reg the DVLA gave me, no it won't be on nitrous! This is how it sits on the floor, about an 1.5" rake which is what I was aiming for. Danas are supposed to weigh 75lb more than an equivalent 8.75, I don't have scales with enough capacity else I'd weigh it. It must go a good 200lbs I can barely lift it on my own.

just gets better and better Blue, you must be very happy

75lbs worth of new holes to make to get back to where you were?
