    Busy couple of weeks replacing the driver side cab corner. Called up the local farmer to help pull the dually bed, then got started on cleaning things up. I stripped the ecoat off of the patch panel, sprayed it in epoxy primer then trimmed to fit. I welded it in as patiently as I could to avoid...

    Sal's K2500 Dana 60 Solid Axle Swap

    Front shock setup is complete, some details: OBS Ford shock towers welded to the WFO 88-98 Chevy frame plates with Bilstein 5100 series shocks and M14-2.0x80mm bolts. Bottom shock tabs are builder parts from RuffStuff. This gives me just over an inch of extension remaining at full droop...

    @Sean Buick 76 3.73's in the rear axle, 4.10's in the front dana 60. Once it's on the road I'll make the final decision on which to keep. It's probably going to be the 3.73's so i'm not screaming on the highway

    Sal's K2500 Dana 60 Solid Axle Swap

    I started to tackle the wheel situation. I received some help and recommendations over on the Axle+Brakes section of the forum and ordered a single 16" x8, 8x6.5" -6", 8x6.5 steel wheel from Rough Country. I needed the bigger backspacing to clear the steering arm that is machined into the...

    8 Lug Steel Wheel Options

    I ordered a single wheel to test fit, the larger offset -6" on these Rough Country wheels helps a ton. That seals the deal, thank you for the help @jmccracken1214 and @95burban

    8 Lug Steel Wheel Options

    Dang those RC wheels seem like a great deal! I was hoping for 17" wheels so I could clear a steering arm, but maybe a half-inch spacer wouldn't hurt

    8 Lug Steel Wheel Options

    Hey guys, I'm looking for opinions/options for 8-lug steel wheels in the 17" size. Nothing fancy, just black steel wheels that don't break the bank. What's everything running these days? I'm still stuck in the past with M/T, Pro Comp, Crager, but I see various brand names I'm unfamiliar with on...
