Let me run my plan by you guys to see if there's a problem in my thinking
Military 1 tons - D60 front, 14 bolt rear with detroit
front build:
D60 front had spring centers of 31.5
say my yota springs are 27" center to center (need to measure tonight)
Take 4.5" out of the long side
chromo shafts and joints
weld front diff
grind calipers to 15" wheels
drive flanges
shave it and put a good cover on
high steer arms
freshen up bearings and seals
rear build:
shorten long side to use a short shaft
that'll take it from 67 to 61" WMS
disk brakes
shave it and put a good cover on
so front will be 64.5" WMS and rear will be 61"
I'll get some 15" 8 lug rims and hope to be under 80" wide
Beat the piss out of it the rest of this season - selling all my yota stuff to recoup some money
then this winter I'll throw an extra leaf or two in and get some 37's and 17's
Anything I'm overlooking?
Yes I know it'll be an anchor but it won't break
Will 64.5" WMS and a 35x12.50 be under 80" wide outside to outside?
