Random build opinions
Lets see some pics!
Here ya go. I cant bolt them up until tomorrow. Ended up needing custom spring plates made, which is a piece of flat steel....but anyway. Getting those tomorrow. Heres some pics in the interum. It looks wierd because the truck isnt setting level.



And a gratuitous nv4500 picture, cus its pretty and I like it.

Wow...... just wow! You are building a tank! Those are some hefty looking axles. Now you just need an engine that can put out like 1200 ft*lb of torque to see what those axles and transmission are made of!
Looking good! Keep us updated.

I highly debated a v10. I know where I can get one reasonably. Id kinda like to keep everything dodge. I realize that the tranny came out of a gmc, but its still a product dodge makes so it counts in my book. 
And yeah its gonna be huge. The only problem with the dana 80 is clearance. That things diff is massive and the tubes are huge. Im thinking Ill ditch the sway bar, or make quick disconnects for it. But Id rather have a huge pumpkin that can handle me at full throttle burried than something with more clearance that might not.
As soon as I get the rear bolted up I can move on to chopping the front. The guy I got the axles from aparently is selling the frame, so I cant get the upper buckets. Anyone got any ideas? I like the ones from ballistic fab but they are an inch too small.
