Loud pipes hide tire noise.

Good looking truck man!

Someone spent some money on it. Thats a slip yoke eliminator kit on your transfer case. Its worth about twice what the case itself is.

Dana 44 hi pinion out of a late 70's ford. I thought about running the same gear. Sounds like for what you want it for it will work great.

Cool stuff.

It's a Ford radius arm setup.

10-4. I was just guessing based on the first few pics he posted. I can tell in the recent pics that its not a ladder bar, but I'm not familiar with the ford radius arm setup. Ford definately has a wide range of suspension setups they've used. One of these days I might actually get around to researching them all.


That truck is awesome... someone definately put some hours of hard labor into it. You're lucky.

Use the stock style air filter cover. Reroute the hose to the battery side where less air will come in from the grill.
