:-/I have been busy again on this beast. I now have a DANA 60 FRONT ! SRW KINGPIN , W 4.56s gonna try a welded carrier i guess unless someone convinces me other wise. My suspension is done now , still sorting out drivelines and steering. Im thinking I want to use a dodge 205 that will bolt up to my 727 . I want to use the big u joints on the drivelines . If you have one please let me know . Input will be appreciated . I have moved the rear axle back 6 inches and am wanting to stretch out the front as well at least three . Front is in for now untill I install the 60 . Shimmed it 6 degrees and clearanced the yokes . We installed 3/4 ton chevy rear springs and hangers on back , and @#$&*! F.O.R.D. High boy hanger in front , looks a lil one off , but im gonna try it . Also thinkin I am gonna use a ford 1 ton steering box and go power steering . Im running 39.5/18/16.5 boggers on back now with 39.5/15/16.5 swampers in front . Im getting antsy to drive it but I still have a ways to go on it . It has definately gotten alot bigger and taller .

Side view , I want to get my 60 in there now , I have to get the rigs next to each other and swap em out . Its in a 1976 scout II XLC I bought . As you can see I still have some wheelwell mods to do , but im gonna wait till the 60 is in and all is leveled out . I want to bring the front forward 3 or four inches as well . I am getting a married dodge 205 monday , cant wait to get a drive line built. Attachments:

Well , I have been busy again ,Whew , damn I have to many friggin projects . I have the D60 cleaned , sandblasted and painted. Looks in great condition , today I am going after the longer u bolts to bolt it in. Will add some more pics soon. I have most the hard stuff done just buttoning up some of the gingerbread crap. I upgraded the steering to a ford 3/4 ton power steering box as well . I am still in need of a few items to complete that also , lines brackets and pump . Its a hell of a process but basically I am trying to go FULL 1 TON! I am contemplating installing a 205 tc on my 727 and lowering the engine and trans , drivelines coming soon.

I did get to drive it a little bit . I dont want the swampers in front anymore. I have boggers to go up there as well. I am looking for a cut set of BOGGERS for the welded rear , 75% or better, 39.5/18/16.5 or (or 15 on 8 lug wheels) To trade someone for my 39.5/18/16.5 boggers x 2 and 39.5/15/16.5 cut swampers x2 . Will post pics and add for trade tonight.

I have the front 60 in now , still need to swap out the gears and pinion to the 4.56(I have them now i just need the time) to match the rear 14 bolt . I am in the process of adding longer shock mounts for the front and a better spring with more arch , im thinking a 4 inch or 6 inch chevy truck or blazer is perfect to level it out . i178.photobucket.com/albums/w254/z28nut/myscout008.jpg
