How'd you do the front axle? Is it the stock width still? I have a '64 Ford truck axle & had never considered it for a set-up like yours. Like you said- the pics are kinda bad, so I can't see too many details.

 

Either that's a model or you have the biggest damn c-clamp in the world!

he has the biggest damn c-clamp in the world. damn big vise-grips too.

 

the axle was like that when i got it. someone shaved off the spring perches and welded on bat wings(they look like the weld-on ones from speedway).i had to relocate the lower clevis mount to clear my tie rod. its still stock i think 56" from kingpin to kingpin. its 6 "wider than the 9" i got in the rear. the front end will look mean with that wide wheelbase and tall tires. ill get some better pics up when i can.

 

Plus you can use up both lanes of traffic keeping those annoying tourists from p***ing you!? Or move up north, add a blade and grade roads? I bet ranchers would love that for herding cattle? Should I go on? You do know 56" is a FOOT wider than most front ends? Thats a big C clamp.

 

I love the c - clamp.

 

yeah most things i have are bigger than most guys...........

 

I lightened the photos a bit.
