Mean Green Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago After a bunch of hunting I found an axle I felt that would fit the b model got it for 250 bucks so it wasant that bad came out of a Thomas cab over bus the center bolt holes were only 1/2 narrower so a come along pulled the springs together into place the u bolt holes were close too biggest thing was trying to wife out where the wheels would sit in the fenders being the axle had no wheels on it but other than that it’s going fairly well I’ll post some pics Quote If your going to be a bear be a grizzly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mean Green Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago here it is with the new axle in I did use the 3 in spacer that came with the axle to give some more fender clearance Quote If your going to be a bear be a grizzly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Green Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago here is where the tire ended up in the fender I’m using Alcoa 11r22.5s in the front and 24.5 in the rear of the truck Quote If your going to be a bear be a grizzly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Green Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago this is where I hit the road block I have the rebuildable drag link the end that went in the original axle is too small I need the same size ball but a bigger tapered shank to fit the bigger axle the paper has the measurements I think that will work . Where can you find thes ? My idea is to cut up a tie rod end and take this part out of it if I can find the correct size any other ideas ?
