Westy tested, Jenny approved!

Yeah, Pyle of.......

Sparkomatic radio. That's killer.

Should be a high speed M1008.

At least he didn't install them under a deuce! LOL

Baby???? What Baby?

I would run it keeping in mind that I might need to replace it soon. If you're not going to hotdog it, should be fine for quite some time. Plenty of time to hit the pick a part yards.

The burb axles will bolt right in to your 3/4 ton unless it's a 4 door. 5.?? gears should be hot sellers to the off highway crowd.

Should be driving by sundown.

Did you get 6 lug or 8 lug stuff Rich? Saving an M1008 from the scrapper and making a nice daily driver.

Haha, that's funny. Both are correct, 10 bolt 3/4 ton front and semi floating 14 bolt rear. What makes me chuckle is that they only relocated one perch to get it to fit, that's why it's off to one side so much. I think Doghead and Stretch were right!

Frames do have some differences. Springs are inboard and shock placement revised because the 1 tons could be ordered with dual wheels. The cab chassis axle is very narrow and the tires barely clear the springs.

Yes they certainly did. The Gov't (Air Force) bought many of them. I've owned 2 and wished I still had both. Kinda my personal holy grail to find one with a 6.2 (that I can afford).

Here's the skinny on all this. All 1 tons and bonus cab (crew cab) 3/4 tons have 40.5" spring perch width center to center. Everything else has the 42.5" spring perch width. Shock mounts are different as well. Going to have to move some perches Westy. LOL, ChevyC60 bought an M1008 sight...
