straight axle conversion

- Start date
I'm not really planning on bombing out my 24-valve. I just want to do a straight axle late model Chevy. I think I'm trying to set a precedent with how many things were never meant to be in my truck. This project also lets me experiement and learn before I try the swap on my DMAX.
It really aint that hard or bad. There is alot of grinding and welding though lol. Ill have to look at a 08 4x4 dmax and see how there center supports are. Hopefully they arnt like mine where. Thats why i had to lift so high
I think he was talking about bothI think he was referring to the 2000 in his sig with the cummins
this is my old truck that i built and it dint have 30"s of lift but i dont know much and it could claer 49s
Why are you using a 44 front that will snap the first time you try to do any thing with 44s and is this the truck that gives u the balls to talk all that s##t about my truck

I'd forget about the 205 if I were you, it wont hold up behind a diesel. They were plenty tough back in the day and behind a gasser, but its legened precedes its self nowadays. Any of the late model T-cases are a much better option. And will definetely save you headaches down the road.
BTW Kurt where are these pictures? I wonder about your priorites and finances how is it that someone who said the repo man was coming to take his D-max so he had to sell it, afford to dump $4K into anything?

I never did talk crap about your rig. But if i where two no it wouldnt be with this truck. Its with one that aint nothing but a sleeper
Pics are coming soon enough. I had to order up some steering arms and a couple other things today. This project that was suppose to be a weekend job turn into taking me 1.5 months so far. Im going to try to be complete with it buy the 10th of july.
And as far as the truck repo It was pauls truck that got repo. I was helping him out with truck payments then we both got laid off. That why we finally said the hell with being non union.
I dont care what u post on my post. This is the internet i cant keep you off my post. Them comments was not made towards your truck. They where mad towards cliffs. truck. Take it how u want it i was trying to help you out. Take it how u wanna take it hoss
Its cool the way you worded it didn't seam that way but nice build keep up the good work p.s. you should look in to runnin a dana 60 front because that 44 will not hold up
lol i already thought about that. Sorry for the miss confusing chops. Ill be sure to try to word it better next time
Just want to see how you are doin it. My 88 gets a cummins this winter and possibly a solid axle
