    Rear Driveshaft question.

    I have a 1980 3/4 rolling chassis with the 44 front and 14 bff in the rear. I don't have a rear driveshaft for it. I am putting my 350/350 turbo/ and t-case in the rolling chassis. will a long box 1/2 driveshaft work? Or will I have to find a custom one? Thanks.

    Rear driveshaft

    LOL. Forgot to ask the question. My son distracted me. I need a rear driveshaft for the longer wheel base. Am I going to have to customize one to fit my current t-case to bolt up to the 14bff? ALso what about the front shaft? They must use bigger u-joints right?

    Rear driveshaft

    I am upgrading my 87 1/2 ton rear axle to a 14bff. Also I don't know what t-case I have. I have the TH350 trans. Also going from short box to long box frame due to major rust holes and a great deal. Any insight from the pros?

    Frame Question.

    I will be using my 87 hood,fenders,radiator support, and cab. I just needed a better frame. I still want to use my gaud headlight set up. If this frame won't let me do that then I guess I will have to sell it. Can I do this swap with out a shit load of customizing?

    Frame Question.

    Not much trouble at all for me. The PO sprayed the frame with something and water got behind it and the frame is very soft in quite a few spots.

    Frame Question.

    I posted in my other thread but only got 1 response. So here we go. I have an 87 4x4, I purchased an 80 3/4 frame with axles. Frame is a lot better than mine. Will my 87 front end bolt to the 80 frame? If not what will I have to do to make it work? Thanks.

    What do you mean body mounts? the ones on the frame or buy new rubber bushing kit for an 80? It came with a radiator support but I will be using a new 87 one. So I can use this frame? Wondering before I completely strip it and get it looking new again.

    Ok guys, Been a while. I picked up a 1980 3/4 long box frame, axles, box, tailgate, and headers for a 350. Paid $350 for it. It has the 14 bolt ff rear. I am not sure on the front axle. I decided to go long box instead of short. No idea what gears are in it or anything like that. If it is junk I...

    Shackle Flip Lift ???

    Can someone explain to me the process of the shackle flip? Pros and/or cons to it? How much does it lift it? Thinking of going 4 inch with 35's. Either Mickey Thompson claws or TSL SX.

    Exactly. I don't want to do rocks with it. Mild trails are good. Be able to tow something if I have to. A lot will be sand. That is where it has been the most. I have a jeep for heavy trails and ORV parks. It is not "built" heavily either. Like I said, I just want it to "hang" when I do go out...

    Just because it looks good too doesn't mean it can't play. We have different opinions on that then. It will be used and that is why I am asking so many questions to that it will handle some abuse. I didn't say mud bogs. I said some mud. ORV parks.

    You can't run a carb on Vortecs right? What year older 454 is good? 396? SBC 400? 383 Stroker?

    Weekends at Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Only live 1 hr from there. Mud maybe a couple times a year. On road every now and then to work or somewhere.

    If I find a 454, I will have to have it cleaned and inspected. Then dump the money into making 400 HP. Or I take my 350 I have, that only has 1000 miles on it since I got it, and make 400 HP out of it. It has 300 now, but I want more. I am not an engine guru. I don't know about intake/exhaust...

    Yes that was my college ride! 89 Horizon. I'm 6'4" 270 lbs driving that. LOL. Sadly I t-boned a 2500 Avalanch that pulled out it front of me. Totaled the horizon and only ripped part of his plastic off. :shitsweak:

    Hey thanks guys. If I stay with my 350, I want about 400-450 HP, will my 1/2 axles handle that, I think my trans is a th350. I haven't been under it in a while. It has a shift kit and was rebuilt before I got it 10 years ago. Truck has been sitting in garage for a while. (College, getting...

    Will get pics on here when i get home from work. Went to carb so I didn't have to deal with all the electrical problems. Was starting to get those before the engine overheated on me and corked. I want a 454 cause I want one I guess. Would like to have a BB in a short box. I know you can get mad...
