New ride + project

[Mudskipper]

I picked up this 96 last weekend for a new project. High miles a couple of dents but no rust and runs great. $700.00

 

[ZacSquatch]

plans?

 

[Mudskipper]

I 'm going to swap all the stuff from my 87 to the 96.

HP44, FF60, 38's, Caged

 

[Russ Pottenger]

Whats the objective in the swap?
Any improvements, or upgrades from the old build?

Good luck with the project.

My old motor is tired. The floors are rotting and I've always wanted a two door. I couldn't pass it up.

 

[SOUTHTEXASXJ]

Rust... Thats a good reason.
In California, thank God we don't have that problem.

Good luck with the build. :thumbup:

sweet beadlocks! what axles are you running 44/60?

 

[Ghost]

What did you do to the HP44 to make it live with 38's? I broke mine with 36's. Trying alloy shafts now.

 

[Mudskipper]

Yeah it's a 44/60 combo with cromos in the 44

 

[ROBZ95Xj]

you gonna gear them axles? o yeah you need a traction bar too, i think those contributed to that broken drive shaft

 

[Mudskipper]

Well this is what she looks like after two days of work.

Tomorrow I start swapping everything over.

 

[ROBZ95Xj]
