Rock Yacht said:HPD40 here, yes you read that right. At least that's what I call it. It's still under the knife but will run with a D44 anyday when done with a lot less weight and more ground clearance.
D44 knuckles, brakes and shafts with HPD30 center.
Watch for a write up on it comming soon.

VegasAnthony said:I have been on this subject for a while ...Im gonna build my thirty with Yukon chromos and OX joints on 35's for a t least one season.. when and if I start to bust stuff on it then..I ll start the D44 build up and sell what s left of the pimped out 30 and come out of pocket for what I need ..IMO D30 quality parts have a good resale value on EBAy.....
If and when I built the D44 Ill go with chromos and JE Reel joints ..
and a electrac if its available..
on a Ford HP Im jsut gonna have one retubed ..the 78 ?? years for the tube with that C section not cast is becoming nearly impossibe to find..
just take my time with it and spread the cost over a period of a couple motnhs atleast
Im figure ing a total of about $2200
my 2 cents
VegasAnthony said:I dont why I never thoiught about that..but I still will have to weld to cast metal right??
yoiurs looks good to me..nice work hoto:
XTrmXJ said:... of course Im doing everything my self so that cuts down the cost alot
