maltese Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I use flickr. Haven't used a PC in years. All my pics are taken, uploaded, and posted from my phone. You'll get the hang of it. I too would like to see this built. My off road experience has been 100% in California. Rocks, dunes, snow etc. Much different than what you will be doing in that truck. So, like some others here, i would not build that truck the way you are planning. Is this truck going to be for mud only? Build what you can afford, and learn from your experience. Some of the most fun I've had with my rigs was building them. Have fun with it! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Will it be on public roads? Best check if there are laws concerning fender covers. Open wheels usually are not allowed. Quote Link to comment

Pretty sure, in Florida, you can get away with it. They have some ridiculous vehicles on the road there. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Laws or not, you should cover your wheels. Other people's broken windshields SHOULD be a concern for any custom car person. If it's on a trailer till its rock climbing, who cares. Quote Link to comment
Lakec423 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 in Florida I can stack 6 inches of blocks in the front and the cops don't care Quote Link to comment
Lakec423 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 And we'll see how things go i like the ifs but you can't put big wide tires on it with out cutting the truck up all to hell I like Toyota axels I love them but I want the Chevy axels Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Then chevy it is. Sometimes you work with what you have on hand. Will this be ok on the street? Quote Link to comment
Lakec423 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 We'll find out I'm not scared to tag it and run it its gonna be safe Quote Link to comment
Lakec423 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I found this old rc truck body on Facebook and I was wonder if I can find the bed that is on it I have never seen one like it Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Chevy Luv would be the closest in size, but I've seen modified F100 beds on mini trucks too. Anything is possible. Quote Link to comment
OneFreakyMF Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I run an 81 on full size Chevy axles. Started off with half tons, 4.56 gears, 33 inch boggers. A 2wd oil pan helps with clearance between it and the drive line. Graduated to 36 inch Iroks. That's when the T-100 gave up! Blew two holes in it. Swapped in a divorced np205. I make my own drive lines out of square tube. They are not street worthy because they'll never balance out but my rig is a trailer queen. I'm more concerned about it's strength. The stock power steering box has held up great. The pitman arm, not so much. I've had to replace it a couple times. I'm now running tons, 5.13 gears, Detroit's, and 37 inch PBR's on TMI beadlocks. The stock Z22 with a 38 Weber is only running on hopes and dreams at this point and the clutch isn't up to the task. I have a 4.3 sitting in the garage waiting to be swapped in after I get the wife's 620 on the trail. A road worthy build will not be cheap. You will need A LOT of gearing. Depending on you tire size you want to run, you'll need at least 5.13s. I talked to two custom drive line shops and both didn't have a solution for me when I was running the T-100. Ended up having to make my own adaptor to run a 1310 double carden joint up front. Short of full hydrologic, you'll have a hard time steering that 10 bolt. Might be able to swap in a machined D44 knuckle with a high street arm. I'm very proud of Ugg (my rig). Just know that NOTHING is easy when building these rigs. Good luck man.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Go to " 620 4x4 conversion " ( a build thread ) The answers to your steering questions will be there. Page 3 Not to ring my own bell.... But you might want to read the whole post. I've been doing this for a few years. Also look at 2 d's build . He's a master. The frames are different but the process is the same....... 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Why not just use a Toyota steering box? Many variations on pitman arms, you can port them easily for ram assist and are available almost anywhere. The passenger side high steer arm is a good idea to get crossover and I like using the stock tie rod location as it doesn't screw up the ackerman as bad as high steer does. 1 Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 If built right the ackerman isn't effected by a high steer set up. It's all just math. I agree and use the Yota IFS steering boxes on most of my builds. Quote Link to comment
