For the Record:
Fords came with a 6.9L diesel coupled to a NP435 via an aluminum adapter, and a 1356. i never seen or even heard of that combo existing. But its a Bastard truck, so who fawking knows.

I did not know the NP435 was ever bolted to a 1356, very interesting...
Alright to do a rough alignment isn't it 1/8" toed in or is that incorrect?
Also to measure how long my draglink needs to be I need to turn the wheels all the way to the left and turn the steering wheel all the way to the left correct?
So 1/4 wider in front sounds good.
i do 1/8 to 1/4 tow-in
toe
narrower in front, frick it's toe-in
For draglink length I think you're going to want to put everything straight; turn wheel lock to lock and count turns, then put it back to center, put wheels straight (or at least the passenger one) mock up rod ends/heims, measure length. I don't think you want to measure it at lock
CB radios antennas. I have a 4 ft Firestick. Would that be suitable enough to talk on the trail? Or do I need some super badass 10' whip antenna?
it will be fine
Should reach atleast 2 miles like that, but if I were you I would go ahead and get a giant obnoxious one.
Yeah, could make things exciting on Powerline :D
the 102" whips are fun to pull back and 'whip' people with. Other than that, firestick is bueno. Wilson Jr on a mag base is good if you don't have a good spot to mount it that will be out of the way. That is not the most economical way to go unless you want to use it on your DD too.
