    Kinda. I have one on the front of Pigpen and it works when I am using the front winch to pull someone else. But, I dont think they are designed for constant use as mine has recently started to get HOT as **** and get stuck locked, which is a major PITA.

    I was reading through pigpens build thread and saw somebody mention half doors with coolers in them, and I was bored so I pulled up google sketch and drew this... This is by no means accurate, just an idea. The thing on the left of the lid is the door latch.

    The doors will be one of the first thing to get ****ed up beyond use.

    I was working out at the farm today and got pictures of the vin and a few things on the truck. Here's some info:
    4x4 F250
    360 V8
    Made in Kansas City in September of 1970
    Originally Seafoam Green exterior
    NP435
    4.10 D60 rear
    D44 front
    Originally sold in Houston
    Black vinyl seats

    The only thing that strikes me as weird is that the vin plate is coded for long wheel base and flareside. Did Ford ever make anything like that? I attached a picture which is annoying to decode because it's covered in paint.
    Also, do I have to swap in a different NP435 do put a non-divorced transfer case on it?

    Edit: I used this site for to decode the vin.

    I want it to look something like this whenever I get around to actually building this.

    It would be easier to buy a raptor right? Or maybe it would be easier to cut it to pieces and take it to the scrap yard right now.

    I've been reading on pirate and a few other websites, and can't come to a solid conclusion about divorced t-cases. Some say that they are just as strong as a non-divorced t-case but I would think that having extra u-joints would be a problem. I also read that divorced t-cases offer better driveline angles. I don't know of anybody in the club running a divorced t-case so I'm assuming that it'd be better to swap transmissions for a 4x4 trans.

    Yeah, I know it's a later model truck, I'm just talking about the general style of the build.

    Yeah, I saw that while reading through cooks thread the other day. If they sold that front end somewhere I'd definitely consider a prerunner build. I already have those same rims on my F-150.

    Not being able to buy that fiberglass front end is what worries you about a prerunner build??

    No, but why would I buy that fiberglass front end and then go crawling with it and try to squeeze it through the trails? It's not like we have a bunch of places to use a prerunner build in Texas anyways.
