The Ugly

[BroncoJo]

Thanks to shupe I got what will hopefully be my ride in clayton. It aint pretty but she'll do.

1977 (probably) Ford F-250
C-6 trans np 205
HP HD Dana 44 up front leaf sprung
Dana 60 in the back


Plans:
very quick
Motor and possibly trans from my big bronco
-408 m block built and c-6 with shift kit
weld the rear
drop in locker for the front
shorten wheel base
get maximum flex from leaf springs ( will need help and ideas )
Find some Tires or get some 8 lug 15 in wheels
Make a exo cage / roll bar protection system
Find some low gears if time and money are available

Bad ass, this sounds like a good idea with a little over a month till clayton!

[BMFScout]

Keep this thread updated with the thrash, rigs have been built in less time! DO IT!!!

[BroncoJo]

it can be done. probably not much deer hunting though.

[Seth]

this could be good.

[TMatheaus]

do i smell lots of body damage comin

[stx4wheeler]

see big nasty thread for clayton body damage possibilities,

as for the leaves in the rear take out whatever huge lift block that is back there im asuming, then take a set of rear leaf spring front hangers and use them as the rear leaf spring hanger to give about 4-5.5 inches of lift depending on where you weld or bolt the hangers to, and it will give good flex. The front i would prolly try and find some stock springs off of something that are the same width and length as your current front springs and run those, or fab a set of the chevy 52's that clarke and cook are using.

Narrow the front like i did to my truck, heck ill give you the narrowed hood off big nasty for it. It only took me like a weekend worths the work to do this minus cutting and rewelding the hood, and could be done faster if you dont really care about looks, i.e leave the front grille shell off. For the rear i would just take off the bed, also if you want my old half doors that are all beat up i will give you those as well. Hell if you wanna save the fender to which look to be in good shape for your bronco, then ill give you my cut fenders as well. So then you wont have to really worry about the body, and it will have already had two clayton trips on it.

Ugly, huh? I'll allow it, but remember I've got Uglytruck and Ugly Girl copyrighted
looks like fun, the progression of buildup and then wad-up should make for a fun slideshow

The fenders are ****ed, that picture makes it look alot better than it does.
I would really like the doors, that would save me alot of time.

Could I borrow them to see if they would fit or how much grinding will be required?
