JEEP_TJ_FREAK 03-20-2002, 09:30 AM I caught that article too, they were not very specific about the model that is so rare though and they said you kinda need the truck too to really hit bank.

The gears are 5:13 or similar, I don't think he has measured the ring gear yet, but I would guess somewhere around 11" give or take. The whole truck was there, but we like to just strip what we can use and leave the carcass lying. It was under a 50something Ford, had a rockwell T-case and a d70rear with an installed from the factory Detroit locker. Skeetshooter, If you get big bucks for that oversize trotline weight I will be kickin my ass for months for not partnering up with you on that pile of scrap like we first planned:flipoff2: Charles Aarons 03-20-2002, 04:42 PM [QUOTE]Originally posted by Chief Yelling Alot [B] it's the same thing if you want to get picky you can call them CV joints If they were the same thing they wouldn't have two names.
