What is the reason that you cant have your winch feet down?

As for you welding...it looks like you are "dragging" the weld instead of "pushing" it.

10k,12k and 15k all come with instructions to mount them feet forward. I was told it's because the casting won't hold up on a hard pull, feet forward it trys to compress them instead of pulling it apart. It's a better way to mount all winches.

Makes sense...I have my 12K milemarker mounted feet down. I built a bumper out of 1/4'' plate and it tweeked it pretty good on a hard side pull. I then built the plate out of 1/2'' and have put some really hard pulls on it. I hope it keeps holding together :(.

never heard this b4. it does make sense, although 90 percent of the winches I have seen are feet down, including my mm12k. I have stalled mine trying to pull a huge spruce tree, not broken feet..... yet. and yes you better gusset that even if you bolted it on the bottom imo.

I've been neglecting the chevy section.....Or else I would have told you sooner.

All the force from the winch is being transfered through that single weld(or bend, I can't tell) at the bottom of the plate. Even if the weld holds, which it may not, it will pull the plate out, basically opening your bumper like a tin can. None of the load is being transfered to the plate bolted to the bumper since there is no brace. It would suck to say I told you so here;)


whaaaaat no love for the chevy anymore ? the plate is bent. itook your advice and appreciate any and all advice i get...thank you.

gussets added..

lol, the blue ones will be on most of the time. they are big and kinda stick out but the performance of them at nite waaaay makes up for it. most of my wheeling is nite runs..big fan of nite runs :grinpimp:

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/008-42.jpg

You're gonna need to gusset the front plate for the winch back, or it will rip it off the first good pull.

Well the winch itself is acting as a gusset.

I had a receiver with a 12,000 warn which I pulled the crap outta and it never bent at all.
http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af274/79fordwheeler/reciever.jpg

Same with the rear no issues with a 10,000 warn. Thus one doesn't even have the top tabs and is a 1/4 bottom plate vs my 3/8 bottom plate on the old receiver 12,000 warn.

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af274/79fordwheeler/006.jpg

I wouldn't recommend doing it like that. I bent 1/4'' plate with a 12K, I had all 4 feet bolted on at the time also. It was a really hard pull involving a snatch block, locked up front axle (tires would not turn) due to the broken pinion wedged against the case, and a 2ft vertical ledge all while going uphill:laughing:, so yeah it was a pretty hard pull.

It may work for you, but I can show you a bunch of broken winches, in various sizes, and personally am not willing to risk it. Mounting it poorly with 4 bolts is a bad idea, and if it goes wrong it usually takes the winch out, since the cast aluminum makes a bad "gusset". Mounting it with 2 bolts is half assed.
Maybe Heavy Metal will wheel the truck harder than you and have to worry about it. But either way, your winches are a good example of how NOT to do it.

K for starters Ryan my receiver was using 6 bolts, every available one on the winch and the plate was 3/8 as well and was used many times with no issues. You cant call me out for how not to do things on that one!

The rear " maybe" could of been made from 5/16 or overkill 3/8 plate bottom and back but arn't factory warn winch plates all 1/4"?
The tabs on the back winch are 3/8 and the tabs connecting to frame crossmember are way overkill 1/2 plate as it's what I had laying around with 1/2 grade 8 bolts, 4 per mounting tab. Also there's no 2 bolt connections on it there are 4 on the back to the winch plate so I don't know who you were referring to on that one..

I get what you're saying but it doesn't matter how many bolts you have holding the plate or reciever to the frame, You only have 2 bolts holding your winch to the plate. Unless of course there are some hidden bolts threaded into the winch in a place other than the feet which don't show in the pic?
And the comparison to a warn winch plate isn't fair, you and I both know that formed is stronger than welded all day long.

Ah......You have the bolts in the back...........Just got that.

The pic makes it look like you have 2 bolts up front and thats it....And your description sucks:flipoff2:

Either way. It's still not the *right* way to do it.

I'm open to any other suggestions but so far it's just worked. I pull a 6000lb rig on 44's so it's been put through alot..

Anyways I scrapped the reciever and built myself a custom 3/16 bumper that I powder coated as it gives a much better approach angle as it's higher and more recessed back by quite a bit

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af274/79fordwheeler/done2.jpg

If you don't know by now I ran this grey truck in tough trucks 2 years ago..

O shit my bad man I see now I don't have bolts in the bottom in the pic.
I had it out before that pic. There are 2 bolts that go up through the bottom
:homer:

holy shit. i was just looking at pg 1 and its incredible how much this thing has changes, it docent even look the same lol. good work

ok i took another pic with the bolts installed. Cant see the top 2 tabs bolting to the top but it clearly shows the front ones on the tabs and the mounting plates to crossmember

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af274/79fordwheeler/005-1.jpg

Ok back to this build thread just thought I'd show you how I did it with no issues..

am i doing anything wrong with my welding?

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/009-35.jpg


O I also have a tip for you on the welding. You may want to slow down your wire speed a tad for more control but without going to cold on the volts. Also the key to making it look pretty and give it strength is to have the proper joint prep. I like to use an open corner joint for a full pen and also stitch weld the inside ( 2 inch welds every foot or so). If you do a butt joint like the bottom pic you have to run a grinder wheel down the entire joint to make a slight groove (chanel) to get better penetration but also make it look much nicer as it doesnt look bulky

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af274/79fordwheeler/joint.jpg

Heres an example of my rear winch bumper I did with a open corner joint which makes it really easy to weld as i do a 45 degree bottom left to top right weave of the puddle from left to right direction of welding. light holes were setup the same. You just have to cut you material shorter(material thickness) in plans to push steel out on edge for the open corner joint if your picking up what I'm laying down

I like the kill sign! Cool.

Looking good. Question your 12voltguy winch switch is it the spring loaded back to center toggle? I have 2 of the same ones on my dash but opted for the toggle type switch that stays in position when engaged so it's entirely hands free. When I asked them for them they even sent them for free and just mentioned to be carefull not to leave them engaged.
Also I picked up some cool wireless remotes for mine on eBay cheap too that even have different frequencies to run both the front and back. I keep em on my visor clipped on and labeled front/rear.

thank you.. no not yet. it is on my list tho.

well, i completely tore my front diff apart and found nothing broken :confused: wtf?

on a side note.. i bought these used axles and was told they came out of chevy d60. they are 35 spline but alot longer then my stock ones... what ya think i have here? ford?

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/007-57.jpg

My guess is from left to right

#2 is a chevy shortside innner axle.

#3 is a Dodge shortside inner axle.


Chevy: 17.67 from end of splines to center of joint
Dodge: 15.97 from end of splines to center of joint
Ford: 18.68,19.01,15.96 from end of splines to center of joint

Awesome build. Some great pics and I love the originality. Keep up the great work!:smokin:

well i figured out what my 4wd problem was..pass side warn premium spring has collapsed and is not pushing my collar on :(. so i used a glo stick again and wheeled for four days :D. i will be ordering 35 splines and custom drive flange from NWF but was layed off last week so that kinda changed plans abit :mad3:

What brand 35 splines?
I got a set of Nitro 35 spline chromoly stubs from them for very reasonable. Lifetime warranty unless it's failure is from ujoint break.
So far they've held up
I went with matching warn premiums though for running on the street.

well i figured out what my 4wd problem was..pass side warn premium spring has collapsed and is not pushing my collar on.

Exact same thing happened to my Warn "premiums". Replaced them with the cheap warn dials from a ford to make the weekend, waaaay better design. Makes a fuck of a bang when then disengage eh? lol

I love this picture after stalking your build for awhile, very cool to see it all come together and out on the trail.

thanks man!

Finally made my way through reading the whole build----great work!

I'm digging the P40 theme, but can't help thinking how much you might have enjoyed seeing Soni Honegger's "War Wagon" Dodge Ramcharger up close. I was fortunate enough to have that beast at my shop for a few months a couple years back. What Soni did with the military theme was astounding---right down to the 1/2" thick steel plate dashboard (not an exaggeration).

That build parallels yours in many respects...originally a Ramcharger, but evolved into a pickup cab on the Ramcharger chassis, with a custom bed, big block, 1 ton running gear...etc.

Here's to hoping that you manage to keep the overall weight reasonable (not 8500 pounds like the War Wagon).

Luv it. One of the best budget builds I have seen, no, strike that... this is one of the best builds I have seen, ever. Well documented and humble builder. I think your project has been such a success because you are not afraid to ask for help, and you take the advice given. Thanks for the thread.

and thank you for the compliments. have a great day bud !

I have learned a ton both doing the build and reading and asking on here...very appreciative of all advice given :)

thats the best woman in the world bro ( no offence to yours or anyone elses) been together 8 years. my best friend, business partner, lover, mother of my child. shes not into wheelin so much as she gets scared but doesnt say peep when im gone camping for five days at a time and out wheelin every other weekend. not to mention the countless hours i have spent on the airplane. i love my gal! and if you guys do as well.... give her a hug today and say thanks!

cheers Burt.

Didn't the old Allison V12's in the P40 have two exhaust valves / two exhaust headpipes per cylinder? Pretty sure you're not running a V-6. Of course, half of an Allison under the hood would be one BMF......

hmm.. i went with 6 pipes per side . i thought thats what i counted on the P40...your makin me go check lol.

yup..i was correct, 6 pipes per side. :)

Carry on.....!

Haha...The other kids will be jealous of that bike, nice work. Oh and the truck looks good too!

Edit. I'm sure you could get some side pipes on the bike too!

love the daily...

I only have one suggestion, that would be some bracing on the cage. You seem like a real nice guy and your kid is cute as could be. I'd hate to see anything happen to either one of you if you flopped her over. That's A LOT of rig for ANY cage to hold up, give yourself the best bracing possible.

thanks Dook, but thats my room mates car. my Daily is a F150. ya know its funny you mention this as i was looking at the cage last nite. i am thinking of adding a brace from a pillar to b pillar and diaganol ( sp?) across the back...that should help no? thanks for the compliments and any advice given is greatly appreciated. cheers! :)

I'd probably do a large X across the back. a "door bar" would a to b would work wonders. I'd probably throw some small gussets on the roof bars.

some things need adressing.

thanks for the tips... headin to steel shop today :grinpimp: will do exactly as advised.. cheers !!!

took the family out for light wheelin yesterday. had a blast and got to flex her out, lovin the alcans..

the fam..

looks really good now. to be honest when i first saw this build start awhile ago i didnt like it with all the decals and what not but damn , this thing looks :smokin: . i like how it was a blazer but then turned into a short truck but then turned the truck cab back into a sort of blazer again

LOL !!! same here bro.. you gotta try the bacon weave chicken...just sayin.

next up i volunteered for the firefighter burn camp. It's a camp that treats burnt kids to a week of camping and various activities. It all run voluntarily by firefighters. This day was the most rewarding day of my life. It humbled me to see so many ( 60 ) burnt kids in so much pain but still having fun. The part that got me upset was one firefighter told me that 80 percent of the kids here are burnt by their parents :mad3::mad3::mad3::mad3: like WTF?

I seen one child that a firefighter explained to me the only place he wasnt burnt was his diaper area and his wrsits and ankles where the rope was. tied to the bed ny his parents and lit on fire. Infuriates me. :mad3:

Well they loved the P40 and had great day of trail rides. I will never walk by the empty boot stand ever again.

I couldnt take pics as some kids have clauses about publicity. i'll post some pics when i get them from the photographer that was there

wish me luck, I am off for some racing at the mud drags then next weekend tuff trucks...

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/Picture076.jpg

Wow - parents that do that type of cruelty should be taken out back and shot :mad3:

Good Job Bro!:grinpimp:

Looks like fun! Good pics and good stories.

Looks like the John Deere shaft held up well. Any plans for an upgrade?

yes shaft no problem.. stock blazer ends... problem. i am looking for f350 front shaft to steal ends off.

picked up a 2007 F350 front shaft....

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1080.jpg

this is not a money build, we are a single income family so I do anything and everything within my means to keep the airplane flyin. making a long travel, high angle front shaft is one of those things I had to make as i cant afford to buy one. so here's my newest version of my john deere front driveshaft...

cutting broken end off..

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1081.jpg

cutting the slip yoke off..

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1083.jpg

rednecked the cv apart..

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1082.jpg

cut the end off a misc driveshaft...

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1088.jpg

took the cv flange..

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1085.jpg

and made a non cv flange...

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1087.jpg

welded the cv flange to the splined tube..

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1091.jpg

also welded up the other end..

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1089.jpg

had to turn down the chevy flange to fit the ford flange, bolt holes were perfect...

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1093.jpg

perfect fit ..

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1096.jpg

final product..

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1094.jpg

big props to NWF, ordered my 1350 yoke 2 pm , recieved it at 130 pm the next day..gotta love that, thanks guys! It even came with the ubolts !! slap a ujoliont in there today and i'm gone wheelin for the long weekend :grinpimp:

here's somethin ya might find interesting.....

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/DSCN1086.jpg

it was parked there in the 50's..all steel, great shape.. would be a very cool rat rod :smokin:

Why change to a shaft without a CV? Too fragile during 5000 rpm clutch dumps? Not worried about extra noise / vibration running without it?

Sounds like you need to save up some broken Dana 60 30 spline stubs---then you can build a 1480 sized non-CV shaft with 40 degree angle capacity.

I'm going the 1480 non-CV route on my build (just because it's quick and cheap), but in the back of my mind I'm expecting vibration might eventually be an issue.

I'm really liking the PTO shaft as a driveline slip joint. Just yesterday I was messing around with one of those---they're a much tighter fit than I'd expected. Seems like a lot better solution than the square tube approach.

Where's this tough trucks you speak of?
There's one here near Victoria B.c , Sept 17,18..

Use caution installing that new yoke. There is a crush sleeve on that pinion and you don't want it any tighter than it was already. You probably already know that but I don't want to see have problems later if you don't.

Ha ha ha ha looks like someone took inspiration from your build! From the Ghetto fab/ hack jobs thread:

i am changing to non cv for better angle and stronger. i have the D60 stubs and am doing that next :smokin:

i have been very happy with the john deere slip shaft.

no I didnt i don t have any experience with gears. NWF sent me the wrong yoke so i just re attached the stock yoke back on. i used my impact till tight.. think i've fucked it up?

lol Ryan Thompson..that thing is a hack:laughing:

I know you wanted to replicate the gun sight but this might be an easier compromise http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230669713450&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:CA:1123

i am doing a local mud drag in a couple of weeks and now i know not to lanch at 5000rpm, thanks for testing that for me :flipoff2:
Truck is looking great! Keep it up!

thank you. It is going back in the shop again for some more mods and theme work now that summer is over gotta get it ready for snow wheeling.

lol, that is a very cool gun. do i know you?



Yea over at chevyk5blazer.com I go under another name. I like to keep the two seperate but I like your rig to much not to comment.

LOL!!! thanks bud :)

stupid question of the day...

Are there any ill effects to running a drive flange ones side and locking hubs on other of open D60?

My geuss as to what happened is the c clip must have broke causing the flange to knock out the cap and eject itself while drving down an FSR. These are 30 spline OEM drive flanges. i have a good locking hub that I would like to install but want to know if there are any ill effects? I dont think so but thought I'd ask.

I can't see there being any problems. If it's locked it's locked

are you locked up front? the only thing that i can think of is if you are and you try driving with the one hub unlocked would make for weird stering. with the hub locked in should be fine.

why not just use drive flanges all over? the rigs is trailered with no locker, go nuts.

I'm surprised a front locker and shafts have not made there way into your axle yet, must drive like a girl :D

i think it'll be fine as well. I dont drive it on the street... much.

I had drive flanges, lost one, cant find another 30 spline.

lol, there are valid reasons why there is no locker or shafts ..YET ! I am single income family ( my choice), just opened a new business, moving next month, yadda yadda yadda, we all have the same deals lol. If i had the bank acct this thing would be long done by now :grinpimp:

it's nice not having a significant other some times, so I can own buggys instead. :grinpimp:

HACK ALERT !!!! warned ya...

I havent had 4wd in my airplane since aug 15th and I'm bout ready to come unglued.. must go wheeling. There is a toy run for kids this weekend and I need to get out.

the f350 flange I am using is not allowing for enough angle and binds at static height. soooo I kinda said fuck it I'm goin wheelin and hacked it for more angle.

not enough angle..

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/caddy045.jpg

you can see where I dug it out to allow for a lil more angle...

my 1350 yoke from NWF..

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa104/HEAVY_METALYO/caddy051.jpg

this should work for the weekend, we are just going to play in some mud so no real flexing. I need to watch my pass droop as it will bind.

So are you going to go back to a CV after?

no sir. single joint up top. im just doing this to get out and beat the shit out of the bitch for a day.Im still doing the D60 stubs welded to a new flange but my buddy who has the tools for that has been busy.

im just doing this to get out and beat the shit out of the bitch for a day.

Enough said, proceed to beat, then post pics:D

I'm curious if that will last longer than 2500 rpm.
It's relying on that 3/8 strip on the end. Maybe if you stacked/welded another 3/8 across that narrow section it might last a wee bit longer. Report back with carnage.

Ha, I'd say if it held in that it'll be good to play around with until you finish your other one.

On a sidenote, fuuuuuck I wish I lived in BC it looks like summer out there still. Don't get me wrong we're having a super mild winter too, but it's still about -5/-10 all the time and about an inch of snow. Today was 0 and it fuckin' rained.

great truck man looks awesome.

got a question though, what were the specs on that BBC? cam,compression, etc.

Better question where's the snow wheeling pics? I know the mainland got hit and so did we. Cough em up!

it's nice not having a significant other some times, so I can own buggys instead. :grinpimp:

well I am in the same boat now :flipoff2:

Ha, I'd say if it held in that it'll be good to play around with until you finish your other one.

still holding LOL!!! :)

On a sidenote, fuuuuuck I wish I lived in BC it looks like summer out there still. Don't get me wrong we're having a super mild winter too, but it's still about -5/-10 all the time and about an inch of snow. Today was 0 and it fuckin' rained.

we got hit with winter this past week...fun stuff

great truck man looks awesome.

thank you. To be honest, one of my best buds built the motor at his shop. i am not a motor guy at all so he ordered the parts and i paid him. Love this motor tho she's kick ass!!!:grinpimp:

the plan is a hydro 32 spline sm465. if that breaks they make a forged shaft for it :)

I thought that going to the the factory 32 spline trans would be stronger but i broke 2 of the main shafts, i wanna go with the 32spline short shaft from ord

Hey greeting man, I really like how the truck turned out for you. It just has that attitude...

Between chevyphil and your build It's given me some ideas and filled the gap.
And in a few ways I felt your pain, going through front driveshafts...
Also running a 465 10 spline and 205 behind it. I have more lift than you maby,.

Have you tried off-set 1350 u-joints is that I see at the pinion, Or your grief may be at the t case?.
