These are the 2" X 47 spline, forged aircraft quality 4340 axles and components made buy Ouverson Eng. This customer asked for a locker in the front and mini spool for the rear. This will be a step by step machining procedure for installing this setup. steve
you were doing well on the pics until you got to the exploder and the ranger. anyone know if the blue crew cab ford is a stock body style?? maybe a limited run in the late 70s??
Ford made many crew cab, 4 door trucks from '73 to '79. Ford made the first crew cab's in the late 50's all the way up to today, i guess you do'nt see any of these in your neck of the woods? steve
Hooked up to Jeese's truck, this rig has 5 ton all the way, with both trucks jumpping up and down Ricky pushed the button on the power stroke box (500+ hp) and won.

no sir, never seen one of those...thanks for the info and keep it coming..
PS: arent those tires mounted backwards, seems like the chevrons would fill up with mud....on tractors and such i have always seen them the other way..
definitely never seen a crew cab on monster truck tires..
i don't think the production on those was very high...most trucks around where i live rust to death, and i haven't seen any, but i've seen very few anywhere else....sooo...yeah. i think those and the supercabs are both kinda rare, at least compared to reg. cabs.

This is what paddling water is, the tires must be mounted backwards becuse when you step on the throttle the tires will climb up, if turned the other way when you hit the gas the truck sink down.I posted a complete thread on this steve

that must have been a real butt puckerin experience the first time you smashed the throttle with the tires mounted forward. any water get into the cab then?
I am going to post how i narrow 2 1/2 ton rockwell front housings on this thread. First step, i cut the housing end off just out side of the weld and measure in 7 15/16" and cut it again. I make up the weld backup strips, 2 items of 1" X 1/8" flat bar 4 3/4" long and bent at 2 1/4" - 90*.
With the line bore jig in place and the shaft through it we are ready for assembly. Slip the end up over the weld backup about 1/4" , you have a gap of 7/16 to under 1/2". With e level( measures to the 1/10 of one degree, .010 rise for 12") set square on the top of the other king pin, set the level on top of the king pin to be set and match it.
The 5 th. pass is the cap, i use spray transfer MIG, this hits it hard, 225 amps., tri mix gas, .035 wire at 520" a minute. This weld joint will pass any AWS or ASME code work, 100% penetration.
when i saw the picture of how you cut off the backing plate with the torch and lathe i made that my new desktop wallpaper. however, after looking at that last weld, i think i am going to have to change my wallpaper again.
This joint can be welded with a mig and 75/25 gas, the tri mix gas and wire speed have a faster depoist and better penetration, this is more for production work.

Actually this is not a rotary table, it is a weld positioner, it has variable speed foot control and a control box to set any speed for welding. Chuck up a 2 1/2 ton rear on spindle and it will support the complete axle.
Steve DOES pay attention to detail on ALL his axles! I've been using an axle I got from Steve for a couple of years now, and it's awesome.
You can use C25 for spray transfer but it does NOT penetrate as well as the Tri-Mix and if you read your manuals some welders can NOT do succesful spray transfer with C25. (Depends on the power of your welder)
I have a PowerMig 255 and I`ve used spray transfer with C25 for 1/4 and 1/8 and it works fine but it's a pretty powerful machine. Anything over 8" or so is WELL worth the time and effor to spray, it's 100% uniform, looks awesome, and is fast.
Is there a low buck way to narrow axles (C-clamps) while keeping everything straight, or is that bar essential?
