I'm back pursuing this 8.8 replacement option. My re-perched axle has held up well, but still seeps oil. It's not leaving oil spots on the ground as before, but the tube tube is still showing oil seepage. My latest idea is to snag a nearly free Sterling 10.25 out of a friends '89 F-250 parts truck....

Cool, thanks! I'll send you a reply.

The 10.25's are good axles, just like the D60's or corp 14's they are 35 spline and full floater. They are also non disk brake like the older 60's and corp 14's, but they are not hard to convert to disk in the 8 lug format though. Not sure if anyone makes hubs to convert to 5x5.5, but RuffStuff wou...

Great looking stuff! Any HOA issues yet?!

I have 216k on my clock so I'm afraid to end is nearing for my motor too.

What's a CPS ring? I'm on a quest to get a new harmonic balancer for my '96 351.

Give Desolate Motorsports a call. They'll give you $200+ for the beams and more for the complete front.

Ooo tempting. Couple of questions:
- All the pieces are there?
- Any damage or modifications to the pieces?
- When did you buy?

I still wonder why there isn't a part number from where ever the hell that is perfect for a stock width C&T that gets tacked on or just simply put in place. Shit if you find one-- go buy 12 and start selling them or be the guy that makes a thread. I did this 5 years ago but totally forget what I bo...

Hi All, I've recently installed the Solo Motorsports stock width set up on coilovers. I'm running into issues with my stub shaft falling out of the D44 pumpkin. I have a front locker and originally had a spring in the stub shaft to keep the shaft in place, but that spring wasn't long enough when I w...

Nice steering linkage.

I have one but I'm up north in San Jose. How soon do you need it? Send me a PM and we can figure it out.

I'll be there. Hoping to take some desert roads through Death Valley and Vegas on the way to Moab. Maybe some Flagstaff/Sedona trails or the Mojave Trail on the way home.

Wow!

Hood is bent due to bad spring and previous owner forcing it to close... If anyone has a spare hood let me know, specially if its the same color. Steps will stay for a while, but if anything changes I will let you know. Solo Motorsports in Covina had a spare (free) hood this morning. Give them a ca...

That's exactly what my truck looks like when I bought it from a neighbor in 2005.

Wow, this is very informative.

You should totally drop that F350 linkage off at my in-laws in Henderson.

Yeah, wouldn't mind going 8 lug front to open up my full float rear options.

Flange or yoke? VSS in the pumpkin? What locker? What all did Desolate and Solo do? New bearings, seals, ... ?
