Blitzkrieg's fab'd D44 steering knuckle (works on Broncos and I-Beam setups using D44 knuckles). A lot of people will commonly call it a "Spindle."

And some people will overreact towards the misuse of inappropriate nomenclature. If making a quick reference or comparison to *A-Arm uprights, the term is usually acceptable but some people will let it hurt them deeply inside :) These are nice, stronger replacement pieces and they offer improvements for snouts, steering & brakes, etc.

*they cost more than most people's entire front end :)
Dang Willy! Have you been reading the dictionary again!?
Ha ha ha I write a LOT of highly scrutinized documents and sometimes it just kicks in randomly :)

I wanna see this FRANKENCHEVY in action!!! :D

Because its easily adapts to a th400 with a Ford style Transfer Case. And when built correctly they are near bullet proof and are very reliable and still affordable

From what I have heard the 205 is a very stout transfer case. My brother is trying to source one for his Jeep Gladiator(327 chevy, nv4500) but he was telling me the 205s that bolt up to a t400(nv4500) are hard to come by. Is this not the case?

Im dying to see the pics you posted. I am interested in the McNiel 6" bedsides for my build. Havent seen them on a truck. Could you pm/email me a pic if they dont come up soon on the site?

The issue with the 205 is they made it for a Ford, Chevy, and Dodge so the ouput shaft is on different sides for each make. For instance Ford is driver side and Chevy is passenger side for front output shaft

I dont know why the pictures arent showing its like that on every Post i see on the website.
Feel free to email me at DanRigid@gmail.com and i can send you pictures.

Website issues are the reason for the pics not showing. Hopefully the guys will clear it up soon.

And yes the Ford t-cases seem to be easier to find than the pass side drop chevy ones. Dodge ones are on the drive side as well I believe.

I also THINK Ford was the only one to offer them in both a divorced & married setup in the trucks. Dodge & Chevy both only had married setups available I believe.

Ok thats good to know.

Yes you are correct on the t-case being both available in the divorced and married setup. Does anyone know someone that builds transfer cases in southern cal??? they are pretty simple but would rather go to someone that knows what they are doing.
Its the last thing i need in the driveline!!!

The only downside to the 205 is how much it weighs. Make sure you put a mount off the side of it to the frame like the stock trucks had. Otherwise you run the risk of breaking the tail housing.......

Makes sense, I just figured its kinda different for a go fast build. I know they are bomb proof and can be twin sticked.

Basically yes. The difference between cost and weight wasnt worth the extra $1400. And were talking about 45lbs which is very minimal when the vehicle is gonna weight around 5,300lbs
