I have built a lot of traction bars, and personally like a single link above the axle. It provides the best articulation and you won't lose ground clearance.
This is one I built a few years ago on a truck. I just finished one on a chevy I just sold but cannot get photos to upload. I have built a couple of them now. I don't define it as a utility bed, but more of a "sport bed".
The D50 doesn't take more that 2.5hours to drop out, in a properly equipped shop like mine (hoist and air tools), and about 4 hours to reinstall with new bushings. D50 frt axles are practially free if you do some searching. I don't know what your area is like, but just use caution when dealing...
You can do what you feel is nessesary for mud flaps- I make a statement with mine. Paint them black if they are out of place. Here is the set I made for my Dodge. I will eventually polish the stainless steel.
I recently add a moose jr pump to a friends 94 idi with factory turbo, and plugged the wg to see how it runs. It would hold 15psi as long as I had my foot into the throttle. Certainly made it even more fun to drive!
towcat, I have a 53 F-100 short bed I have been waiting to put on my 89 idi F-250! What am I waiting for? Need room in the shop! I plan on making room when I am done with 6 door Jeep conversions.
I would like dibs on the flex plate spacer and reinforcement ring and bolts if they are available. Darn hard pieces to find since a majority of the trucks in my area are manual trans.
