85 cclb f350 cumapart swap

[BrandonBerkosky]

Called Jesse at high angle driveline for thos baby. It's the slipper for the t case and its a 1480. U may ask y 1480? Well i had all the parts and shafts laying around to make my own shafts with 1480 joints so i am into all the shafts for about $325 after new joints. I also got a blank 4.75 square flange yoke for the sterling bc i thought my driveshaft was a 4.75 square. Well it wasn't. But thats what lathes and mills are for!!! I got her drilled out right and made the pilot ring to match.

Most recent update. I had the engine accessories setup with a hodgepodge of industrial and dodge stuff. I ended up going all industrial. I like the school bus off the shelf gm alternator over the dodge first gen alt that needs a kit or sonething to work without a computer
I also ordered a diamond eye 4 inch exhaust and I'll be integrating a Jacobs exhaust brake.

These nut washer combo things ALWAYS rot away so i made my own from some lug nuts and washers. Then i just faced them on the lathe.

That is a great idea. What are the lug nuts off of? Looks great.

I think they're off of one of my doner trucks from my 74 IH idi build. They're 5/8-18 I believe. I have a bunch more if u need. Ide even make another set for u.

 

[laserjock]

I actually have a clean set of originals but thanks. I had actually thought about Making a set out of 6061. I have access to a little CNC that would make short work of that. Think aluminum would be tough enough?

Truck is done. I'll be tagging it this week. All I can say is holy crap. It's ridiculous. I've only ever messed with IDI's. I can't believe how these things pull. In every gear. Even in 6th gear on the highway. U roll into it it it wants more. I definitely need traction bars. I had to be very smooth when what I really wanted to do was sidestep the clutch. To anyone considering this swap I say get on it.

 

[cpdenton]

Can't wait to see the videos.....

If it weren't such a far commute, I'd come check it out personally.

 

[BrandonBerkosky]

Once I get my traction a bars on I'll smoke the back tires off till they pop

You wont need to side step the clutch with a CumminGs. Let it out and mash the go peddle.
