[hotshotidi]

hey yall,I regret to inform I live in North New Jersey .i tried to upload photos but my phone wont let me drag them.im getting a 1990 f450 7.3 hypermax turbo,4x4 single cab w/ a sleeper cab 15 ft roll back tandom axle 1 live 1 on air bags.I hope I can make the rally

nice truck!
what you you going to haul with a 15ft rollback?

 

[hotshotidi]

Its wheel base of most things like cars some trucks will fit and there's a hydraulic ball and wheel lift

i always thought my 17ft rollback was a little on the short side. if it was a 19ft, the load balance could be better. but you have dual tandems, so that should help out. hauling around forklifts would be easier with that truck though.

nice truck! is that a twin screw? i saw one back in 1989 out west that was a twin screw

 

[hotshotidi]

Twin screw ?.

bolth rear axles drive

 

[hotshotidi]

No I said in the first post , one live one on air bags I done think the idi would like 2 drive axles and the the dana 60 front it need some work but another 2 k in the long run will restore it to new

sorry i missed that the one i seen was an 4x4 idi with a banks turbo 5 speed and a gear vendors o/d unit had a home made gear box that drive bolth axles guy was out of Montana i think

 

[hotshotidi]

Im nj but mines a 89 90 to.it needs more power . Think a twin turbo bullet proof idi in the mix

Sweet truck.

I don't think a secondary drive axle would take much power away, but on that small of truck, it's not needed (especially since it's 4x4). Just a "cool factor."

I wander how a steerable drop axle would fare on a truck like that.
