My New Truck

[Waystro]

Went ahead and paid half for the truck in Bryan. What a Weekend here's how it starts.
Saturday
jump in truck head over to my uncles
to drop a trailer off. He say want to drive my Toyota? Yep 22mpgs
but wait it needs a alignment and ballpoints Shocks too. Uh ok
so we head out(me and mom) it's already 5:00 still have a 3 hour drive. Get too Bryan spend night in hotel. Then around 12:00 today we look at the truck. It's a 85 from California yep no rust it's clean
Anyways sterling rear axle Dana 50 front?
Facet Duraluft fuel pumps. And a set of cheapo air horns
Oh yeah also got 2 injector pumps with lines thrown in and paid extra for the rack. Might also pick up a engine that overheated and got attacked by a backhoe.
If any of you can help ID this front axle that would be great.

post a pic of the front hub.
since it's a SC truck, chances are it's a D50 unless someone changed it out.

Don't have a pic of the hubs. Didn't even think too
They where just you basic locked unlocked hubs.

if the hubs are small like from a F150...it's a D44. if the hubs are large like a f350, it's a D50. beats the hell out of crawling under the truck, but you can pick your poison.

 

[Waystro]

I see now. Yes there bigger. Whoo Hoo I have a Dana 50!

What are your plans for this rig.
Also please DO NOT use that goose-neck ball mounted like that. They MUST be mounted to the frame and not just the bed and bed-liner like this is or appears to be...

 

[IDIoit]

lol... some people say "whoo hoo" about the D50.
others look at it and say" scrap metal"
id prefer a solid 44 over a TTB 50 anyday.

The plans are to use it mainly for hauling firewood
but I'll also be wheeling it and it'll haul our sand rails to the dunes
Thanks for pointing the hitch out. I'm going to get a turnover hitch that hides away.
Didn't really look at how it was mounted.

Yeah but it's better than the Dana 44 that came in these trucks.
