09 F350 crewcab dually update 9/6
 

Ok, since I didn't care for the crewcab chevy I built, I traded it off. I think I'm gonna stick to fords. So, we're gonna give the 2009 front end a go. Plans are a 2009/10 front clip, crewcab, dually, r2 2speed, killer t-case, t-rex60 axles, dual spring shocks, 110mm frt, 90mm rear, hitec 5645mg steering servo, hitec hs225 shifting servo, spektrum DX3.0, 2.2 Rok Lox, custom frame, ........and the list goes on. Gonna take me a while on this one. I already have most of the parts here, but waiting on the tires and body parts from rpphobby.
I'll update when there is stuff to update on .
Lmk how th plan sounds so far, or if there is anything ya'll woudl change.

Sounds like its gonna be a kick azz rig by the time its done. But are you gonna convert the front end of a highlift body, Or just use the lexan one?

Convert, I don't take the easy way out.:mrgreen:

For us europeans - do you have pics of the 2009 front?
Should be a lot of work, but should become a cooool project!
I´ll watch it closely! 8)

Here's a pic of the front end I'm going to make.

Here's a couple more pics and a short vid with the caliper, the caliper is held on with 2 small (2-1.5mm) screws from tthe backside, leaving them alittle loose for the caliper to have a floating characteristic.
