Default F-350 build
I'v wanted to build an old jug body for a while now, so since I got myself a lil extra time here is a start of my build:

tlt axles locked, bb
pede trans bb
84t spur, 12t pinion (may change) went with 84t and 13t
maxx 2.5 shafts
I have a few 55t but I think I'm going to run a 45t went with 45t
2.2 swamp dogs
tr2
tq3
custom chassis
not sure if I'm going to use the bed or just back half the frame and tube it out....just time will tell
few teaser pics
