Well I finally got to work on it a little again.I got the gears in the Dana 60 done.

Here it is with the cover on it.

My Pop got a set of disc brakes for the rear of his Ford pickup,he couldn't get a brake pedal he liked so off they came.He gave them to me,and with a few modifications I got them to fit on the Dana 60-2.It's a good thing too,because most of the 12 inch drum brake stuff it had is obsolete.

Here's a updated picture of what it will look like.
Thanks Jeff

I like it; I’m in the middle of something similar (Design wise).

Is it stock scrambler wheel base and shortened frame in the concept drawing?

I got out the only two bolts I had to drill.

The passenger side frame rail was leaning in a little at the bottom,I knew the heavy frame on my trailer would come in handy,a little back yard engineering,a couple of tie down straps,and a couple of come alongs along with a couple of home made bolt on "equalizers " 30 seconds latter it was straight again,this was much easier than when we did Nick's frame.It's within a 1/8" of being square also,so now I just have to finish some rust repair,clean and paint it.

Got most of the body mounts repaired today,just need to drill the holes,and they are good as new.

Well after many hours of cutting,fitting,welding,grinding,sanding,and cleaning,the frame is finally ready.

Great job on the welding Ted, it almost looks new!

And putting the "TDK" in the front crossmember will make everyone think it is an aftermarket frame.

What does that piece of paper on the front say?

I think that someone is getting paid too much.......

Maybe it was an early present from the wife. Kind of hard to sneak that under the tree.

You mean that "TDK" isn't Ted's initials?

I thought he was just signing his work.
