It is a drive axle. That is another phase of the project.

6x6 curiosity

just curious, how do you plan to connect to the 2nd differential? A 3 axle tractor drives through a unit bolted to the forward axle that acts as a differential between the two with an air operated lock to assist in traction. Are you planning to fabricate on a smaller scale? I would be very interested in seeing that. Your fabrication skills are obviously of a high order so I don't doubt, I just really want to see the finished project.

I will post more as I get this done. As I need to do step 1 because i use this truck to pull my toy hauler. But keep checking in for more info.

Phase 1: Get 2nd rear in and drivable

phase2: Get body work done

Phase3: Get drive train done


PS: I am open to ideas from others as to better ways to do something. Thanks

Now that just plain looks cool! As far as I've seen so far thats a truly original mod for these trucks!

Wonder how bad the wife would react to burning a pile of cash on something like that?

Are you using a different brake master cylinder? You'll move a lot more brake fluid and get half the movement of the shoes for a given pedal depression by doubling up the rear brakes.
